About this ebook

Malcasters now rule Cartenia, through slavery, bloodshed and their ‘curse’. Fear is their weapon and the people yield, for the price of defiance is high. But there are some...

Outnumbered and overpowered, some rebel, like the Trealingers and, when pressed, the mysterious Seers. Much diminished due to relentless Malcaster violence, the Seers now, mostly hide in their last remaining fortress. Some, however, scattered among the townships, live undercover and use their unique abilities to help.

To say the Malcasters seek the Seer stronghold is obvious; that they've spent years looking is a given. But when they finally track down an old woman Seer and her grandson, Javen, they keenly anticipate the successful conclusion of their search -- the Seer's hidden fortress. But timing is everything, and they're just a little late. Now, the tracker seeks Javen, and he's not the only one on the boy's trail.

Author

R. Barrett

In the early 90’s the plight of the Dinka came to my attention and I became financially involved. It was not uncommon to read of wholesale murder, slavery and other atrocities in the weekly updates. When our nest emptied in 2005, a particularly heartbreaking news story arrived. The concept for this book was born out of that heartbreak. While it’s common in Fantasy for the protagonist to achieve greatness or powers by hereditary means, mystic download or just plain dumb luck, the protagonists in "Javen Legacy of the Seers," receive their abilities by conscious sacrifice. If I were to pinpoint any one uniqueness, it would be this. Just as the heroes in Sudan, dead and living, (even those bombarded today in the Nuba Mountains) make conscious sacrifices for the lives of their loved ones or strangers, I wanted "Javen’s’" characters to communicate these same sacrifices, pain, joy and growth to Young Adult Fantasy readers, like a Fantasy Fable. "Javen Legacy of the Seers," isn’t an allegory or dark fantasy, but occasionally, the depravities occurring in Sudan speak. Though the bad guy doesn’t die in the end, – as he’s needed for the next couple books – this isn’t a dark story. A lighter hand was used, sometimes comic, sometimes poignant but always fantastical. In "Javen," the bad guy isn’t ugly, and some good guys look like gorgons, but that’s real. The evil don’t wear neon signs or always dress in black. This continues to be the mindset for this series. Thank you for your interest.
