Description
On the remote world of Tarvuli, the mighty Graaven Empire has fallen into ruin, destroyed by an alien force whose presence threatens cosmic balance.
Menkh Ab Dur, deposed Emperor, last and greatest Graaven general has fled the capital along with warriors of the Elite Imperial Guard and a mass of refugees, in an effort to escape the holocaust. Relentlessly pursued by those they have christened the Dorath Mar, Menkh himself is dying from a malignant growth. The Graaven race stands on the brink of annihilation.
Against all odds Menkh is aided by the symbiote, Crixac - harnessing the power of the City, a long-abandoned source of great energy. As unseen cosmic forces move, Menkh and Crixac journey on a quest to restore the crystal at the heart of the City.
The Dorath Mar must be defeated or the City and the secrets it contains will not just destroy the Graaven, but will be used as a weapon for the domination of all life.
Balance must be restored and it begins with Deviance.

Person
Robert C Littlewood was born in Catford in the Borough of Lewisham, London. He emigrated to Australia with his family arriving in 1964 initially in Perth, Western Australia. He went on to work in many different jobs before completing a Bachelor of Education and going on to be a Primary School teacher. After 15 years in the classroom he left to become a consultant in industrial relations and HR management.An accomplished classical singer, Robert was a chorus member and soloist in the 1990's with the West Australian Opera Company subsequently being billed as one of WA's leading operatic tenors. He still maintains an interest in singing and performs on the amateur stage now in his adopted home of Bunbury, Western Australia where he lives with his wife Marilyn.With a deep and abiding love for the genres of science fiction and fantasy, he decided, like one of his literary heroes, CS Lewis, that he wanted to write the kind of novel he would like to read himself.
