The world of Aona was once the battleground between powerful magical forces that nearly destroyed the world.  They are coming back!  Sensitive people within the races are tuning into gates to the void of space, visions of light that draw followers, and dark whispers from underground are all truly frightening. The "marandaal" and the "choragh" are sure to bring death and destruction.  Can anything stop them?I don't usually read Dark Fantasy, preferring fun and madcap adventures, but this book drew me in with vivid descriptions of a strange world with two moons and intriguing characters I grew to like.  The author is a master of painting pictures with words, making a reader care about the fate of his many featured actors, like Shakespeare creating a dark world in space.Be prepared to take a journey through a series when you start reading.  The scene is set and the actors walk on the stage in this complicated book, but we must wait to hear what happens next.  Lucky for new readers, the first three books of the series are complete, so we won't need to wait, holding our breath, to learn the next part of the epic saga.  There are hints of hope, possible champions who could turn the tide, so let's pray they survive the chaos.  Begin the journey with this well-written novel (the author told me he has a total of five books planned).
