OverviewSomething terrible has happened. An unforgivable crime has been committed, and a decision must be made. A nation's leaders have fallen, and power has passed to an unknown entity. Krondathia and her Norkron people are on the brink of war. Isabelle, the 23rd Star Caller, the most powerful woman in Equis, is summoned to a meeting, where she will help decide the fates of many. Lethaniel, General of the Norkron forces, is called to arms to investigate the unsettling rumours rising in the wild, Eastern lands. Assembling his own squad, they go in search of whether or not these whispers are true. Little do both know that the situation is far more complicated than either of them had anticipated, and their enemies are powerful, dangerous and worst of all, numerous. Join Isabelle in her spiritual pathway towards her destiny, envision her dreams, dissect her nightmares and piece together fragments of the ancient prophecy that riddles Equis to the core. Travel East with Lethaniel and his crew, explore vast landscapes, visit a variety of regions and meet those who oppose him with sword in hand. The Ancestral Odyssey: The Utopian Dream is the new fantasy epic, set on a diverse continent called Equis. Blending the genres of drama, action and fantasy together, Odyssey is a breath of fresh air for readers who love intricate storytelling. This first instalment promises the reader a wide selection of unique protagonists and antagonists to carry along a deep, compelling and exciting storyline, involving the clash between good and evil, the rise and fall of civilisations, mystery, humour, great tragedy, love and action-packed sequences. Episode One is the beginning of a truly epic, intensely battle-fueled, dark medieval saga, where myth, magic and realism collide, pushing the genre on to a whole other level, a level where anything can happen, anything is possible and unlike anything you have read before. Every story has a beginning. All beginnings have a history. History has an untold origin. Welcome to the Odyssey.

Romuald Dzemo - Reviewer for Readers' Favourite 5/5 Stars Author InformationMy name is Duncan Gill. I was born in England, in Hemel Hempstead, in July 1987. I grew up in Pembrokeshire along the coastline and studied Art and Design/Graphic Communication in College and University for six years. I've worked in many industries, from farming, catering, hospitality, retail, administration, agriculture, teaching and film, where I served as an editor and lead runner for H Productions. Still, my true passion has and always will be with The Ancestral Odyssey, an epic fantasy series that has become my life's work. Naturally, I have always had a love of fantasy in all its forms, from medieval to everything science fiction, particularly horror. For as long as I can remember, I've always had a very vivid imagination, one that never let me rest and hungered for more, for something wild, beautiful, dangerous, colourful, dark, and otherworldly. I'm inspired by epic stories found in books, games, and films. I love exploring the unknown and understanding the complexities of our heroes, human or otherwise, therein. Studying our origin stories, weaving through our own history, and breaking down mythologies is, in essence, the main source of my creativity, and should you decide to indulge in The Ancestral Odyssey, I feel like this will come across rather swiftly.My goal is to bring readers and creatives such as yourself something new, something that encapsulates what epic fantasy is at its core and to push the genre into bold new territories, to redefine the genre as a whole. Whether I succeed in this endeavour is up to you. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
