Sometimes, you’re your own worst enemy…

Zaleck, a young albino farmer’s son from a little backwater town, wakes up not to the comfort of his home, but to the confines of a prison cart. His limbs bound, his voice stolen by a gag, panic mounts as he contemplates his fate, unaware of why he even became a target.

Yet, amidst despair, fate — or perhaps something more arcane — intervenes as he’s freed with the help of two other captives: Arneth and Vellis. Arneth, a scholar belonging to an obscure order of master manipulators, who wields knowledge as well as a sword, and who seems to manipulate fate itself. Vellis, a master markswoman whose prowess with the bow is matched only by the shadows of her past. Her ties to the nobility are as complex as the web of secrecy around her. An ex-soldier, she carries the weight of her skills and the burden of her past, her eyes always on the lookout for the next threat, her hand always steady.

Pursued relentlessly by their captors, in service of a dark priest from the powerful “Death Kingdom”, the trio must fight not only to survive, but also learn to trust and work together, uncovering the true reason for their capture.

Soon, they find they might even be able to hide from the slavers, but they can’t ever outrun the consequences of their actions.

My thoughts on Death’s Flow

Victor Klayin asked for my thoughts on his book “Death’s Flow.” This is the first book in his Flow Tales series, a coming-of-age fantasy suitable for middle-grade readers and up.

These themes stood out to me as I read the story.

The storytelling immerses readers in a rich and intricate world created in the magical mind of Mr. Klayin.

The characters, such as Zaleck, Arneth, and Vellis, are well-developed, adding depth to their journey through their backgrounds.

The writing is skillful, with a smooth narrative flow that keeps you reading just one more page, then one more chapter. I found a few minor language quirks that can easily be overlooked, especially considering English may not be the author’s first language.

“Death’s Flow” provides an entertaining reading experience that captivates readers from start to finish. It’s packed with action, adventure, magic, mystery, suspense, and themes of friendship discovered in the most unexpected places.

Fans of fantasy, magic, and adventure will adore this book! Grab your copy today and start turning those pages.
