The Light of Chorad: A Coming-of-Age Fantasy Quest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798318808296)

When the Light of Chorad-the source of his country's warrior power-is stolen, twelve-year-old Quan is sent on a dangerous journey into enemy lands. Curious and brave, he has no idea that the quest itself is a test meant to shape who he will become.

Traveling with him is Dalmeh, a fourteen-year-old warrior civilian-highly trained, fiercely loyal, and sworn to protect their people. Alongside them is BakBak, a strange lavender-furred creature called a Mootz, with bright yellow eyes, a red nose, and long upright ears. They believe it is only an animal.

They are wrong.

Across hostile territory ruled by a ruthless queen who has imprisoned her own brother, the trio must evade elite warriors, trust unexpected allies, and confront dangers that will test their courage and judgment. With help from a mysterious shapeshifter and the imprisoned king himself, they race to reclaim the Light before war becomes inevitable.

A clean, imaginative coming-of-age fantasy, The Light of Chorad is a story of bravery, hidden purpose, and the quiet strength that grows when a child steps into who they are meant to be.
