Mankato, MN Author Publishes Fantasy Novel

Deorum: The Morning Star, a new book by Benjamin Rathai, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Join the crew of the Morning Star as they explore the mysterious islands to the south of the empire in the world of Deorum, a world of magic, monsters, and machines. The former-smugglers-turned-explores find themselves in the middle of plots by the empire, a rouge general, a dwarven lord, and a mysterious figure only known as the lady in white.

The crew set out on a mission of exploration and stumble across trouble as they try to find their way through strange lands. They realize that they are the only ones who can defend the people from the advanced weapons brought by Argos and his followers from the empire, as they find unlikely allies and friends. The crew must fight to save the people of the islands and stop the former general from unleashing an ancient war machine capable of destroying the empire and sending the world into a devastating war.
