The Freedom Fighter, written by first time author Daniel Gelinske, is our introduction into a brand new world, called Tirlannon: a vast and ancient realm that is rich in detail, full of energy and entertaining in its sheer bravado. It’s the story of how a lone warrior finds his destiny and rallies his people to freedom. It has more than its share of magic, mysticism and sinister villains. And the best part? This is just the tip of the iceberg.
The Freedom Fighter is but the first book in an epic saga that will tie together myth and legend with science and fiction in a way that no other saga has done before.
This is the story of Daecrynn Tuvitor, a Taergeni Elf about to confront his own destiny as warrior, a romantic, and a leader. His journey will take him out of the “comforts” of his refugee foster family, and place him completely in the midst of the great political storms of his time. In many ways, he is the ideal hero. His prowess as a hunter and a fighter are balanced by a youth and vigor, and by a quick wit, sharp tongue, and uncanny sense of humor.
After finding the legendary blade, Oro’quiel, Daecrynn embarks on his quest to rally his subjugated people against the oppressive Madroceans – a race of humans who had conquered the Taergeni Elves when Daecrynn was still just a small child. Their crimes against the Elves are many. But all of that is about to change. With the rise of a leader, a young man who was destined to lead their people, the Taergeni Elves take the first coordinated steps toward freedom. The battles they fight range from the deeply personal to the profoundly epic. And by the time the dust settles, their homeland of Tarligean is once again under their control.
