“The Ninth Avatar” is a novel written by Todd Newton. The novel is an epic fantasy in the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert Jordan. However, it is remarkable because of several new plot devices used by the author. Most notably, the book follows five independent storylines and begins in the middle of the narrative. The author is currently working on both a prequel and a sequel simultaneously. Also, the story is told from the point of view of both sides of a traditional good vs. evil conflict providing the reader with an Alfred Hitchcock-like omniscience. The book gained early praise from genre critics. The novel is published by Trapdoor Books, an imprint of Trapdoor Publishing. ==Plot summary== The following description is from the publisher's website: For Starka, an outcast priestess accused of incest, life is simple until a nightmare prophecy of the ascension of the Avatar of Darkness forces her to return to a world of intrigue and treachery. Pushed unwillingly into an epic journey with a priest who despises her, Starka finds allies in a mysterious warrior bent on protecting her, the last surviving members of two feuding nations, and a rebel wizard seeking revenge for his fallen comrades. Faced with the sweeping onslaught of the Carrion Army led by Zion and his three murderous generals, time is running out. With each battle, the ranks of the carrion swell with freshly killed recruits. New terrors are constructed from the heights of the Great Watchtower. Ancient enemies must band together, Starka must survive the assassins within her own order, and prophecy must somehow be stopped. The price of failure is absolute destruction. The Ninth Avatar is coming. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Ninth Avatar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
