Opis

Looking for some adventure on a long lazy afternoon then take a ride with John Ratick on his rise to power from Sand Rat to The High Lord of the Caliafie, in a tale as old as man and as new as the rising sun. Ratick is a one of a kind adventure that has everything a good epic needs to have: Adventure, fantasy, true love, romance, friendship and betrayal, intense hatred mingled with political intrigue, sword fights, wild beast, prophecies and heresy. A tale that is best summed up in Ratick's own words. "Tell me, priest, what's the purpose of it all. I obtain wealth beyond counting, yet find no happiness. I win the hearts of the most beautiful women in the Four lands and beyond, yet the cold emptiness remains; I carve a land from the wilderness, conquering cities, men and beast alike, yet I hunger for adventure. I build cities and monuments that will still stand millennia after my bones become dust and men have forgotten my name, yet I am unfulfilled. I stand among the kings of the land and they tremble before me yet I long for more. Tell me, priest, what will fill the emptiness."
