Sadgi

LE'MAR THE OMNIPOTENT, THE OMNIPRESENT, THE OMNISCIENT.....The Battle for Eldor's Forest cost the world not only the elvin forest, but also every chance they had of standing up against the dark lord. The Southern Wolf tribes live defenceless in New Avalion, their walls shaken to the ground and the art of the elements forbidden. The mer-Kingdom was defeated in Avalendil, with no knowledge of where the survivors reside. And the elves have left for the Far Isles, leaving the ancient forest to the rule of Le'Mar's new servant, Darcwulf.And all across the land lies Le'Mar's fog, his ever-present window to all that is happening on the land. The people of the earth have lived in relative peace in the two year's since Shadowolf's victory over Sonersaat the DragonRider, a victory that had almost cost him his life when he challenged Le'Mar thereafter. With no knowledge of where the hero escaped to and under the watchful gaze of Le'Mar and Darcwulf, the earth makes no move to retaliate against the dark lord. It is to such circumstances that Shadowolf returns with powerful allies at his side. Determined to take back the world from Le'Mar's clutches, he begins his quest for four powerful artefacts encrusted with the tomes of time. Entwined in this quest is his personal mission to find and reclaim those he loves and lost. Yet, the greatest undertaking he faces is to convince the world to fight for their freedom. This time, Shadowolf is taking the war to Le'Mar.The Masaran Phenomenon approaches again, and the "Prophecy of the Sadgi" is upon them...***### REVIEWS AND PRAISE ###***"Jooste's imagination has depth of both scale and scope, with parallels between this imaginary world and the real world, characterised by an interesting contrast between the industrialised evil forces and the 'natural' forces of good..."- Thomas Jeffery; NELM News 49, Dec 2008: National English Literary Museum of South Africa"Fans of high fantasy such as Tolkien, Terry Brooks or David Eddings will be well pleased with Jooste's first novels and foray into the popular genre...He is finding his rhythm and style, doing a great job of making the reader care for the hero and characters; these books will be in my rotation of heavily reread fantasy novels in my bookshelf."Ellen Hotchkiss; Feb 2009: Lecturer, Milledgeville, Georgia"If you are looking for an epic, sweeping expanse fantasy book to read, then this is it. Congratulations to Shaun Jooste for entering the world of print in the fantasy genre with a tale that will be picked up again and again just so I can immerse myself into his richly described world that is Celenic Earth."C Melrose; Goodreads review; Jan 2016: Writer, Perth, Australia
