Every purchase comes with a free book. Look inside to learn more! The series is an epic fantasy thriller, full of quests, journeys, mystery, intrigue, action, adventure, excitement and global war. The series is set in Opteria, a planet where birds (avians) evolved to a position of dominance in place of the mammals on Earth. These avians are bipedal and have arms with well-developed hands, as well as wings. They have full powers of speech and are fully as intelligent as humans. They are indeed, the Angels of Opteria. When the planet is threatened with global war, salvation may rest on the arrival of an alien savior, who must recover and bond with three ancient talismans. If he is successful he may gain the powers needed to resist the invaders.The series is true fantasy in the mold of Tolkein and Stephen Donaldson.
In this first book of the series, Falco - leader of the Fallons - begins to experience dreams of alien intervention in his world. At the same time, he is faced with the biggest threat in his civilization’s history. No fewer than four armies are massing at the periphery of the central continents of the world of Opteria.
His dreams are disturbing, and too real to be mere fictions of his imagination. In his attempts to understand their portent, he turns to the body of Myth and Prophecy that has become fundamental to the beliefs and values of his people. He finds that central to these Myths and Prophecies are the recurring themes of an alien savior and the power of the Creator’s Egg – an ancient artefact imbued with magical capabilities that have the power to harness natural forces and the supernatural in defense of the races of Opteria. Supporting the Egg are two other Talismans – The Swords of Freedom that must be wielded by a master of skills long lost to the world, and the Orb of Truth that provides insights, visions and abilities to attack and defend against oppressors. Unfortunately, these Talismans were lost at the end of the Avian Wars of antiquity – a conflict that nearly destroyed Opteria.
As Falco tussles with his dreams and starts to consider his own destiny, Falland is invaded, and the possibility of global war again menaces the peoples of the world.
