Having enjoyed the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, and inspired to write a story of my own with similar depth in the fantasy genre, I completed a rough draft on this writing then. However, attaining a successful career in the technical field delayed its completion. 24 years later my technical career ended due to outsourcing. After reconsidering my career direction again, I decided to pick up my rough drafts on this story and completed this book. My original inspirations went beyond these pages, and my plans are to complete them with a follow-up trilogy which will continue this story to an epic end.view less
