Varseth
iUniverse January 12, 2012
Authors: Malaka EL
Varseth is a tale about a young boy who is half Arean and half Nosfaru. His father, Lucius, is the Nosfaru
Lord of Murdeth and has taken away everything dear to Varseth, forcing him to hide from his father's
minions. However, Varseth strives to rid Lucius of his throne and bring peace back to the forsaken land of
Murdeth. Thus, he bands together with a Werec, a werewolf-like creature, and a Tigris, a female tiger, to help
him find the other Areans so he can take down his father's empire. With their help, as well as the aid of a
heavenly presence, Varseth vows to follow his pre-determined destiny.
