| Summary |
"Dragon Moon" by Henry Kuttner is a novelette of lost Atlantis written during the early 20th century. The story follows Elak, a descendant of the royal line of Cyrena, as he battles the malevolent entity known as Karkora, the Pallid One, who has possessed Sepher, the king of Kiriath. Delving into themes of magic, ancient legends, and personal destiny, the narrative weaves together adventure and the supernatural against a richly imagined backdrop of Atlantis. In the tale, Elak faces numerous challenges as he discovers the truth about Karkora and the fate of his family. After a tumultuous journey that leads him to encounter allies, including Aynger of Amenalk and Mayana, a sea-witch, he learns that Karkora is an abomination created from the dark sorcery of Erykion. Armed with newfound strength and a magical talisman, Elak ultimately confronts Karkora and Sepher in a climactic battle for the fate of Cyrena. With themes of sacrifice and the struggle against malevolent forces, Kuttner crafts a gripping narrative that showcases the hero's journey in a world where magic reigns and ancient evils lurk.
