Dream of Fire

Synopsis

Good and evil collide head-on in Nick Prata’s latest effort, Dream of Fire. Gripping, surprising, and at times philosophical, Dream of Fire couples the intensity of a modern battle narrative with the intellect of a classical allegory. Prata’s impressive writing skills are on full display as he crafts an epic tale sure to rivet the adventure seeker and enthrall even the most demanding fantasy reader. Following on the heels of his successful debut, Angels in Iron (Evolution Publishing, 1997), Prata’s new offering is a dizzying plunge into the heart of darkness. It follows the bloody exploits of Kerebos Ikar — a merciless, nihilistic warlord whose thirst for carnage and plunder seems without bounds. Kerebos and his Black Legion carve a swath of terror across the desert, until the murderous fiend unexpectedly meets his match in Antiphon al Caliph, the unassuming and unsteady priest of the Order of the White Flame. When these two adversaries square off, what follows is a desperate struggle with apocalyptic consequences.
