Spirit of Orn

In Spirit of Orn, the cycles of human experience turn again as history repeats itself in the post-apocalyptic future. Centuries after the events that led to global ruin and the decimation of human civilization, almost everything about the former world has been forgotten-even that which led to its destruction. Now, as city states struggle for survival, merciless and ambitious men cloaked in ignorance seize power, rule with fear, and lead the people to war. Cowardice, redemption, and the search of self are all in play as Conn a twice bereaved, depressive blacksmith navigates an unknown world to find a runaway boy with a party of deeply scarred strangers. On his journey, Conn is confronted with the atrocities of human history and must find a reason for life and hope in spite of the despair, cruelty, and absurdity of existence. Set in Scandinavia and the North Atlantic, Warren pays homage to the cultures and manners of the Nordic people with an extraordinary attention to detail. Take my invitation and enter the world of Orn, get lost in its wild lands, and discover that the despair of life may be the strongest proof of its meaning.
