A thief named Talus hides among the ruins of Galadash. Hunted by the wizards and dragons who rule there, he escapes with the help of a boy who is more than what he seems, and who opens the door to the greatest adventure Talus has ever known.So begins Awakening Evarun Part I of VI. Awakening Evarun is a serial novel. Part II of VI will be coming soon.Tom's debut fantasy novel is a series of 6 short stories, complete with his own beautiful illustrations. Part I consists of 4 chapters and is a fast, easy read. At the beginning, Talus' world is horrific. You feel his terror as he runs for his life, pursued by all of Galadash. The story has a mystical, magical feel in the form of an unusual young boy, who may or may not be living. Talus doesn't know, and neither does the reader - not for sure. A lot happens in the first 4 chapters, yet the reader does not get lost. I found this short read - a completely new genre for me - extremely  intriguing and look forward to part II, coming soon......Well done, Tom.
