The End of the Kai of the Dark Legacy Cycle details the violent end of the Kai Order — an ancient, spiritual guild of warrior guardians and priestesses who have sworn their lives to protect the Oracle Queen of Atlantis — at the hands of Maniok, the being referred to as the “Great Evil” in the age-old Song of the Oracle King.

It is a chronicle of Arkan, the last Kai guardian, and his desperate attempt to save the life of his priestess who carries his unborn son, and his escape from Atlantis.

Book I — Trinity is the story of Kieko, a lonely Lemurian boy of mixed blood who seeks to know more about his absent father's mysterious Atlantean past. Constantly bullied by Aiko, he eventually takes refuge with the village priest in the Kadek Temple where he studies medicinal and culinary arts, calligraphy, and ultimately, the art of Ki sword. Under the tutelage of the priest he comes to know the grim truth about his father, and is prepared to face the horrific assault of the armies of the Atlantean Empire upon his humble world.

And this is just the beginning . . .

    🎯Worthwhile

    Right off the bat, the story (more like a short story leading to the wider world of Trinity in the series) reminded me of Dune by Frank Herbert. I was immediately drawn in by the epic fantasy prose, but there was a tremendous amount of detail in describing a megapolis city, its details, and those within it ... and there was a point of view that kept changing from dove, to a street kid, to a crow, and so on. Although a bit difficult to get used to it was interesting to follow this changing perspective, an unusual literary technique.

    Luckily, this unusual literary style settles down and shifts to simple straight forward story telling in the Trinity book of the series. Although The End of the Kai may not seem to have much to do with the story of Trinity, it does provide an understanding of what Shinsei reveals to Kieko about his father at the end of Trinity.
