Leruth: Entwined Destinies
Some stories are too special not to be shared with the world. Some coincidences are too obvious not to be considered destiny. In a small town, in a small world, somewhere in the universe, live six Leruthians with the greatest and most powerful ability ever created in the history of any fantasy universe: the ability to control their own destiny.
In Leruth, due to decisions and actions considered dubious by some, villains and heroes can be determined by the reader.
Or perhaps it’s better to say that every living being is a bit of their own hero and villain?
In any case, this world is an invitation to the collective imagination woven by thousands of other fantasy worlds, which only truly comes to life when each line of this imaginary universe is shared by the desires of those who give life to fantasy: the readers.
Filled with flaws, frustrations, joy, impulsiveness, fear, and ambition, each character in this narrative fights every day to survive their own destiny. But not without enjoying the entire process. Because after all, that’s what really makes life worth living, isn’t it?
To every reader: on a Wednesday evening, around 9:00 PM, three friends decided to play an RPG using a system that the game master had created himself. From these sessions, many critical failures resulted in flying ice pigeons, failed attempts at seducing kings, bards failing to distract crowds so their friends could do mischief, and extremely frustrating final battles. But not just that: many critical successes also came from those nights of gaming.
This book is the first in the Leruth series, where the story of how six characters made their decisions to deal with what seemed to be destiny is told. It is not a fairy tale where heroes are benevolent and kind all the time, or where villains have the simple desire to dominate the world. Leruth is a complex world where the reader can draw their own conclusions about who is right or wrong in this narrative.
Based on a real RPG narrative created by people from contemporary times, this novel may contain strong language, scenes of brutal violence, and moral dilemmas about right and wrong. But above all, Leruth is a world full of fantasy, mystical beings, dungeons, betrayals, magic, romances, and bloody battles.
Because a story, to become truly free and alive, must be given to the collective imagination.
This book is your ticket to a new world full of characters much like some of your own. Those that you create in your mind, bringing you joy in your most intimate moments.
Leruth is a cry of freedom for a generation of imaginative readers.
