Synopsis

Apprentice assassin Arek Winterthorn has a power even he himself doesn't understand. Unable to cast even the simplest of spells, he can still disrupt the magic of others with a single touch. Arek's master, Silbane, is ordered to use that power to close a gate between their world and one inhabited by demons. This will save their people, but potentially at the cost of Arek's life. Thus begins an epic quest brimming with betrayals, violence, and intrigue. Silbane and Arek will fight relentlessly in battles and skirmishes against mages, dwarves, elves, and even dragons, but their true adversary may be each other. In the end, they will be faced with the ultimate question: What sacrifice is too great for the good of their people and their world?With non-stop action, an intricate mix of powerful magic and deadly martial arts, Mythborn brings to life a world filled with creatures and gods from legend crafted by the designer of the award-winning Elder Scrolls: Arena and martial arts master, V. Lakshman.

About this title

Review

• Suspenseful, fast-paced, and complex epic dark fantasy –  Chanticleer Book Reviews
• An ambitious, colorful and highly readable fantasy epic – Kirkus Reviews
• MYTHBORN is grippingly intense, with new developments on every page and a thoughtful plot that engages the mind and the heart – IndieReader Reviews
• A backstabbing, arrow-slinging, sword-swinging, lightning-flinging romp of a ride, Lakshman's tale is storytelling at its best.  Dark fantasy never looked so good. - Self-Publishing Review, 5 stars

About the Author

Vijay Lakshman was born in Ottawa, Canada. He spent his early years in Bangkok, Thailand. When he was nine, his father took him to a martial arts exhibition and his life changed forever. He dedicated the next forty years to mastering the martial arts, his quest taking him from Thailand, across the U.S. and Europe, to Hong Kong and China. In 1991 he earned his black belt and accumulated thousands of hours in the ring, fighting against the best the world had to offer, or at least the best in his immediate vicinity. His true passion however, is writing. Mythborn his first epic fantasy series, and pays homage to a lifetime spent mastering the arts of combat and to his passion for writing fantasy and science fiction. Vijay has created over eighty-five titles in his career as a video game designer and architect of game-based learning software, but spends his free time entertaining his curiosity. This includes researching almost anything on Google, building aquascapes, and flying (and mostly crashing) quadcopters. His life experiences include graduation from the Harvard Business School's General Manager Program, forty years of training in karate, sixteen years of close combat grappling, fifteen years of kendo, six years of long-distance cycling, and taking various things in the house apart. Putting everything back together is the job of a future, better, version of himself – hopefully one with rechargeable batteries and an extended warranty.
