Dethalissicus (The Parting of Worlds) is by far, one of the best fantastic books ever written!
Dethalissicus, or Dethas is a force to reckon with.
Unlike many ebooks, it’s actually a novel, and is worth much more than the spare change that some of them cost.
I am left wondering how an individual who suffered so much loss and endured too many partings can bring together worlds torn apart. One can only hope for a sequel.
I could not say that all went well and happy in the end — it was more of a “how things were meant to be” moment. Moreover, the ending of this exceptional chronicle marks the beginning of a more profound mission.
protagonist Dethas recounts a life of adversity set in Roman Britain and Hibernia.

Dethalissicus daily quote
We call him ‘father,’ for he has ruled long and he knows nearly every person in his kingdom. He has seen many generations pass before him; he has seen terrible wars and hard famines. He has seen many springs and many happy days as well, days of celebration and victory. When Cruithne dies, his seven sons will do the best they can to continue his great reign, though times are becoming harder, and I do not think that any can rule better than Cruithne has.
