SONG of LOCKE: The Dark Empyrean

Claim a magical sword. Chase a lost love. Tame a flying beast. Battle a fallen god. Unlock your secret heroism. A VILE SORCERER steals the power of a fallen god. And with that power, he curses Elfland. The waters vanish, the skies turn permanently dark, and wraiths stalk the land of the living, hungry for blood and flesh. Unless someone can break the curse, every living creature will die. To the people’s surprise, the SEER passes over his own apprentice and summons a BOY NAMED LOCKE. Thus the last hopes of an entire land fall on one who is unproven—who as yet barely believes in himself. With the help of his FAIRY COMPANION, Locke must journey to treacherous climes, confront monstrous wolves, and wield a magic blade. Ultimately, he must risk his life to rescue a GODDESS from the clutches of the fallen god. If Locke succeeds, he will prove his own heroism. But if he fails, he and everyone he loves WILL DIE IN DARKNESS. * * * SONG OF LOCKE is the story of a boy on a quest. The prose, narrated from the perspective of a fairy-like Sylfe, is beautiful, ornate, and enchantingly lyrical. The themes chase human truths, including the longing for spiritual hope in a godless world. The complex magic system weaves a dark and mysterious undertone. The setting is a detailed, gritty fantasy world, one drenched in human emotion. In short, SONG OF LOCKE is as charmingly fanciful as Barrie’s PETER PAN, as spiritually thematic as Lewis’s CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, and as deeply poetic as Tolkien’s SILMARILLION. SONG OF LOCKE is an epic for everyone who loves good stories— For anyone who has longed for something that seemed forever out of reach.
