In Pursuit of Wisdom (The Dark World Saga) (Volume 1)

"If there is a God, why do bad things happen to good people?" It is a timeless question, and one that hangs over all the people of Tenebrae, who have lost faith in a Dark World. Against this backdrop is a quest -- a quest for the famed Staff of Insight, capable of revealing truth to the one who holds it. In a world where deception, strife, hatred, selfishness, cruelty, and betrayal are the everyday norms, imagine the power of a person who wielded such a staff. Every motivation revealed. Evey lie and half-truth exposed. It is an artifact blessed by the One True God -- one of three Artifacts of the Ancients. This is a story of a young man of extraordinary skill coming of age. Abandoned by his parents as a babe, he recognizes that the key to finding this ancient staff is to first find answers to his own past. And it is those answers that lead him in pursuit of wisdom -- for himself -- and for all of Tenebrae. Fans of epic fantasy will enjoy immersing themselves Volume I of the Dark World Saga trilogy. Written from multiple character perspectives (Game of Thrones), with strong female characters (Divergent, Hunger Games) and laced with moral and spiritual quandaries (Chronicles of Narnia), both avid and casual readers will appreciate the scope and grandeur of the novel. That is, at least, the author's hope.
