Reseña del libro "A New Order: Book 1 - Purity Series (en Inglés)"
There is an ancient prophecy. A long forgotten legend from a distant land... 'When brother turns on brother and innovation lays waste to the world, after the last straw has fallen and when all seems lost, there will or will not be a seed of reason. But if it be, it will be the boy of bad blood with Purity. And by his hand, the seed will nourish thought, and there will be balance.' For too long, the warlords had mercilessly enforced their brutality on the world. For too long, the people had suffered their wrath and done their will. It was a time ripe for change when Rezden, champion of the underdog came forward with his visionary plan for a New Order. Meanwhile Arelaz, warlord of the Northern Territories is a benevolent dictator and a wise man. He has seen the signs, and gives Rezden's New Order his blessing. And the city which will rise from the ruins of the Immortals, will be Horizen. Inspired by Arelaz and Maxmillion Grace, his close friend and partner, and attracted by the promise of a new beginning and life, the people come. The city swells and flourishes, and both Arelaz and Max fall in love and take wives. Life in Horizen is perfect. Filled with love, joy and prosperity. When the wives discover they are with child, a dark secret falls between Rezden and Sarah his wife, sister to Arelaz the warlord. A secret which also clouds the relationship between Rezden and Max, and impacts on Rezden's future relationship with both his unborn son Gradlock, and Horizen, the megacity he is creating. Gradlock grows into a man. An evil man of no conscience, and when Rezden dies under strange circumstances, Gradlock becomes his obvious successor. And soon thereafter, trolls arrive to enforce his will, and the people of Horizen discover once more, that not all men stand equal. In the farmlands surrounding Horizen where Joss and his family live, the rains have disappeared, the sun is cloaked by a growing fog and the lands lie dry and fallow. Soon Joss will need to make the decision every farmer dreads: to trust in the gods and possibly die of starvation, or leave his precious lands, take his family and what they can carry, and head for Horizen the megacity, the dreaded domain of Gradlock. His decision will decide the destiny, not only of himself and his family, but also of all - because the world is in chaos and people are uneasy. Many think all is lost. But there is an ancient legend about a boy with bad blood who carries the seed of reason, and with it, salvation. ...Gilbert, the son of Joss has bad blood, and his adopted sister found abandoned in the forest had a mysterious note attached to her manger, 'My name is Purity, treat me with love.' Could it be the day of the legend has dawned? Purity is an epic tale told in two books spanning five generations. A fantasy tale with many simple parables about honour, love, life and living, which might be relevant to life in our modern world today.
