Shadow Over Charax - A New Cover

The Book should be out in March

My latest book is coming soon. In preparation, I’m showing off the new cover for everyone which gives you a look into the world of this dark fantasy.

Synopsis

It is a world where the necromancer, Grymr, extends his power over the remaining kingdoms through the cruel butchery of the undead Gravers. Using the trapped spirits of his unfortunate victims, Grymr carries out a brutal campaign using his hordes upon the last bastions of the old world. 

On the fortress island of Charax, a decrepit kingdom holds the Nalith, a sacred object sought by Grymr. However, the fortress is much like the society inside, a decaying symbol of the past. Strict social and economic stratification allows the dominant Chara clan to control the island using the help of pirates who dominate the waters.

Trapped in the lowest class are a quick-witted smuggler named Hilko and his female friend, Silna, who works as an enforcer thug for the leader of the Tunnels. Not realizing their peril, the pair steal the Nalith and barely escape the island, only to land in the clutches of pirates.

As the pirate ship leads him and his new comrades to certain slavery, Hilko discovers the artifact’s power, which slowly changes him during the journey. As the smuggler finds that old friendships mean little to the living, Hilko discovers that ghosts of the dead can become trustworthy companions. When he and his comrades escape and arrive in Cangas, Hilko realizes he is nothing but a pawn to the king. He quickly concludes that he can only trust the spirits.

With Grymr’s gravers closing in on the last city of the mainland, along with the knowledge that he must act, the smuggler comes to a fateful decision. No longer will he be used as a tool of others, condemned to follow the dictates of corrupt rulers. Instead, he will use the power of the Nalith and his ghostly friends to change the future.
