"A fox-named king, a sylfaea minstrel who walks with demigods and a mysterious man of silver are given a quest by the Seeress of Glass. They are to journey to the Hold of Ashes and help its people against the enemy that besieges the city - a foe that has the eye of death. Unknown to them, they will be the last to enter the tunnels and the last to fall to the consort of the Mother of Madness. After he takes their eyes, their skin and their bones, he will complete her house and call his mother and consort to Earth. It is up to three unlikely heroes and one chalyvos who wants to wash away his shame, to face the eye of death and conquer it, lest darkness rules the land."This book is a 32.000 word novella that fits snugly into the Heroic Fantasy genre. This is a tale which takes place in the middle of the over-arching story about the triumphs and tragedies that shape the lives of the protagonists. It may seem counter-intuitive to begin a tale in the middle of the greater story-arc but I'm in favour of such an introduction. Although there is a clear beginning, it is not the true beginning and although there is an end to the tale, it is not the end of the greater story. Those of you who enjoy this fantasy tale be assured that all the tales will be told and that the story will unfold.
Autorenporträt
I was born in nineteen seventy-four in Greece, just after the end of the reign of the Colonels' Junta. I have a BSc in Computer Science and a PgD in Mathematical Sciences and I've worked as a software engineer for twelve years. I'm currently doing contracted work abroad as an armed guard on merchant ships. I discovered my love for writing at an early age writing poems. Ever since I reached adulthood I've been writing stories, adventures and campaign settings for a number of role-playing games. When I hit forty, I decided to realize one of my long-held ambitions and write a proper novel. That one novel became two and then three and a number of novellas and short stories joined the ride and I haven't stopped writing since.
