The epic series begins in Rise of Talus
when a prince discovers his
world has been turned upside down. His father has robbed him of his
birthright
and plans to have him murdered to ensure another’s succession. Through a
mystic
named Lacunae, Talus befriends The Darkness in order to survive. The
conspiracy
deepens as the prince learns that the God of his father has manipulated
theking since his birth. In his desire to ascertain the truth, Talus
learns that
he is part of a plan to reveal The One for what it truly is and for that
hemust die. Talus sees himself as the savior of man justifying his
actions inorder to free man from God’s tyranny. His quest is to enter
the heavens and
confront the being that is bent on his demise.
The story continues in the Four Strangers when the prophecy involving
adolescents from South Portland, Maine begins. Lost, they seek a way back home
and their allegiance is only to that end. As they search for a way back to the
Polar Caves, they become involved with those opposing and defending God itself.
Their destiny has been foretold and so those surrounding them seek to either
have them fulfill their fate or be killed in order to prevent them from doing
so. Do they trust Talus (The King of Atresia) or Teller (The spiritual Leader
of Galea)? Do they trust The One or The Darkness that seeks The One’s
destruction? Through the ordeal they learn about themselves and the true
meaning behind their journey and the red door.
Much like C.S. Lewis did with The Chronicles of Narnia,
Verdelli will capture readers’ imaginations instantly with the first
chapter and compel them to join him on the fantastical journey that is the TELLER’S
TALE and await each new title with excited anticipation.
