Dive deep into the newly revised epic journey of ULMAETOR, a captivating high fantasy novel that places you inside a complex world filled with dark magic and intrigue. In this gripping novel, you live the extraordinary life of Ulmer, a young boy flung into relentless misery and despair. He slowly grows into a powerful lich who seeks to subjugate the immersive landscape of the once active and prosperous realm he grew up in. He embodies evil.
Ulmaetor, born out of Ulmer, is the very definition of Genoivieve's antithesis. As the powerful Grand Matriarch of Aphrodite, Genoivieve represents resilience and honor, demonstrating a unique goodness that inspires. Ulmaetor is the classical opposition, but very far from the typical trope. Because his life has ordinary roots just like anyone, we learn to sympathize with his sadness and his actions. We see him deal with and develop prodigious inner demons, and young Ulmer soon discovers that his destiny under Hades is intricately linked to the world. While embracing evil, he walks along traditional themes of hard work, diligence, leadership, resourcefullness and integrity. He is a goal-setter and a survivor who surprises the world.
Ulmaetor manages to inspire a number of important characters, particularly his twin brother, two step sisters and The Grand Matriarch of Hades, three powerful and highly influential women, all Clerics of Hades. ULMAETOR and GENOIVIEVE definitely make a case for an increased female readership in a genre that has historically been male-oriented. This is especially evident when Ulmaetor and Genoivieve are one day forced to confront each other.
With expertly-crafted world building and a compelling, first-person narrative, Ulmaetor is a mesmerizing tale accented with allegory and literary nuance. He is Volume 2 of the Genoivieve Series but functions well as a stand-alone story. As always, no AI support was employed in the written word or of any hand-drawn maps. Only character images were AI enhanced from personal photographs. The story provides a genuine mosaic of classical lore, ideal for fans of high fantasy, contemporary fantasy and sword & sorcery role-playing alike, and represents a fine read, both within and outside of the genre.
