About Rivo Blade of the Shooting Star

"A return to sincere, heroic storytelling... In an age of angsty, nihilistic protagonists, Rivo is a breath of fresh air" - J.Z. Pitts, author of "Virtual Rebel" and "The Christmas Demon" "Rivo was like a shooting star; when it seemed the sun had set on the Kingdom and darkness came, he shone brightly. And like a shooting star, when the sun rose again and the darkness lifted, he was gone." A merciless enemy, a mysterious power, and a hero desperate for a second chance. Strange and terrifying beasts known as the Haundo come seemingly out of nowhere to terrorize the land. Rivo is a young soldier who falls in battle against this vicious enemy, only to come back as a spirit to witness his own rise and fall over the eventful final weeks of his life: the friends he made, the enemies he encountered, the battles he survived, and the love he never realized was there. Why must he watch his own story unfold yet again? Who or what holds his fate? Will he ever be able to reclaim his life...along with the heart of the one who loved him in silence? Join Rivo and his friends as they journey through a kingdom under threat in a clean epic fantasy where swords are drawn, hearts are broken, and a wish can alter fate. A tale for both the young and the young at heart. A balance action & adventure with heavier themes of loss and grief, along with plenty of heroism, humor, and heartwarming moments along the way. For those who enjoy Name of the Wind, Shadow and Bone, Princess Bride, Zelda, Naruto, Demon Slayer and others. Length: 284 pages Early reader feedback: "A story with heart" - Patrick Skelton, author of "The Device" and "Barriers" "I thoroughly enjoyed it" - Dennis Klatt, early reader "The book is brilliant" - Pauline Lovett, early reader
