Description

After an encounter with an evil entity from the other world, young hunter Enidor and sailors of the Nefelgar find themselves dragged into a centuries-old war between the mysterious Keepers of Order and Rebels...

The sailors of the Nefelgar ventured far into the distant West Sea and found the most precious ore on earth - the long-searched-for legendary nurit.

Unfortunately, this brought a curse upon them.

Chased by an ancient dark entity from the underworld, they soon find themselves drawn into a terrifying nightmare. Their chronicler and hunter Enidor fails in his lonely quest for a powerful weapon against evil creatures - and ends up on the verge of despair.

Meanwhile, in the forecastle, a mysterious and bloodcurdling scene takes place that might bring doom to all of the sailors...

One person. One word. One night. It will take as little as that to change the trajectory of their future forever.

And this will be only the beginning, for a centuries-old war between the ancient powers of the world is raging across lands and seas - and in people's souls. No one will escape it.

After an encounter with an evil entity from the other world, young hunter Enidor and sailors of the Nefelgar find themselves dragged into a centuries-old war between the mysterious Keepers of Order...

A Legend of the Sailors: Book 1, Flame, Light and Song
Adam Wodyk
Genre: Christian, Sci Fi
It was a bold quest but the brave crewmembers of the Nefelgar were determined to find nurit, a valuable ore. Nurit can only be found in the dangerous waters of the Rocky Lowlands in the West Sea. They were successful in their quest, but as they made the return trip to the Port of Agramant, an evil being accompanied the crew on the Nefelgar, spreading rebellion, turmoil, and madness between the sailors. Nightmares plagued twenty-two-year-old chronicler/storyteller Enidor,; he saw evil beings and was on the edge of insanity and is on the brink of taking his own life. All is not lost when the King of Light, Elnarin, comes to his rescue. Will the sailors be able to stave off the darkness, the evil, that permeates every inch of their ship, Nefelgar?
WOW! If this is the first book in this series, I can hardly wait to read the following books. The genre is a mixture of horror, fantasy and thriller. I love the folklore in this intriguing tale. The atmosphere is dark and ominous. I was so caught up in this tale I couldn’t stop listening out of terror, unease, fright and intrigue. There are biblical themes running throughout this tale. The ending offers readers a sense of hope, forgiveness and redemption. Author Adam Wodyk is a genius when it comes to world building. The characters are well fleshed out. Don’t miss this tale.

Thank you NetGalley for the review copy.
