Dark Horse (Oracle of the Dread Gods)

by Jay Swanson

Chakra must survive the next two nights, or Melina will die. Melina has contracted a disease no one has seen in decades that will kill her in a matter of days. There is no cure; unless one believes an outcast sorcerer. Chakra has no choice but to believe.

Pitted against vicious monsters and lethal puzzles, Chakra must live long enough to gather seven pieces of magic armor and use them to save the woman he loves.

Dark Horse – The village of Alda sits in the shadow of a broken fortress that most would rather forget existed. Within it lives an old man: an outcast, a sorcerer – someone the poor people of Alda would kill if he didn’t terrify them so. The Black Flux ravaged this region before, killing everyone whose lungs it filled with a deadly tar that could not be exhumed. Now the woman Chakra loves has it – and she will die of it.

Though he has signed to join the army in their march to the south, Chakra must break that vow and leave his friends to keep another: to save Melina. There is only one person to whom he can turn to save his love, the one person his village fears most.
