“The main character, Martin, possesses a dark, distinctly British sense of humor, which colors the book even at its most harrowing moments.”
Once upon a time there were many DarkSeers in Morthia, but now there are just two - and that, it seems, is one too many. Following a trail seeking information about his parents, Martin becomes a wildcard in a power struggle between these two almost omnipotent beings who have been at a stalemate for centuries. Inadvertently caught up in their clash of wills, it seems that whoever gets Martin wins – so the outcome doesn’t bode well for him either way.
The frustration and anger of Martin Curnow’s redundancy catapults him from the London banking scene into madness – or so he thinks. But the magical land of Morthia is real, as are its dangers. The key to his survival lies in uncovering his parents’ story, but for that, he has to believe not only in Morthia, but in himself. His inability to make decisions cost him his job, now it could cost him his life.
This is a standalone tale that combines thriller with fantasy and dark psychological realism.
“The dialogue helps to build each character, and feels true to life and compelling.”
“The plot is an epic one, with battles for power taking place alongside Martin's journey to understand who he really is, and what his "crazy" parents truly are.”
“I highly recommend Darkseer for any fantasy fans, as Lewando takes time and care to build an vivid, exciting world, and a cast of characters that are fun, unique, and compelling. Even for non-fantasy fans like myself, it is an enjoyable read!
