The Order: The Tale Of The Sabor Guardians is a terrific spin on life, death and the never ending cycle of Evil against Good, and one young man's journey to deal with the gravity of them both. The confused and reluctant be hero of the Tale is one Sabor Lindon, a spoiled, somewhat uncentered young man who on his twenty-second birthday deals with a blanket of strife - only to find more pain is yet to come. The Tale chronicles the steps the reluctant Lindon takes along the way to overcome his newfound responsibilities. An evil being, Dvanken, an unholy wretch born of murder and sustained by humanity's suffering, remains unknown to all of mankind, save The Order. He roams, devouring the loathing and fear residing in humanity and his hunger stands unrelenting. A series of twists and turns bring Good and Evil full circle to duel until the finish. One will stand. One will claim victory. One will perish! "The author of The Order paints a vivid picture which allows you to enter into a new world, a world which will amaze and fascinate you, as he introduces you to the world and the inhabitants of The Order." - Bev Whittingham, author of Sunrise "This talented and imaginative young author invents his own dimension within our own. Sabor Guardians commit terrifying acts of heroism to fight an enormous terror, plaguing the earth. The terror known as Dvanken." - Debra Moore
