The planet of Kelanni is constantly bombarded with meteorites known as “lodestones,” precious resources with the mysterious ability to allow the Kelannites to bend the laws of physics and science. Having recognized the invaluable powers that the lodestones possess, The Prophet, the planet’s evil ruler, forces the masses to mine the precious ore – quashing any resistance by violent force. As the weight of The Prophet’s oppressive rule becomes too cumbersome to bear, though, a small band of rebels join together to overthrow their cruel oppressor and save their beloved homeland – but with a host of daunting challenges standing in the way of their freedom, their impassioned quest soon proves to be no easy task...

The Sea Of Storms is a fascinating fantasy tale. In it, author Mark Whiteway channels the likes of Herbert, Tolkien, et al, in crafting a compelling world of breathtaking action and mystical adventure. With a vivid cast of well-developed characters and an intriguing mix of intersecting plotlines, The Sea Of Storms is a broad-ranging Sci-Fi epic sure to please die-hard fans of well-crafted fantasy. A promising debut in what one can only hope is an equally satisfying series.
