Blurb
Ataraxia, a land believed to be a mere figment of their folklore, advances on the horizon before their ship's crew. Having set sail with a vague destination, Captain Magellan and his crew are ecstatic. The hope of finding his ailing mother's friend, Sinan, suddenly feels reachable. But is Ataraxia as serene and welcoming as it seems?
Hosting the holistic Academy, the kind and considerate Neoma siblings welcome the lost crew into their abode with open arms but their hospitality comes with a price. A price that the right and just Magellan hesitates to pay. And along with the siblings comes suspicion, manipulation, and threat to the six realms of Ataraxia. Is the all-encompassing Academy truly as inclusive as the Neoma siblings portray?
Join Magellan and his ragtag crew as they explore the mythical land of Ataraxia and her mystical realms which hosts gatekeepers, archdemons, and creatures Magellan had only ever read in his storybooks!
"The Land of Ataraxia: Genesis" is an epic slow-building fantasy fiction that takes you on a journey of a man's moral dilemma and his quest to discover the thin line between what is politically right and wrong.
