About this ebook
Jarmo is a wizard of ancient and esoteric power. He can call forth visions, commune with the ignobly dead, and manipulate political landscapes with a spry flick of his tongue. But the uncounted years spent observing the insanities of humanity have at last taken their toll, and he has thrown off the shackles of his servitude and now wanders the land a snarky and ironical libertine. His last remaining motive: to move the masses of men by the twiddling of his disaffected thumbs.
Follow the lovely Kresha Stone, a far-dreaming farm girl of inescapable beauty, as she is pulled unwittingly through a gauntlet of pain and horrors by the invisible hands of the rogue wizard , steered inexplicably into the heart of madness - into the midst of the guerrilla terrorists known as the Black Mirage.
And Zebithias of One Stride, a carpenter's son by the wizard's jest made leader of a people's revolution in the capitol city called Ghent. Enraged by the death of his brother, Zebithias will stop at nothing to bring down the only establishment capable of combating the terrorists from the north.
Can Kresha and Zebithias escape Jarmo's deviant narrative? Will they discover the true nature of their chosen paths? If they cannot, their entire civilization will crumble in the grand finale of The Jarmo Show.
Jarmotes:
"Expectations are the first sign of insanity."
"Whole civilizations may arise, thrive, and crumble between two points of human intelligence."
"Perception is a many-sided lie, and it is the tool of murderers, rapists, and poor dear mothers alike."
