The Crumbling Abyss (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

As the Antiquated World spirals into chaos...the crumbling abyss beckons...

Ground remorselessly between three odious millstones, the nations of the Eastern Continent prepare to face their moment of reckoning. As King Artumas and his allies, both old and new, prepare to confront the menace posed by Myrhia's imminent vengeful return, two dire new threats arise to plunge the entire continent into dark chaos. In the Blighted Lands, deranged Sygeanor, having usurped control of Metocan and vowed obliteration of Lamia and its Queen Lorio, raises a ravenous legion of undead to see that vow fulfilled. From across the Sea of Prevailing Mystery comes a massive army of misogynistic religious zealots intent on cleansing the continent with blood and fire. Even as Emercia and her allies prepare to give opposition to this daunting three-headed serpent, Artumas realizes that it may be Lissom, his most powerful ally and divine emissary of a goddess, who may pose the greatest threat to the land's uncertain future.

When it seems inevitable that darkness will prevail and the last faint vestiges of light will be extinguished, deliverance arrives from two unlikely sources...but at a cost that may yet prove unbearably exorbitant.

Autorenporträt

At the beginning of this year, I made the difficult decision that I would offer my entire catalogue of novels (which currently stands at eleven, with a twelfth and thirteenth to follow in the not too distant future) free of charge. There are a number of reasons that inspired this decision, but in the name of brevity, I'll confine my explanation to the two most pertinent. After several months of honest introspection, I finally was forced to admit that I possess neither the aptitude, nor the desire for self-promotion (as one would quickly glean if they were to bother to check my paltry social media footprint)...an aptitude that is essential for an indie author's chance at acceptance and recognition. Even more damning is the fact that I choose to write in a neoclassical style, the appeal of which is confined to an extremely miniscule segment of today's reading devotees. After more than thirty years, it is time to accept reality and stop flogging this particular dead horse. I toyed with the notion of completely removing my works from the various outlet platforms, but decided to offer them for free instead. Recalling the motivation that had inspired me to start writing in the first place, I realized that a less money oriented individual would be a challenge to find and I was driven by a desire to share my creative efforts...these tales of epic fantasy and dark horror with those who might appreciate reading them as much as I enjoyed scribing them. Thus, the e-book versions of my novels will henceforth be free on Smashwords and all of their distribution channels...Barnes & Noble, Apple, etc. Unfortunately, Amazon does not allow for authors to offer their creative works gratis and they will remain available through that platform for a nominal price (I will remind readers that Amazon does price match). The paper version of my novels are available through Amazon, but for a price that most might find prohibitive for a comparatively unknown indie author. My aspiration now is simply this; I hope that readers who happen across my works will take the time to delve into the poignant, heartfelt tales of these characters for whom I've developed such an affection while setting their stories to paper. Both the Journey fantasy series and the Converging supernatural series (a classification I roundly detest) are nearing the ends of their long arcs. It is my hope that the day will come, after the last word of each has been set to paper, when, as an even older...
