The presentation of a novel is used to be done by its synopsis. This is a brief description of the topics covered by the book and some hints about the things that the reader will find in it. And because this is a blog devoted the novel Sails in the distance, it would be expected that the second post would include it. So, here is the synopsis of the novel:
The Republic of Hakol is dying. Another people started to invade it three centuries ago and the country has lost all the battles. About 150 years ago, the Hakol people's willpower broke. Almost the half part of the inhabitants left their land in the bitterest day that can be remembered in the Republic. The picture that still remains between those who stayed is the one of sails in the distance.
In that condemned country reduced to the third part of the territory that it ruled in the past, a young man, Loztu, receives from his father the axe that belonged to his family from several centuries ago. And, in that ceremony, he is granted permission for leaving his home and finding the location of those who had to leave. The only option is venturing at the other side of the Dyke, the last defence of the Republic, and boarding towards the mainland.
Unable of hiding his origin, Loztu will have to face the rejection of the people who ruined the Republic as he earns the money that he needs for his passage. And when he finds that his mission is more difficult than he expected, he will encounter a thief girl who will try to finish with his quest.
