Epic fantasy novella – Origin of Shadow

Origin of Shadow – Find out where the Brotherhood began

As many of you are aware, I released a novella last year called Genesis of Light. It told the story of the beginning of the Children of Light, and gave the start of Callista’s story in the war.

Well, now I am preparing to release the second half of that story.

Origin of Shadow covers the same time period as Genesis of Light, but from the perspective of Vincent Wilder. Vincent is the leader of the Brotherood of Shadow and this novella tells his beginnings in the seedy underworld of crime.

Creativia (my publisher) has accepted the manuscript and it is now going through final editing, with a view to being released later this year.

I can’t reveal the cover design just yet, as it is still being finalised. However, here is a sneak peek at some of the first art draft (credit again to Irina French).

A blurb and extract for Origin of Shadow will be coming soon. Stay tuned!

Goddess of the Wild Thing

And

The Unholy

Excerpt: The Unholy

As she ran forward, out of nowhere the two crows flew at her, scraping

the air near her face with their sharp talons. Fists clenched, she struck out at

one and grabbed at the other. They flew up, circled overhead, then dove, talons

flaring. Unmoving, Claire placed her hands by her side and held their gaze.

They fluttered above her head for a minute, then left. Claire turned and saw an

eagle soaring—a healer’s spirit manifestation. Medicine women said it came

only when needed, when danger lurked.

Frantically tugging away bush, bramble, and cacti, she uncovered the

mouth of the seventh cave and stepped in. She had the feeling somebody was

watching.

Her eyes adjusted and she made out the contour of something. Squinting,

she stooped and touched what seemed to be a circle of stones and charred, cold

logs. She stood up and pulled back. A bat flew at her. She waved it away.

She stopped, waited for her breathing to slow, and, stepping sideways,

touched the walls of the cave. They were damp and the stink of blood and guts

was everywhere. Using the hard surfaces as a guide, her fingertips suddenly

brushed through a hollow space roughly the size of a human body.
