The song of Anthos. Prelude. Empire

Review of the book “La cantiga de Anthos. Prelude. Empire”, by Óscar Eslava

Readers, I bring you a review of a new release from the publisher Books and Literature which will especially appeal to lovers of fantasy and adventure books. A novel by Óscar Eslava, very original in form and content that will captivate you from the first pages in this rich and different universe that the author recreates in this story. And the thing is, if something characterizes this book, it is that world in which we immerse ourselves and that manages to take us to it without hardly realizing it. A joy of travel, believe me.

Two million souls lived in Thang, the capital of the great and dazzling empire of Thaner. There, capricious destiny wants the son of a servant and the daughter of an exile to inexorably cross paths forever. Élzig and Khérmer are secretly having a romance and will soon begin to make plans for the future together. However, once again that destiny that wanted to unite them comes to separate them in the worst and bloodiest way. Their souls, united in a unique connection, must then part, although, deep down, they both know it won’t be easy.

Eight years after that tragic separation, Élzig decides that the time has come to reunite with his childhood sweetheart and, to do so, he embarks on an uncertain destiny that he hopes will lead him to the embraces of that love that he could never forget.

At the same time, a shadow hangs over the empire. An ancient enemy is preparing to launch his conquest, regardless of who he is. Amid this chaos that little by little begins to unfold, the two young people find their place on either side. Nothing is as it used to be, both have changed and, although that childhood love is still latent in their hearts, this time destiny will have other setbacks and totally different interests in store for them.

While both continue on their way, a magician astronomer discovers, among the stars, an object that, when passing, seems to eclipse them. It is the sign that the darkness that they have not seen for so long is slowly but inevitably approaching their lives.

The song of Anthos. Prelude. Empire It immerses us in a world in which nothing is what it seems. A journey full of betrayals, love, fights, searches, special beings and a threat that promises to change everything as it has been known until then.

With an exquisite literary quality and the fantasy with which he permeates this delicious story, Óscar Eslava promises us a journey full of adventure and action from which it is very difficult to emerge unscathed. Once you enter the empire of Tháner, you will be seduced by this unique story that, as I told you at the beginning of the review, manages to captivate you from the beginning.
