Pages : 242
Book Description
How much would you sacrifice for love? That's the question one man is forced to answer as the sins of men eons earlier start to take their toll on all of existence and the fate of life is to be judged by the heart and compassion of man. There was a mistake made long ago. A mistake that is too late to change or take back, and if fate was to take its course, oblivious to consequence or morality, this mistake, would bring about what all cultures commonly fear...the end of the world, a cease to all living existence throughout the galaxy; the apocalypse. Now, in a world where love is scarce and hate runs wild, one man is sent on an incredible journey to answer the question; how much would you sacrifice for love? Rysqo, the Black Dragon not only stimulates your imagination, but it challenges your sense of reality. RBD has been described as the ultimate love story, one in which sacrifice of life and love are equally valued. A decision does need to be made though; one man's love, or the continuance of existence?
