By Steven Buchko

Chronicle of Zanupo is an epic tale of magic, war, and survival set in a richly imagined world. The story follows the Zanupi and Naluru, two rival tribes in the Valley of the Ancients, as they face a powerful new threat in the form of the Hordelings. With their twisted magic and powerful weapons, the Hordelings seem unbeatable, and the Zanupi and Naluru are forced to put aside their differences and work together to fight for their survival.

As the war rages on, the two tribes begin to uncover the secrets of a long-lost civilization, one that holds the key to defeating the Hordelings once and for all. But they must navigate treacherous terrain, battle fierce enemies, and face their own inner demons in order to uncover the truth and save their world.

Throughout the book, readers will be transported to a vividly imagined world filled with intricate details, from the mystical creatures and landscapes to the unique cultures and customs of the tribes. The characters are richly drawn and full of depth, making it easy to become invested in their struggles and triumphs.

With its fast-paced action, intense battles, and powerful themes of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity, Chronicle of Zanupo is a must-read for fans of epic fantasy and adventure.
