Book excerpt: An ancient prophecy threatens the return of the Small Gods to seek revenge on those who banished them a thousand years before. According to its words, only one person can stop them: the firstborn child of the rightful king. But King Erral usurped the throne decades past. For whom are the words intended? When the prince and princess discover the long-forgotten scroll, Teryk is convinced he is the savior of the kingdom and determines to fulfill his destiny. His sister is not so sure. If he is the chosen one, why is it only Danya can read the words inscribed on the parchment? And what of the other elements of the prophecy: the Barren Mother, the Living Statue, and the Man from Across the Sea? None of them can possibly exist. Teryk strikes out on his own to become the hero he is meant to be and prove his worth to his father once and for all. His desperate sister and the kingdom's one-armed champion give chase, but none of them realize the evil they've set in motion. The prince wants to save the kingdom.

It seeks a mythical creature whose sacrifice portends the return of ancient evil banished from the world long ago. With its return will come the fall of man. As the game unfolds, the Small Gods watch from the sky, waiting for their time to come and their chance to rise again. They wait for the fall of shadows, the coming of the darkness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teryk hated the boredom of being prince, sheltered and protected from the outside world. He yearned for action and adventure, like the heroes of yore, like his father, the king. When he stumbled on an ancient scroll inscribed with a prophecy, he got everything he craved, and so much more than he bargained for. The scroll speaks of non-sensical things--a barren mother, Small Gods, a Man From Across the Sea--all things that can't exist, or only do so in children's stories. All of it means nothing to the prince except one thing: the Firstborn Child of the Rightful King is prophesied to save them kingdom. He is King Errol's first born child. He sees this as his opportunity to show the king he is worthy to be his heir, to prove his worth to a father who never cared. Bolstered by the words written on the parchment, Teryk sets out to fulfil his destiny, never expecting his deeds are the catalyst to set the prophecy in motion. An ancient evil that has waited a thousand years for revenge awakens, summoning its followers to hasten its return. Only the unwitting prince stands between them and the end of the world.
