I am writing a novel called "Tharok". It is written in swedish so a translation needs to be done for international spread. I hope my book will be read all over the world. Because the world I am describing is like our world, but still very different. There is politics, war, religion, spirituality and of course some love stories in it. One of the main characters is Aaron, who lives i the land of Theonia, in the capitol city Kaizrah. The people of Theonia has wings, but they are not ghosts, they have bodies of flesh and blood. I will not describe more right now, because I think I will make an international page written in english when the book starts to be ready for publishing.

 

Here is an excerpt from chapter 6, called "The Black Island":

 

The evening came and the moon lit up the sea and the boat. Aaron went out on deck to enjoy the 
moment and saw Magambe leaning against the railing. The two young men stood next to each other 
and watched the shining ball in the sky in silence. Only the crackling of the wood in the boat was 
heard. Then Aaron said,
"It's so calm and beautiful!"
“Mm. It's hard to believe that there is a war going on. " replied Magambe.
"Did you know that it is said that a people live here underwater? And that we are all descended from 
them? ”
"No, is that true? How do you know that? ”
“Academics have collected artifacts and writings that speak of them. It was my brother Zak who told 
me that ”.
"Maybe they hear us now?" said Magambe, leaning forward over the railing to look at the water. He 
stood silent for a long time, trying to see if he could detect any sign of life from the water people, but
 gave up after a while when he saw nothing special, only sea water, deep sea water. After a moment
 of silence, he looked at Aaron's wings and asked:
"How does it really feel to fly?"
"Would you like to try?" Aaron laughed, sticking his arms under Magambe's armpits and crossing his
 forearms in a firm grip on the man's chest.
