Synopsis

The Western Kingdom of Neriah, under King Sonin, is a prosperous outpost on the fringes of the considered barbaric lands. While its citizens lead a peaceful life, they are disported by Aitan, a famous errant storyteller with the exceptional art of telling uncommon tales. Unfortunately, war comes to Neriah, as a new propitious situation lures the new ambitious tyrant Pharesse, the undisputed leader of the Eastern Lands, on a conquest mission to rule all lands to the west. Against an unprecedented military effective, Neriah finds itself under an unexpected siege, leaving Sonin, lost and out of options. With much more at stake, he is forced to consider, unwillingly, capitulation, as all negotiations fail. However, in the nick of desperation, Aitan steps in. Armed with his stories and unconventional approaches, a cunning plan is born to try and save the kingdom. *** "It isn’t often that I read a story as well-written as this one was. The plot is eventful, fun, interesting and the pacing of the plot throughout the novel is simply exquisite. The tedious job of weaving the storyteller’s tales throughout the plot of the book is done to perfection. Characters are fascinating as well as likable. It can be quite an obstacle for writers to create characters that the reader truly cares about but Nash does this seamlessly. The characters draw you in with ease, and I found myself rooting for them all. Most of them undergo some sort of transformation during the novel, which is, of course, the whole point of their story. There were many characters throughout the story, but Nash did a good job of making them stand out rather than being confusing. An excellent page turner which many readers will find memorable as many of the short stories offer excellent tales worthy of recounting. Very impressed by this first-time author."
