THE ESSENCE OF BEING

About the Book

The story chronicles the trials of a man born in a nebulous and empty realm called "The Void." Lacking an identity and enticed by fragments of vague memories he cannot understand, he is desperate to discover who he is. Searching the endless gloom for answers, he successfully escapes through a mysterious portal of light and encounters an enigmatic being known as "The Keeper of Mirrors" who offers to restore his latent memories in exchange for the retrieval of a special mirror in the possession of the evil and powerful sorcerer, Magus Blackhand.

Agreeing to The Keeper's terms, this man-with-no-name sets out armed only with a mystical sword to guide and protect him. Along the way, he befriends a beautiful woman named Rian, whom he rescues from carnivorous beasts, and together the pair treks across perilous terrains inhabited by savage, barbaric races and ancient, malevolent deities toward the dark wizard's mountainous lair.

But as their trials become more perilous, the man-with-no-name begins to discover that there are other things in life that define a person's character besides a forgotten past, and eventually he is confronted with a fateful decision that will ultimately determine his final fate.
