Blurb:
In the beginning, a peaceful race of giants populated the world of Dumah.
One day, however, a sylphid, a spirit from the stars, came down from the heavens to deliver a dreadful prophecy: “A new race of beings, called men, will one day dethrone the giants and destroy them.”

Ironcraft (Chronicles of Dumah): Deep and imaginative
Pedro Gabriel has crafted a legendarium that is both familiar and strange. He introduces us to a world filled with weird and wonderful creatures, and varieties of characters from sylphs to Pharaohs to magicians.After one reading of the book, I'm still trying to grapple with what I've finished. His mythic world is a nod to his literary heroes, like Tolkein, but also rugged with the dark epic tones of Greek myth, and the seeming whimsy of fairy tales. The style echoes great literary epics, so it feels almost Biblical. And saying that, there's a very real sense that this is an ancient fantasy epic set in the deep past of human history. It feels like high fantasy, replete with Hebrewish names and hints of ancient gods and places. We find themes that echo out of the gaps in our own human story. Expect to enjoy a narrative that sees all of reality as deeply sacred and deeply damned, where living beings thread their way through wonder and war as playthings of the gods or forgers of their own freedom.
