Publisher's summary

It is the first fictional book from The Rise of a King trilogy series.

The First Barbarian Slave focuses on Algor’s ancestor - Rofurmer "The First Barbarian Slave". The trilogy draws inspiration from some of the cultural practices found within Greek mythology, ancient Egyptians, and the three main Semitic religions. The three main characters are Rofurmer, BormAAr, and Koronus. But it is predominately centered around Rofurmer. Rofurmer is the soon to be The King of The Barbarians who remains religiously impartial. Even though he does not accept the gods of his enslavers, he is susceptible to accepting a new way - provided that his people are safe and free from harm. He is a man who is strongly against severing family ties and breaking away from customs. Rofurmer's extreme passion for freedom frequently encourages his temper to shorten. And therefore, this is played on by his enemies. One of these "enemies" is Koronus.

Koronus' lust for power and dominance fuels his unpredictable nature. Koronus finds it difficult to accept failure, and so, he would do whatever it takes to cover his mistakes. Even if it means silencing those who threaten his leadership. Lastly, BormAAr seems to be the one who grounds him (Rofurmer). She is a woman who sides with justice (or what she believes it to be). She would risk anything and everything in-order to protect those whom she holds dear. However, sometimes the disease of her heart forces her to separate mercy from judgement. And so, this makes her come across like those who lack empathy. All three characters are blinded by the idea that everything that they are doing is right and for the greater good. Each choice they make as a profound effect on others that surround them. Their complex character profiles, decisions, and motivational salience are black and white. And this is a true representation that depicts the very real struggles we all have with faith, duty, and self.
