Abramm has dedicated the last eight years of his life to becoming worthy to touch and tend the Sacred Flames of Eidon, and he expects to be blessed for his devotion and sacrifice. But on the eve of taking the vows that will irrevocably separate him from the life he was born to—as Abramm Kalladorne, fifth son of the king of Kiriath—he is betrayed by his spiritual mentor and sold into slavery by his brothers.

Swept along by the winds of a new destiny, Abramm is forced to compete as a gladiator. When the oppressed masses rally around his success, he discovers his suffering has molded him into something greater than he ever thought possible—to serve a purpose he never imagined.

Set in a world of swords and cloaks, of glittering palaces and mystical temples, of galley ships and ancient mist-bound cities, The Light of Eidon is the first volume of an epic series, Legends of the Guardian-King.

Critic reviews

“The future should be bright for this promising novelist.”
- Publishers Weekly
“An exciting allegorical fantasy . . . Hancock’s writing, often eerie and suspenseful, is rich in sights, smells and sounds.”
- Christian Retailing
“A Christian allegory crisscrossed with subplots and deceit . . . Readers will certainly return for the second installment.”
-Booklist
“Karen Hancock has a gift for creating believable characters on harrowing spiritual quests. This adventure takes place in an imagined history that is sometimes eerie and foreign, sometimes startlingly familiar, but always thought-provoking. Plainly, this is the first book in a major new series.”
— Kathy Tyers, author of the Firebird trilogy and Star Wars: Balance Point (Kathy Tyers)
“Karen Hancock fits that small niche reserved for today’s finest novelists as she implants solid truth into words with which I can identify, words that fascinate and cut to the heart. Light of Eidon is far more than a novel of fantasy or allegory—it is a word picture of the ancient struggle between light and darkness.”
— Hannah Alexander, author of Urgent Care and The Crystal Cavern (Hannah Alexander)
