Dark Epic Fantasy

My books are dark epic fantasy where demons do not simply kill—they snatch souls from the living, condemning their victims to a fate more dreadful than death. Ancient evils, forgotten wars, and a creeping sense of doom shape every corner of this world.

The Shadow of the Krell Wars

Long ago, during the Krell Wars, sorcerers waged brutal conflict while demons ravaged both sides, tearing souls from the living and the wounded alike. When the war finally ended, the sorcerers vanished without explanation, leaving behind only the crumbling ruins of a once-proud nation and a mystery that has never been solved. With their disappearance, the only known means of defeating demons was lost.

Now the land lies defenceless against the demon hordes. Worse still, its people have grown complacent, too fearful even to imagine that the demons might one day return. Yet the fear has never truly vanished. Garlands and other magical trinkets hang in window frames and doorways—frail, desperate charms against a darkness no one is prepared to face.

What You’ll Find in These Books

These stories feature dark fantasy knights, dragons, demons, imps, and much more, all set against a world haunted by the legacy of the Krell Wars.

Drachar’s Demons draws readers into the dreadful brutality of that ancient conflict.

Prophecy of the Kings reveals how complacency turns to terror as the threat of demons rises once more and escalates into all-out war. Alliances fracture, old fears awaken, and the steady beat of war builds towards a terrifying conclusion.

Book 2 - Dragon Rider. Epic fantasy novels.

 Drachar’s Demons

Drachar, an Eldric Lord cast out by his own people, swears a terrible vengeance and forges an unholy pact with the demons. In exchange, he promises them 100,000 souls—a debt that can be paid only through all-out war. As he crosses the land in search of allies, the demons haunt his dreams, relentless and ever watchful, pressing him toward ruin. Meanwhile, his people are dragged into a war they never wanted and must learn to summon and fight demons—a perilous art with no room for error. Demons can be called forth only briefly, and their armoured hides are too thick for arrows to pierce. Should a summoning fail, the price is immediate and horrific: the summoner is dragged screaming into Hell. So begins the Krell Wars.

If you like well written traditional fantasy with plenty of magic and action, you'll enjoy this book very much.  RisingShadow.net   

Kaplyn, Lars, and Vastra—an unlikely trio—set out in search of a powerful relic buried beneath the ruins of an ancient city. Boastful and reckless, Vastra claims to be a sorcerer, but when he calls the true city out of its crumbling shell, he unleashes far more than he intended and condemns his companions to a waking nightmare. As they press deeper into the unknown, they uncover chilling signs that demon activity is spreading. Even the bravest speak of demons in whispers, for they are a terror few would dare confront. Yet the people cling to denial, refusing to face the Prophecy that warns of Drachar’s shade rising again. When that day comes, a demon horde will sweep across the land—and only sorcery can hold it back. But the sorcerers have vanished, and no one knows why.

“Legacy of the Eldric is pure escapism, a high fantasy novel that manages to entertain from beginning to end with an easy to read narrative, interesting characters and intelligent world building, I highly recommend this novel to any fan of fantasy fiction.”

In secret, the enemy works tirelessly to prevent the Prophecy from coming to pass. Their spies whisper lies, their assassins strike from the shadows, and allies are turned against one another before they realise betrayal is already at their door. Now a new faction rises—the Prieste of Ryoch—seeking not only power, but dominion over the very souls of men. They lure the young into their ranks and teach them to commune with their shaol, guardian spirits that can transform them into near-unstoppable warriors, merciless on the battlefield. Meanwhile, armies gather unseen beyond the horizon, and with every passing day the enemy feeds doubt and mistrust until fear itself becomes a weapon. In such a darkening storm, who can still be trusted—and how much longer before the dam finally breaks and war comes roaring through?

“Dragon Rider manages to achieve the difficult task of improving on it's predecessor (no mean task) with a sweeping tale of high fantasy that will keep you hooked until the very last page.” SFBooks.com  

Book 1 - Legacy of the Eldric. Dark epic fantasy novels.

Betrayal hurls the trio into the grip of Prophecy as tribes of krell, dark knights, and grakyn gather in the shadows and march to war. The Land fractures beneath a spreading tide of doubt and fear. Demons are no longer the stuff of legend; they walk again, and war now burns on the very brink of Hell. The people turn to the Eldric and their sorcerers for salvation, but they have vanished without a trace. A dragon summoned by Kaplyn is hailed as their last hope, and the armies demand its aid—but Kaplyn dreads the very creatures they trust to save them. For years they have stalked his dreams, and one name makes that terror sharpen into certainty: Shastlan. A dead emperor who brought ruin to his own world—and whose darkness now reaches for Kaplyn’s.

“Shadow of the Demon is a triumph of high fantasy, a rich, rewarding end to a phenomenal series and should not be missed.” RevSfbook.com
