Description
What if you could experience a world where truth still matters, and life is still real?
In a world where ancient runes bind power to bloodline and breath, two destinies awaken on opposite sides of a crumbling nation.
Liam, an adopted swordsman from a forgotten valley, discovers he wields Othila—Odien's blade that remembers what the world has forgotten. When darkness descends on his home, he must learn to survive in a world where no space is safe.
Elysia, a priestess of the Sacred Flame, trains in the ancient art of Melding—where presence becomes power and two souls fight as one. But faith alone won't save her people from the empire closing in.
As the Kaethamar Empire spreads its shadow across the land, wielding twisted magic and bone-wrought armies, ancient powers stir and forgotten blades awaken.
One carries a sword that shouldn't exist.
The other bears a flame that refuses to die.
And the world is running out of time.
Advance Praise
"B Rave's Othila echoes of Tolkien. Such beautiful creative writing that is hard not to become engrossed in. The constant introduction of new characters and events leaves me hanging in anticipation for the sequel. In the midst of the quiet it is hard to put down."

I enjoyed reading Othila. The author did a good job with the worldbuilding, but at times I felt the story was dragging a bit. As I understand, this is book 1 of a planned 8-book series, so it is setting up a lot of lore for us. If you are not a reader who enjoys heavy worldbuilding, I don't think you will like it. The story itself is very interesting. I like the elements of ancient magic, runes, and the overall epic fantasy vibes. I will definitely continue reading the series because the magic system of runes and the blade with magical memory is intriguing!

From adopted child to hero. I really enjoyed this book, it had feelings of LOTR. There was a little too much jumping around for my liking and I did get lost at times but I loved the characters and their interactions. Every character action had a purpose and reason to it. I wish the book had had a bit more of a build up to the fighting and a bit more back story but that would make for an excellent prequel! I look forward to book 2.
