Caligara (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662478802)

Caligara is a fantasy world like no other existing within the galaxy Anatrickamus. Caligara and its creatures are ancient as the planet rotates differently than Earth, being the size of Jupiter. A brutal war the inhabitants of Caligara are calling the Slaughtering of the Beast War has ended. Humanlike creatures called calayin share their victory with one another, hoping for a bright future after the ceremony of crowning honoring the calayin prince into kingship.

When a Caligaren month ends after postwar checkups for calayins and their allies, such as the jet hounds, a young calayin soldier named A-rayin comes home and learns he is destined to escape the life he has always known on a poor farm in a remote village to a higher purpose. However, he runs into trouble with the soulzishou, preventing his way to greatness. This encounter leaves A-rayin behind in catching up with his evil twin brother Ratchet toward a future they both want but only one can fulfill.

As news of a series of strange and mysterious attacks in the mountains of Arrow Head alert the wizards of Caligara, A-rayin must learn combat and royal etiquette from his new allies if he is to overcome the obstacles presenting themselves both to calayin and wizard alike. Will Ratchet start a new war that A-rayin needs to stop, or will it be the wizards who once considered themselves allies of the kingdom betray all that is good?
