And Taurana-Nhane, a young boy from a tribal island culture, must face his destiny head-on in a most confusing way. For as is custom, he and his friends must go to the Kingdom of Lydia, which colonized Taus island home, to be taught about war and fighting. As Taurana embarks on his journey to adulthood, as he goes off to Lydias cruel and extensive warrior program, he will meet people who represent ideas conflicting with his own peoples reverence for fate and destiny. For the Lydians believe that man is the maker of his own destiny. And when Taurana befriends Draes, prince of Lydia, Taurana begins to adopt the Lydian attitude of a life free from the domain of destinythat is, until he goes to Lydia, where he meets a girl who will in fact bind him to that destiny, which he was just beginning to doubt. Caught now between the political frustrations of a foreign kingdom, doubted now by his own native friends who are weary of him, uncertain now of the way he should go, he must decide what to doto submit to the will of the spirits or to make his own fate. But destiny is too binding, and its two closest allies, time and love, are equally as powerful.

Download or read book Random Thoughts written by Vandana Sinha and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book RANDOM THOUGHTS is a compilation of write-ups, on those aspects of life I have felt and feel strongly about. Nostalgic reflections as I move down memory lane, reminiscing about the bygone days, sometimes with childish glee, sometimes with remorse and at other times with a hopeful hope. The writings likewise are a smooth blend of the past merging into the present and vice-versa. I write with candour, which most oft than not verges on to bluntness since I write straight from the heart, a sort of umbilical connect betwixt my thoughts and words. Words have an intangible power of coming alive, like a painting on a canvas, making the reader get lost amidst their folds. Random Thoughts I hope will give respite to the readers from the day-to-day stresses of life as they will traverse through the journey of my life with a keen involvement and interest. The writings were penned betwixt May 2012 and March 2014. Thank you.
