Tales Of The Ocean City: Book Two: Descent Into The Abyss / Tales Of The Ocean City (ePub)

'Tales Of The Ocean City' is the epic story of a young civilization forced to confront the Vorm, a terrible enemy from the deep past. Join Harl'ut and the noble pegasus Vispushin on this epic adventure as they lead a group of young warriors into the heart of the Vorm Hive.

In Book Two: Descent Into The Abyss, Harl'ut recovers from his harrowing adventure from Book One: Battle In The Sky. He walks through the streets of The Ocean City, visits the Sculpture Garden and his friend, Elá, the bard, and engages in exciting training games with warrior/mentor, Calanctus. Then the story takes you down the throat of the vast volcano, Pla'than'taa, once worshipped as a god, where Harl'ut enacts a deadly initiation ritual, confronts the barbaric past of his people and battles a terrifying monster.

A collage of vibrant images adorns the pages of Tales Of The Ocean City, treating readers to more than a simple fantasy narrative. Well-chosen colors and loosely outlined designs add emotive elements and offer thoughtful reflections of the unfolding battle sequence, creating an intensely immersive experience. Matching the feel of the imagery, the text includes abundant use of descriptive, almost poetic prose, which adds vigor to the exciting storyline. I found the overall experience to be hypnotic, both in the book's vivid presentation and its innovation. Mixing qualities from graphic novels, abstract art, classic fantasy, and creative fiction, Christopher Kaufman's book is an imaginative adventure that is sure to engage your senses.

"Tales Of The Ocean City is a great story with music that creates a vivid sensual atmosphere. Powerful, extremely imaginative work!"
