Blurb

In three days, Jyosh will slay the God Emperor, or die trying.

But first he must train his lightblade skills. While asleep. Each hour of sleep equals a day in a lucid dream, plenty of time to master the essential lightblade techniques and hopefully get skilled enough to defeat the monster who enslaved him and beheaded his parents and sister.

When Jyosh awakens to learn that the God Emperor has surrendered to an even crueler foe, a mysterious lightblade master who can summon divine dragons to burn whole cities, he’ll face a trial by fire against forces far more frightening than he could ever dream.

That is, if he’s not still in one.

Star Wars meets The Matrix in this progression fantasy adventure inspired by Indian and Persian mythology, featuring dragon gods, energy sword duels, ancient floating cities, and shared dream exploration.

Perfect for fans of Cradle and The Rage of Dragons

Editorial Reviews

“A relentless, action-packed psychedelic thrill ride, set in a world where no one and nothing can be trusted ― not even your own mind. Give it a shot. It was an absolute blast!”
― John Bierce, author of Mage Errant

“I loved Lightblade! Be it the compelling characters, the vivid prose, or the deep, mystical world that lets the story breathe… this is a beautifully written, thrilling fantasy adventure!”
― Davis Ashura, author of Instrument of Omens

“A riveting start to what promises to be an exciting new series. Discovering all of the book’s secrets is like diving into deeper and deeper layers of dreams, and I didn’t want to wake up.”
― Travis Riddle, author of Jekua

“The story was amazing… the world building was phenomenal… there were so many incredible fights. I absolutely loved this!”
― Wolfmantula

About the Author

When Zamil was fourteen, he moved from the dry, dune-spotted Arabian peninsula to the hilly, arctic wasteland that is Western Massachusetts. He despises the cold, isn’t very fond of the sun, and prefers spending all day indoors mashing the keyboard in the hopes something great will come of it. When not dreaming up dark and fantastical journeys, he enjoys binging horror movies, wasting precious time arguing about international relations on Reddit, and occasionally traveling somewhere exotic. He currently lives in Dubai with his loving wife and his badly-behaved pet rabbit.
