Keahzztaoom and Doômess are two young Rajë who are about to embark on a fool’s errand to rescue the town of Rishkai from claws of the ancient Baaleks. With only their gifting and the Inner Silence to guide them, the men know it is their duty as Rajës to extinguish the dark and save who they can. But they just don’t want to die trying. To reach the town unseen they must cross the dreaded Wundrain forest, a dangerous place full of magic, mystery, and beasts. Although time is of the essence, the Wundrain does not respect time or space. After ignoring a warning from an aging farmer living on the edge of the forest, Keahzztaoom and Doômess plod on horseback into the Wundrain where uncertainty awaits. As they meet creatures of glory from the unknown, both men know that no one approaches the world of fairy and remains unchanged. Now only time will tell if they can rescue the people of Rishkai before it is too late. An Otherwise Silent Sea is the tale of two young men and their dangerous journey of prayer, hope, and uncertainty as they embark on a quest to save a town from an ancient evil force.
Chronicler of tales from other worlds. Every hero should become legend; every tragedy a lament. I write clean fantasy that explores faith and human brokeness through imaginative worldbuilding and prayer.
The Wundrain is a forest in which our characters will face many fae as well as themselves. It is here, in the Wundrain forest, that they will be shaped for the decisions ahead of them.
Book Excerpt
An Otherwise Silent Sea
Keahzztaoom and Doômess had been taught differently, of course; the Wundrain was thought to be a thin place where the vast creations of Èyüm sojourned with curious intent. This made the thought of the Wundrain all the more alluring but certainly no less dangerous; a rogue Baalexim or a knowledgeable sorcerer could stray through thin places. Even in the absence of such dark wanderers, a creature of bright glory is perhaps just as dangerous by the weight of its otherness alone.
