The Heart of the Labyrinth
Fantasy Adventure
In the heart of the Labyrinth of
Varissen, there dwells a beast known only as the
Devourer. However, the Devourer is sick of eating
adventurers, and he suspects that once, long ago, he
bore another name. So when a young woman arrives,
declaring that she’s here to rescue him, the
Devourer persuades her to join him on a search for
his forgotten past.
"A wonderful foray
into the fantastic. Unusual, unpredictable and
highly entertaining."

The Student Review
"Simply incredible.
How DK Mok crammed AN ENTIRE FANTASY NOVEL into a
short story is mindblowing. It doesn’t just talk
about memory, but about overthrowing tyrants, making
peace with your past, and did I mention an epic
journey throughout the land?"
- Ink to Screen
"The Heart of the
Labyrinth by DK Mok is a definite
recommendation as the creatures that Mok has created
will fuel your imagination and inspire your
empathy."
-
Ellipsis
"DK Mok's 'The Heart
of the Labyrinth' offers the kind of stealth
philosophy, cloaked in the tropes of fantasy and
mythology, of which Sir Pterry would have been
proud."
