Prepare to enter a secluded enclave where all borders end: a land called Ugh. With unforgiving landscape and unyielding people, Ugh provides the backdrop for an incredible tale of courage and love.



The story focuses on a young man’s journey to prevent an invasion plotted by Ugh’s nefarious leaders. Opening with Jor, a young man yearning to discover the world outside of the stables where he lives and works. Jor is set out on an ostrich across Ugh to meet the invading king and turn him away. On the journey, Jor discovers that the ostrich he rides is an ancient, wise and bitter spirit named Kaw who has given up on humans after watching so many kill and be killed by each other. Quickly captured by Sooth, a young tribal woman, Jor convinces her to escort him to the edge of Ugh.



Sooth, who initially despises Jor because of his inexperience and naivety, begins to admire him as other warriors who join the group. Each one is from a different side of the coming invasion but all unite behind Jor to prevent it, even the bitter Kaw. As he journeys forward, Jor sees firsthand what is left out of the histories—the gruesome toll that war takes on the human spirit. Sooth and Jor unknowingly discover what powers humanity through these troubling times, the power of love. Jor’s naïve positive attitude compels the group forward to stop the diabolically planned war. If they fail the countryside will be torn apart by violence and more of Ugh’s tears will be cried.



This is Tears of Ugh in its entirety. It is Book I in the Saga of Tears. If you want to experience a new world, that is not a repeat of the same Fantasy and Young Adult formula with creative and fresh voices then download and read this book.



I cannot wait to share this world with you. I look forward to our journey together.
