As young gods fall to the Worlds from the stars they are born in, appearing as comets streaking across the sky; sentient magical artifacts call to the minds of men: calling with images and promises of power from Wild Worlds. Massive and strange they hold gigantic monsters and wonders that are beyond the scope of the imaginations of the fearless Tribe of warriors that dare to magically travel to them!
Within the obsidian throne room of the imperial palace excitement is palpable. Primus Croatius, his Premerian obsidian armor clinked at the hinges, his body was somewhat softened as a result of palace living during the past few weeks; Crotias is being summoned. The Emperor is dead; the men chant Croatius’ name.
Deep in the heart of the colossal blue giant star awakenings have begun; a little girl clothed in dense layers of blue light sat up slowly coming awake. A gleaming white locket shone around her neck as she sat up then set off across space in search of someplace to play.
On planet Kalemia, Northern Continent, a slave lad, Pillus, desperate to avoid a beating stumbles under the heavy water buckets his master sent him to fetch. Weeping, Pillus was suddenly startled by a small plume of blue fire as a fireball slammed into the ground. Stumbling over a rock Pillus, his parents in the Realm of the Dead, caught sight of an orb of pulsating white light, before slamming into the ground with a shriek. Forgetting his hurts; Pillus’ his deep purple eyes fixated on a white locket lying on the ground.
From that beginning the reader is carried along on a whirl, Tikus, yellow eyes shaded from the sun, pulling his bow as his green eyed son Piccus watched, a ball of blue fire roaring past, a clearing filled with devastation created by the explosions as the ball of blue fire hit the ground, a little girl, Taisa, whose eyes are filled with a swirling blue light ponders the loss of her locket; all form a basis for the tale.
Ice Marauders, Harogar who is able to glean thoughts of others, death of the slave master, freedom for Pillus and the slave masters family. And the tale continues; Tikus befriends Taisa, a little girl who seems to be alone, and not from the world as Tikus knows it; and learns something of her powers.
The interwoven tale centering on Pillus then Tika then Croatius, and back and forward is a little hard to follow at time. The text is broken into long and short chapters; a table of contents might be helpful. Chapter titles Awakenings, Conquest and Glory, Into the Void, The Affairs of Mortals, Companions of the Gods and more. Huge insects, a little girl with awesome powers, a visit to the Realm of the Dead. The tale is a bit Sci Fi and a bit fantasy; it is a good mix under the able writing skill of author C. W. Holcomb.

Epic YA fantasy by bestselling author, Frank P. Ryan. Eefa and her twin brother Magio are on the run, hunted by a ruthless predator with a pack of wolf hounds. What fate awaits them in the magical Valley of the Raptors? Is it freedom or a trap?
This is the long-awaited 4th book of The Chronicles of Henry Roach-Dairier, a future world without people. Think Planet of the Ants, not Planet of the Apes, for young adults and adults.
