Tragon of Ramura
A fantasy novel about a quest for a magical amulet in a lost city.
The plot begins with a dream that compels Tragon of Ramura to act. He travels with Yusef Ahmed, his friend and bodyguard, to find a specific amulet. Their destination is Caiphar, a location marked by its loss and mystery. There they meet Sai-Ul-San, who holds religious authority over the Zoth-Amin cult. The acquisition of the Crimson Eye of Caiphar triggers a confrontation with an ancient evil. This force has waited a millennium to unleash a world-ending demon. The central conflict revolves around stopping this release or suffering eternal imprisonment in the Tower of Lost Souls.
The narrative draws on sword and sorcery traditions prevalent in mid-twentieth-century fantasy fiction. It utilizes archetypes of the heroic adventurer and the mysterious high priestess. The setting evokes a timeless, mythic past rather than a specific historical period. The themes reflect classic pulp adventure sensibilities found in early genre literature.
