Zonar - The Prophecy

By Dan Brock

In the year that on the modern calendar would be 400 BC, there was a country in the east that no longer exists today. It has been a long time since the Black Ocean (which is referred to as the Atlantic today, named after this countries capital city of Atlantis) swallowed it. This country was called Atillia. It was the home of great warriors, powerful gods and evil sorcerers. The most well known hero to inhabit the lands of Atillia was a young warrior by the name of Zonar. These pages contain the story of his childhood and the first part of the adventure that made him famous.

Dan Brock

Dan Brock grew up in Kent, Washington loving science fiction and fantasy stories. He loved watching movies and TV shows with space ships and laser gun battles. He started in elementary school by writing a story called The Freeze Ray which the school published for the library. Unfortunately, the book was lost and the story only remains in Dan’s mind. Over the next several years, he’s written various other stories. Somewhere in there, he began writing poetry and scripts for stage productions, many of which have been performed by a professional theater group. At one point, he had a book published of ghost stories and tales of paranormal encounters that he wrote with some input from his brother that he’s currently working on redoing. In addition to writing he is also an accomplished musician, stage actor and artist. He runs an art production company, a Christian record label and now a publishing house. Dan currently resides in Auburn, Washington with his wife.

To lovers of sword and sorcery fiction. And a chalice raised to Robert E Howard, whose barbarian characters have inspired me to create the world of Zonar.

This is an updated reprint of the story Swords and Serpents from Somewhere Out There, published by Publish America. The Publish America version had several errors which appeared after publication that I wanted to correct. I also have recently found some lost passages that I thought should be included. In addition, I wanted to put it out as a standalone book in the Zonar series.

Roughly translated, this book is how the story was originally supposed to be. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read the first book in the Zonar series. I hope that you enjoy it and all future installments.

In the darkness of a prison cell, deep in the heart of the city of Kalob sat a young slave named Zonar. He sat alone in the farthest corner from the barred entrance. Tears began to form in his brown eyes as he began to weep off the fresh new wounds caused by the beatings his master Y’rag had recently delivered to him. The tears started to flow down his dirty, bruised
