At the dawn of time, there was Yi - A vast universe, begotten of the concordant light of the Udar, divine beings beyond all imagination. Yet over the infinities of their existence, treachery grew from their midst. Oth, Lord of Chaos, turned against his siblings and sowed discord where once harmony held sway. His shadow lay heaviest upon Ithrum, the blue-green planet of his sister Alomne, which suffered the most beneath his creatures. After countless ages, in the Golden Age, the warrior Thion and his men were entrusted with a secret mission - one that could change the fate of humans, dwarves, and countless other beings for the better. Yet the ways of the gods are treacherous, and so Thion does not become the Finder; rather, he himself is found - by a fragment of the captured divine light: a lumen. Hunted by the creatures of Oth, tested by the forces of the old world, Thion stands at a crossroads: shall he become a tool of the lumen, or shall he escape - and with him, Ithrum from its dark fate? An epic fantasy that intertwines the birth of the world with the last great battle. Eternal gods, crumbling alliances, and the lingering echo of a betrayal that never faded. This book is for readers who cherish the atmosphere of works such as The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion (J.R.R. Tolkien), The Odyssey (Homer), and A Message from the Emperor (Franz Kafka). This is its essence: epic fantasy, myths, magic, gods, dark forces, friendship, treachery, absurdity, boundlessness. The writings of the series Yi - Sagas and Myths are part of the Open Yi Project, where co-authors may help shape the Yi universe.
