“Edafos” by Howard OA Jones gets a new book trailer

Edafos touches on themes such as courage, displacement, loss, and conscience. Written by Howard O.A. Jones, the novel tells the story of Cardia, one of the many continents in the realm of Edafos – which has been peaceful after 300 Years of War marked by clashes over land ownership started by the god-like beings called Divines.

For a little more than a hundred years, peace dominated the land, but not without unimaginable pain and suffering first. The state of order is now being jeopardized as corrupt Kings and religious struggles arise, and one boy has to conquer Cardia by going against the ideals of his own people. He forges his way across the land, coming at odds with many trials.

Howard’s chief literary influence is John Flanagan, author of the Ranger’s Apprentice series. Flanagan’s way of writing fantasy novels combined with some degree of realism is what particularly piques Howard’s interest.
