"An epic fantasy on a gigantic scale"
When the Derzhi conquered the homeland of the Ezzaria,
they sold the losers into slavery or forced them to flee
into the woods. Seyonne, a master of powerful sorcery, won
the freedom of the Derzhi by defeating, with the help of
his master, Prince Aleeksander, the lord of the demons.
The master returned home only to be met with suspicion
because they think he is demon tainted. Nevertheless, he
resumes his job as warden, freeing humans who are possessed
by demons. The elders do not trust him and have someone be with
him at all times. Seyonne realizes his years of captivity
have changed him. He questions traditions and laws that do
not make any sense to him. When he is on the hunt, he
finds a demon who is not evil and allows him to live. For
this act, he is stripped of his rank and leaves his
homeland, but soon learns the truth about the so-called
demon. He enters the demon homeland so he can learn why
the Erzzarians and the Demons are at war. The truth will
change the world and its rigid beliefs for all time. REVELATION is an epic fantasy on a gigantic scale. The
worlds of the Ezzaria and the demons are meticulously
detailed so that the reader can believe they actually exist
and visualize them in the mind's eye. The hero is
reminiscent of Hercules who does feats of daring do knowing
that he can be killed at any time. Carol Berg lights up
the sky with a wondrous world that exists in every fantasy
fan's imagination. Harriet Klausner
