The Blackfire Chronicles

The Blackfire - that mysterious and gigantic wheel of black flame spinning in the southern sky has been an enigma for thousands of turnings. From the depths of a gargantuan pit in a barren desert rises an enormous stone box. Slaves toil in the broiling heat, digging out the mysterious object which has no door, no windows, no features of any kind. Revan has spent nearly his entire life here. He has only vague and indistinct memories of a time before the toil, digging and torment. Arval, a newly arrived digger, befriends Revan and tells him of the world beyond the pit’s walls, of its cities, its foods and its wonders. Yet unseen and unknown to Revan, above the rim of the pit and far to the south, looms the Blackfire – a gigantic rotating wheel of black flames that obscures and dominates the entirety of the southern sky. Red and gold lightning flash threateningly and ominously in its fringes. What is it? Who created it and why? This is an epic tale of two young men who seek to escape their sadistic captors, the brutal and vile Nojii. How will they win their freedom? What will they discover when they finally escape, and where will fate lead them? Will secrets and knowledge, long hidden and lost, be rediscovered?
