Arayot: Archangel Rising

 

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the darkness shall spring; Renewed shall be spear that was broken, the exiled will yet break the ring. (adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien)

Arayot Chronicles is a sizeable series in which the Confederated Republics of Scotia, a nation of autonomous city-states within our own day and time, must compete for its survival against certain powers which seek to instate a united global government.

Most of the series follows a young lad named Benjamin, who’s past may hold secrets imperative to the Republics future.

But as I wrote, I found the various side characters developing more and more. No longer were they merely side characters to Benjamin’s tale. Indeed, each of them became ‘the hero of their own story’ so to speak.

On the surface, Lionsgate may look like any other small western town. But when Benjamin’s arrival is proceeded by a reputation he didn’t even know he had, he quickly finds out that there’s more to Lionsgate than meets the eye.

Archangel Rising is the story of friends to be made, feuds to be waged, and more adventures than a cheeky adolescent Scotsman knows what to do with.
