Books with title Beyond the Black River

The stillness of the forest trail was so primeval that the tread of a soft-booted foot was a startling disturbance. At least it seemed so to the ears of the wayfarer, though he was moving along the path with the caution that must be practised by any man who ventures beyond Thunder River. He was a young man of medium height, with an open countenance and a mop of tousled tawny hair unconfined by cap or helmet. His garb was common enough for that country—a coarse tunic, belted at the waist, short leather breeches beneath, and soft buckskin boots that came short of the knee. A knife-hilt jutted from one boot-top. The broad leather belt supported a short, heavy sword and a buckskin pouch. There was no perturbation in the wide eyes that scanned the green walls which fringed the trail. Though not tall, he was well built, and the arms that the short wide sleeves of the tunic left bare were thick with corded muscle.

Sai Naveen’s life has been an anticipation of death. Raised in the soot covered city, it is the only thing promised. No parents. No safety. No hope. The poor girl thought that it couldn’t get any worse. Then it happened. Sai showed little concern towards the bodies suddenly appearing in the nearby river. She had learned to disconnect herself from the fragility of the human existence. But her plan of emotional removal is foiled when she finds herself drenched in the very blood that would tie her to the ring of murders. It stained her body just as her unknown presence would stain the town of Infern.

While attempting to survive another day, sixteen year old Sai Naveen finds herself tangled in a web of murder, love, and lies as death plagues the town. Sai Naveen’s life has been an anticipation of death. Raised in the soot covered city, it is the only thing promised. No parents. No safety. No hope. The poor girl thought that it couldn’t get any worse. Then it happened. Sai showed little concern towards the bodies suddenly appearing in the nearby river. She had learned to disconnect herself from the fragility of the human existence. But her plan of emotional removal is foiled when she finds herself drenched in the very blood that would tie her to the ring of murders. It stained her body just as her unknown presence would stain the town of Infern. It was the entity that spoke to her in the night, her conscience’s darkest creation that warned her of the deaths. He gave her a choice, a choice between the lives of those she despised or the condemnation of the only happiness life had to offer her. As simple as it seemed, even Sai’s pessimistic mind could not overcome her heart’s pure intentions. Was Sai capable of saving the very people who threw her and those she loved aside? Or would it all just go to hell? Beyond The River Styx is a story of the acceptance of imperfections, the struggles of life, and love’s ability to find its way in even the darkest of times.
