Cutting through the cliche
I sit here, typing avidly and aiming to do naught to please my readers, to bring you all glad tidings.
Are you struggling to find a good, no, a great book this Winter? Are the pages of your well worn favorite just holding no more suspense for you? And do the walls of your local book store seem lined with works of tedious boredom?
If so then I have good news! And well even if you have a reading list the size of a basketball player you should probably still listen because one can never have too long a reading list!
Now the genre of fantasy has been a bit, well…repetitive over the last few years with only a few gems standing out from the over done mud of ‘good fights evil – good wins’ so around a year and a half ago I sat down and decided to try my hand at writing myself; I can hardly judge the efforts of other writers when I hadn't so much as write ‘once upon a time’ myself could I?
The end result is, I believe/hope, something different; the characters have their own motivations and though honor exists it is no longer some mythical force that for some reason certain people have a lot of and the rest of the world non. No near invincible‘dark lord’ resides in some lair and just as in our world the border between right and wrong is not always clear.
War will come to the land, and the realms on men face threats from without and within. As the last Soulborn; a deadly amalgamation of death and passion, hunts down the Angels that struggle to lead humanity against its foes each faction seems bent on doing the right thing, at the cost of the others lives.
Blood will flow, but whose?
