A God Asleep: A Fantasy Novel

and the hunt for a sleeping demigod that bound them together. The life of a squire is one part learning and one part suffering. Except in Veszil’s case, it’s ten parts of the latter; such is the price one pays when mentored by one of the most famous knights in the realm. But when the opportunity arises for a happier life, Veszil is willing to risk a life’s worth of training to get it. A legendary demigod cursed with eternal sleep for learning the gods’ language against their wishes. Veszil’s heard the story since childhood: speak your desires into the sleeping giant’s ear, and they shall manifest by the god-like power of his dreams. There’s just one catch, though: no one knows where the Dreamer rests. That is, until the holy Order of the Ancients found something buried in the mountains. One rumor and a hundred so-called dreamhunters flock to the nearest village to prepare for their descent. However, to cross into the Holosokkár mountains is to trespass on sacred ground—a defiance punishable by death.
