Author Description

"There was no trouble on Klyv; no envy, no anger, no danger, no fear. All things were good and nothing was forbidden except for the islands." That was before the hori came. Now the planet is troubled. The ground shakes. Fire falls from the sky. The animals no longer speak. There is pain and sorrow and death, for all but a few have abandoned the old ways. Ka-Rel is among those few. Born just after the hori takeover, he lives in protected isolation with the few who remain loyal to the Before One and keep the old ways. The day after he becomes an elder, Ka-Rel is visited by an angelic being and given a vision of another planet. He is told there is a mystery there that will be the answer to Klyv's trouble. When Ka-Rel asks how he is to reach such a faraway place, the angel assures him the way will be provided. Will the mission of Ka-Rel get off the ground in time? Or will the hori get there first and destroy the last of the true Klyvians? If you're a fan of the BLACKWELL trilogy, you already know the name of Ka-Rel. Now you can know the man. If you haven't read any of the BLACKWELL novels, start with Ka-Rel and get the whole story.
