Beyond the Tempest Gate has gone on sale for 99 cents on Kindle (usually 2.99) for a limited time.

My book has been favorably reviewed by Sarah Chorn of Bookworm Blues, best selling author Frank Rogers, T.L. Gray, and several other bloggers, reviewers, and fans.

It's a dark fantasy novella that twists one of the longest standing fantasy tropes completely on its head. It's a tale of heroism and an exploration of narcissism, all in one man, as he sails alone across the sea to battle an evil he can't even understand.

Sarah Chorn of Bookworm Blues: “If you are any great follower of this website, you’ll know that I enjoy my books with a fun plot and full of deeper, more ponderous themes, and that’s exactly what you get here. What makes it all even more incredible is how Suwak manages to play with these weighty themes despite the short length. Bravo, sir.”

Reviewer/blogger William Wall: “Beyond the Tempest Gate, as written by Jeff Suwak, takes the deep emotional journey of The Wizard of Earthsea and combines it with the poetic beauty and tragedy of The Name of the Wind.”

Author Matthew Keith says: “Jeff Suwak’s novella Beyond the Tempest Gate is the perfect example of a story that doesn’t have to use filler or worry about a word count to be absolutely amazing. For me, as I read this story, it felt like Mr. Suwak must have already had the entire thing in his head before he wrote the first word. Every part of the story was necessary, every moment an exciting segue into the next.”
