About this ebook

This novel is a historical fiction that recounts the fall of the Majapahit Kingdom, but not from a conventional historical perspective. Instead of presenting rigid historical facts, Agung Webe chooses a "folktale" narrative rich in literary imagination, exploring universal themes such as loyalty, honesty, betrayal, rebellion, and liberation.

What if all the history we know is merely a veil? On the brink of Majapahit's collapse, a secret far more unsettling than the war itself is uncovered. It's not the sword that destroys, but whispers, betrayals, and truths deliberately silenced.

"Eclipse on Semeru" invites us to wander through the grand yet intricate corridors of Wilwatikta palace, where ambition hides behind the practiced smiles of nobles. Pradipta Wisesa, a loyal knight, begins to feel the cracks in his kingdom's foundation. He witnesses firsthand how Majapahit, once hailed as a center of civilization, slowly dies due to the greed and negligence of its leaders, not from external enemies.

Pradipta's journey leads him to encounter mysterious figures such as Syekh Malik al-Faruqi, a scholar who speaks of justice sharper than any sword , and Nyai Rarasati, a puppeteer capable of seeing the truth behind every wayang performance. Amidst the turmoil of civil war and whispers of betrayal, Pradipta, Rarasati, and Syekh Malik seek the true meaning of power and identity.

However, their quest not only leads to enlightenment but also to the revelation of deeper secrets: an encounter with the timeless figure of Sabdo Palon, and a palm-leaf manuscript hinting at Majapahit's unexpected rebirth.

This novel will shake your understanding of history. Did Majapahit truly fall, or did it merely transform into something unseen, waiting to be recognized by those brave enough to look beyond the illusion of power?
