Bird of Paradise

About the Book

Bird of Paradise recounts the tale of Jester, a spiritual traveler who created a physical life for himself when he felt he had found paradise. As the court jester to Runik, he also secretly served Runik’s rivals. He lived a carefree life until the war between these kingdoms reached its apocalyptic climax. Jester suddenly found himself in the proverbial eye of a hurricane. Gone were his fun-filled and careless days as the realities of war crept up to the walls of Runik, threatening the lives of those he loved and his own illusions of paradise. Jester’s recent discovery of The Book of Runik afforded him a glimmer of hope: an opportunity to manipulate the rivals into a prolonged stalemate. In his quest to keep the rivals apart he utilized every technique and trick he had at his disposal to dupe and woo his benefactors. Ultimately, he faced the greatest decisions of his life to bring peace.
