Description

It all begins with the wizardry contest.

Fifteen-year-old Kiano, a sorcerer who feels out of place among both humans and his own kind, is drawn to the fierce competition where commoners will face off against the aristocracy of Gartâr. Despite his guardian's warnings about the dangers of the Order of Mages, Kiano can't resist the pull of the mysterious glade where the contest is held.

But when a magical tree—supposed to be a portal to the contest—transports him and several aspiring wizards to the dangerous land of beasts, his life takes a drastic turn. There, he meets Derrick, a human boy driven to become the most powerful wizard and save his family from poverty, and Arlena, a sorceress fuelled by vengeance for her persecuted kin. Together, the three must navigate treacherous lands and evade the dark forces that conspire against them, led by the powerful Queen of Hezakhal.

As they face unimaginable dangers, Kiano, Derrick, and Arlena each begin to question the paths they've been set on. Can they defy the fate that demands war between humans and sorcerers and bring peace to their divided world? Or will the dark forces at play ensure their destinies remain bound by conflict?

An epic tale of magic, friendship, and choosing your own destiny,The Hezakhal Dungeonwill captivate fans of fantasy and adventure.

    This threw me for a bit of a loop. The prose is wonderful and well-written, the chapter itself seems compact and appears to be a complete short story yet it begins as 'Chapter 2'. I believe this is an unmarked stub and there are no links to where the rest of the book is. The writing was great and this was interesting, but the fact it does not match the blurb confuses me, but the piece is good enough for 4.5 stars even so. Some of the expressions and the descriptions were clunky, giving some POV issues because of its omnipresent 3rd person view that made the action a bit awkward. There are a lot of run on sentences that are linked via comma splices when they should have been split.
