Book Description
In a time long ago and yet very familiar, an enigmatic young warrior named Syncritus was caught between two worlds. The son of an oracle from an animist tribe, he is taken as a child to a famed eastern city ruled by a "Sage King." After becoming a knight in the fellowship of The Green Sword, he returns to his mother's village to find his destiny in defending the five tribes of the "Fertile Valley" from a mega-technic empire. Yet another country to the north is divided between three religious groups who are constantly at war and are now on the brink of catastrophe. When Syncritus discovers an engineering project that would threaten the ecology and stability of the whole region, colorful and intriguing characters from all of the nations involved find their lives becoming intertwined in a synchronous experience, culminating in an epic "battle of ideas" that is a parable of human history. Syncritus is a 2012 Finalist in the Eric Hoffer Award's "New Horizon" short list of distinguished first time authors!
