About this ebook
Ilia's life is saved by a scarred old man in dirty clothes. In the frozen slums of Gretta, such kindness is strange, especially towards an abandoned slave. Little does the boy know that he has crossed paths with a manipulator of destiny's very strings, one who could hand out good or evil at the drop of his short-brimmed gray hat. What does Old Man Spider have in store for Ilia?

Writings like these, they're what is called symbolic fantasy. middle earth or the underdark, they aren't like our own countries. Yet they carry uncanny similarities, and so you end up taking much more with you than just a story, once you put a book down.I'd say Drizzt Do'Urden would make a good philosopher in our own world. This is the kind of book I strive to write, without sounding too preachy. After all, I might end up having no idea what I'm talking about. Worse yet, I may be a horrible writer. That is not for me to judge. A memorable character's sentance comes to mind, "only 1% of prospective writers are authors. the rest are gamblers until they get published." Not much in this passage counts as a personal bio. hmm. I studied english, live in a quiet enough town, and have learnt to appreciate a good mug of coffee. There.
