The new star glowed softly, leading the way as four souls were drawn down the path of destiny under the watchful eyes of the twin moons. Shakai, a beaten, broken young man with a deep, dark secret, prays to a god he has never known, begging for justice. Alara, a beautiful young woman lost and alone in a world she does not know, falls to her knees and laments the hand that fate has dealt her in a world gone mad, where the good die young and evil flourishes. Vallon—an angel born of a wish, chosen by the gods to save the world from the evil that will consume it, or an orphaned mutant, rejected by a world that refuses to understand? Raymar—a warrior lost to history, known only as the “Black Sword,†knows the secret of the star and the horrible fate it foretells for the man who would be known as the Steel Avatar.
Quoted from the author:
I am "a fantasy/sci-fi novel set in an alien world where a number of races have been rebuilding after a devastating war that left the planet in a dark age for more than a millennium, and how one society managed to rediscover the lost technologies and has started a campaign of conquest and extermination against the others.
The religions of the world are based around an ancient alien technology that was used to terraform the planet, technology whose secrets could destroy all life. The "Avatar" of the title is a young man whose birth was foretold by someone who had seen the future through this ancient technology, a man who saw a child born of a temporal paradox, a child who never should have been."
