Ossa (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615966991)

The land of Ossa is in the midst of change. The old prophets have been murdered and the holy cities razed. Kings are now gods and a gigantic empire of nomads founded by the greatest ruler of the age, the mighty Bar Lev, is sweeping through the plains, across the broad rivers, and over the mountain barriers of Ossa. Against Bar Lev stands one man: the famous captain of mercenaries from the west, Talo the Talein. Their struggle is interrupted, however, by the unfolding of an old prophecy and by the emergence of a new power in the land. The girl-child Getlof, daughter of an ancient race. As warriors and kings hasten to harness this prophecy to their own schemes, they find that the girl, and the spirits of Ossa who stand behind her, have a power they are unable to comprehend and fill a need they never knew existed. Ossa is a story of the spirit and self-realization as much as a tale of adventure and temporal conflict Strong characters meet in surprising situations that are fantastic yet strangely familiar. It is a book that will delight and inspire, and cause the reader to consider the nature of life and the things that matter most. Vincent P. O'Hara is a well known military historian and the author of many books and articles. Ossa is his first published work of fiction.
