Working Title: Legend of Five
A mysterious Void is consuming the land of Besh, leaving nothing behind, not even death. When Barak, an apprentice wizard, is unable to convince his mentors of the threat, he sets out across the continent to solve the problem himself.
Soon, four unlikely heroes join him on his quest: Paz, a nomad whose entire tribe was devoured by the Void; Malka, an abandoned fighter estranged from her noble family; Shiri, a “child of the stars” whose magic allows her to hear the voices of all creation; and Lior, a tiny thief under a terrible curse.
Told in a rotating first-person perspective, Legend of 5 is a Dungeons & Dragons-style fantasy novel which follows five queer Jewish adults as they explore their world, overcome challenges, and find hope and family in each other.
