Author Biography

With a Master's degree in Political Science, specializing in Law and Security, I bring years of experience in writing across a spectrum of subjects, including legislative matters, legal issues, politics, geopolitics, philosophy, and literature. However, my journey as a writer was deeply rooted in my long-standing passion for fiction. As a dedicated fan of fiction for many years, I've immersed myself in countless books and stories, nurturing my love for the written word.

Writing poems and crafting short stories had been more than just a hobby; it was a cherished pastime that allowed me to explore my creative side and escape into imaginary worlds. Over time, this passion evolved into a significant project: my debut novel, 'Lost Souls,' which serves as the first installment of the fantasy series 'The Tale of Darkness and The Tale of Light.'

Creating this novel demanded an immense amount of effort and dedication, coupled with years of study and refinement, to ensure it would be a high-quality work with captivating content for readers to enjoy. It has been a project fueled by my passion and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.

I sincerely hope you find 'Lost Souls' engaging and that it sparks your imagination as much as it did mine. Your support and feedback are invaluable to me.

Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

The Tale Of Darkness & The Tale Of Light: Lost Souls is a work of fiction in the fantasy, interpersonal drama, and psychological drama subgenres. Penned by author Zocerr, it is best suited to the general adult reading audience for its complex and occasionally dark themes. This inaugural installment of a new series unfolds a grand fantasy saga in the mystical realm of Alamet. The narrative follows Blanco, a courageous dwarf from the Agzam clan, renowned for their strength and unique ability to forge weapons from dreams. Readers are invited to enjoy a mesmerizing journey into a world where giants reign, and diverse inhabitants yearn for freedom beneath their colossal shadows. Blanco's odyssey transforms from a struggle for survival into a profound quest for truth, navigating through shifting alliances and emerging rebellions amid Alamet's power struggles.

Author Zocerr has crafted a narrative that goes beyond the ordinary conventions of fantasy, delving into the intricacies of moral ambiguity and the complexities of war and power with sharp observational skills and psychological prowess. The character of Blanco emerges not just as a hero but as a symbol of hope, resilience, and the capacity to redefine one's destiny. He is treated with an intensely close narrative skill that allows readers an intimate portrayal of his psyche and turmoil. As the tale unfolds, it becomes a compelling exploration of bravery and self-discovery, moving at a well-balanced pace that gives you bursts of action interspersed with emotive, reflective moments. Zocerr's storytelling prowess shines in creating a world that is both enchanting and complex, inviting readers to unravel Alamet's many secrets alongside Blanco. The darker moments are well-handled and never played for pure shock value. Overall, I would certainly recommend Lost Souls as a thought-provoking, exciting, and well-penned fantasy piece, and I can’t wait to see what more the series has in store for us.
