Not the kind of fantasy that may be perceived as an attempt to escape reality, but rather one that suggests that the ‘real’ world itself is informed by the fantastical, if only we were able to shift our perception enough to question preconceptions that often amount to nothing more than superstition. Fables and myths contain a very real power – that of stirring human awareness into completely new directions by creating fresh neural pathways that can lead into directions that previously may have been deemed unthinkable.
Within these pages you will find Claudio Silvano’s books, his novellas and short stories, as well as – if you wish to delve deeper – some of his musings on the nature of this phenomenon we call life.
He welcomes your input, so if you feel like writing him a line or two, don’t hesitate. You may even get a reply… ;p
Once again, welcome to Fabled Realms.
DESTINY OF FIRE
ILLIOM is a young woman who lives by herself in the sanctuary of the beautiful but unforgiving Sevrock Mountains. When a Queen’s Rider by the name of Tarmel comes for her armed with a cryptic summons she is both confused and conflicted, as her outrage at this intrusion vies with her deep-seated hunger to be among people again.
How is it even possible that the queen is even aware of her existence? And what can she possibly want from her? This inexplicable development sets her on a course of self discovery that Illiom is woefully unprepared for.
Illiom cannot know this, but her destiny has finally caught up with her, and the journey ahead is inextricably interwoven with the fate of the land, and the future of her entire world.
