An ancient fire speaks through myth and symbol, revealing a hidden cosmology of sacred opposition and initiatory trial. In the shadow of Horab’s flame, revelation and consequence walk hand in hand.

In a vision Suzanne Marat-Peredur, my wife, entered a vast Museum where one item awaited her retrieval: “a thick book bound in red leather: someone’s journal, I think. An artist’s, for there are also many sketches!”

This is that book, myself not its author but merely its editor. It is indeed a journal, kept by one Horab of Wolcenn during a year of adventure in Marsan’s World eight centuries following its creation in the wake of the Ravenwood Disaster.
After war and famine all finally seems to be going well there. Or is it? For Horab, a student just completing his doctorate, has been having vivid and disturbing dreams. Soon they will send him questing across his world and into the voids beyond: seeking the girl whose mind he touched, who alone may hold the key to his world’s salvation…or its final destruction.

The Book of Horab, Volume 1 begins the tale of his quest, to be concluded in Volume 2.
