A missing king. An ancient monster. One son must rise up to save their planet.

Planet K’Tara, 5000 AD. High Prince Aithen thought he had years of freedom before he’d have to take the throne. But when his father fails to return from a secret mission, the prince must learn the ropes quickly before a long-forgotten creature destroys the kingdom. And that terrifying monster is just a harbinger of what’s to come…

While his younger brother searches for the missing king, Aithen must move his people to safety and prepare for battle. As he uncovers the truth of things, the prince fears he may have to go to war with a god himself, and with the help of the mystical Elyana, a member of the Sisterhood of Light, he works to gather answers before the enemy strikes again. If he fails, death will meet him, those he loves, and his people…

Forebodings is the first book in the exhilarating Conquerors of K’Tara fantasy series. If you like ancient gods, nightmarish monsters, and imaginative storytelling that blurs the line between fantasy and science fiction, then you’ll love L.A. Di Paolo’s out-of-this-world novel.

Note that the novel is not an action-packed adventure, that is, there is not action in every chapter. That is because the novel is meant to explore the humans of the K’Taran universe, meaning that it explores their political, sociological, religious and technological aspects, and as such it has both action scenes/chapters as well as scenes/chapters that are more descriptive and meant to unveil important aspects of the heroes and villains or of the societies that drive or constrain them on their journeys. But most who have read have enjoyed the pace. My hope is you will too.

AMAZON REVIEW
Barbara A
I loved the world DiPaolo created in the fantasy part of the novel. The culture is rich and somehow fantastical while also being believable. In terms of the sci-fi element, I believe I see what he’s setting up and I’m looking forward to how the story will develop, but I would have liked him to dip into this world a few more times in the course of the book in order to establish the link more firmly. Definitely looking forward to book 2!
