The Korellian Odyssey - Requiem

Discovered to possess a terrible, forbidden power, Korel’s destiny is changed forever. Finding himself the victim of a heinous plot to discredit him, 17-year-old Korel is expelled from both his family and his home. Finding himself enslaved, Korel quickly rises up the ranks due to his quiet nobility, stoic sense of virtue, and sharp intelligence. But just when Korel finds himself with a small measure of comfort and stability in his new life, his budding romance with the beautiful Arinnea is dashed to pieces in an explosion of evil. Barely escaping with his life, Korel is once again forced to flee across the plains with only his warrior training, his unbeatable strength, and his memories as his companions. Living in both the present and the past, Korel is condemned to wander throughout the land, encountering creatures dark and dangerous that hold powers strange and terrible. He comes to wonder-no matter how many perils he escapes with his wit, cunning, and almost superhuman might-if he can ever escape his own past. In The Korellian Odyssey: Requiem, author Vance Bachelder introduces an epic tale of one man doomed to wander the earth. Korel’s is a story of unrequited love, false prophesies, cunning enemies, a jealousy strong enough to rip a family apart, and the deep, personal shame of a betrayal that can never be atoned for.
