A Legend of the Sailors (Flame, Light and Song Book 1)

A mythic fantasy with the cosmic scope of Tolkien's Silmarillion and the promised spring of Lewis's Narnia, told in the spirit of older epics—for readers who love stories where the great battles are fought first within the heart.

"Enidor clearly felt that something awful was happening to him, but he could do nothing about it. He had been toughened up by distant expeditions and the wielding of various weapons, which he had proven more than once in sea battles or skirmishes with pirates and slave traders. However, he could not fight the demonic forces from another world that lurked in the distant seas and about which he had heard in old sagas and legends. To fight the invisible creatures of the Underworld or the Mysterious Land, who could take on different shapes, one needed a weapon of the most powerful kind—a weapon that was not at all like a sword or an enchanted amulet. A weapon called Eithua.

No one really knew what Eithua was, but according to legends, many in the world knew how to use this weapon and could perform amazing miracles with it. They said that it was available to anyone who wished to obtain it and that one should seek it out in the Realm of Spirits. They also spoke of the One who had made it and who could give it to people, as no one could find or craft such a weapon without the help of the King of Light."
