Gothic Dark Tale by Kalòs follows the journey of Seneslaus, beginning with the tragic history of Diurpanus, who betrayed and lost everything in his pursuit of power, leading to his vengeful transformation. Seneslaus, raised in seclusion by Deceneus, learns about history, philosophy, and the natural world. Over time, Seneslaus tries to reconcile his personal guilt, emotional isolation, and the weight of his father’s past, including a dark pact. Seneslaus’s journey takes him through multiple cities and cultures, where he faces a gauntlet of suffering. He seeks redemption in the creation of a peaceful society, away from violence and greed. However, his issues continue, including a tragic love affair with Leandro that leads to devastating consequences. It is not the first, nor the last. Seneslaus continues in his search for purpose, forgiveness, and, ultimately, peace.

“You have achieved a feat that is insurmountable for almost all human beings.” Gothic Dark Tale: The Legend of Voyager by Kalòs is a literary fiction novel brimming with prose that draws readers into what genuinely feels like a Greek tragedy written anew. Every landscape, from the warm sand of the Frisian Sea to the mystical gardens of Babil, is textured and alive, allowing readers to linger in the story’s settings as more than mere backdrops. I liked the symbolism, such as a wolf that is incredibly important, serving as a metaphor for guidance, fate, and spiritual enlightenment. The inclusion of creation, evolution, and interconnectedness, punctuated by time-traveling and even spacecraft, challenge the boundaries of the physical. Overall, Seneslaus’s resolution toward grief, remorse, and quest for atonement turns this epic tale into a meditative look into the human condition.

Gothic Dark Tale: The Legend of Voyager by Kalòs takes readers on an epic journey through time, delving into themes of destiny, love, power, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. The story focuses on Seneslaus Iulius Taranis, a man cursed with an unnaturally long life due to his father's treacherous deal with the dark force, Asmodeus. With the guidance of his mentor, Deceneus, a wise figure from Atlantis, Seneslaus navigates a world rich in both historical and mythical landscapes. This novel blends spiritual quests with intense personal struggles as Seneslaus seeks redemption and love while wrestling with the heavy burden of his curse. It paints striking scenes of ancient civilizations and interweaves philosophical reflections with mystical elements, all while highlighting humanity's capacity for destruction and renewal.

I found Gothic Dark Tale: The Legend of Voyager to be an ambitious and thought-provoking story, full of depth and complexity. The intricate plot demands attention to fully appreciate the layers of mythology, history, and philosophy that Kalòs skillfully intertwines throughout the narrative. The pacing, while deliberate, fits perfectly with the sprawling timeline and epic scope of the tale. The characters, especially Seneslaus and his loyal companion Fu'Ad, are vividly developed, embodying symbolic significance that enhances the novel's impact. Themes of love, power, and redemption are explored with care. Despite the use of literary language and complex messages, I found it a compelling read. The illustrations and the font types blend well with the story and the settings. Also, the imaginative scenarios and historical overlaps keep the story engaging. Gothic Dark Tale lingers in the reader's mind, prompting reflection long after the last page, and it is likely to resonate with readers who relish deeply philosophical, genre-defying narratives.
