Portents of a Weeping World — David Crawford

A farmer is called on a quest with a traveller to seek out an aberrance that has impoverished the surrounding kingdoms. Though he is but a farmer, his true value is seen by only the wisest, and rejected by all others. On this journey, the leaders and kings of his time are all that stand before a free world, and an uncertain fate.

Never using the words "Like" or "As" in the book, Portents of a Weeping World focuses predominantly on the powerful metaphor to describe the fantastic, exotic world of which the story takes place. Derived from older English and combined with the absolute best of modern language, Portents of a Weeping World will take your imagination and grow a tale of journey and beauty, and of struggle and war.
