Good morning, all! It’s time for our first stop along the Bewitching Book Tours literary route, featuring an exciting new author by the name of David M. Brown.
Salvation came in the form of the Merelax Mercenaries – Elenchera’s most prestigious hired hands. They gave Fezariu the chance to escape from his past. Immersed in the world of dangerous assignments in the colonies Fezariu longed to forget everything about his childhood but only in facing the past would he ever be free of it.
I realise the book blurb is just a tease, but something about it grabbed hold of my imagination from the first time I read it. As such, I’m delighted to have David guest posting with us today. Please check out his post below, and then stayed tuned for some exciting giveaway news below!
I intend both Fezariu’s Epiphany and other novels from the world of Elenchera to be a very different form of fantasy to what you may have read before. This genre isn’t for everyone, of course, and with that in mind I’ve tried to write a novel where the essence is Fezariu and not
the world of Elenchera. Fezariu’s story is one of a turbulent childhood and a past so painful he finds solace in the arms of the Merelax Mercenaries – Elenchera’s most renowned force of hired hands. Even then Fezariu is our focus as he learns the art of war and desperately tries
to forget his childhood. Some readers have told me it’s a tale that could take place at any time or place, it just happens to be in Elenchera.
My hope with the novel is to immerse the reader in a unique world but also to leave them moved by Fezariu, his childhood, his broken family, his comrades in the mercenaries and his frequent brushes with death that are more favourable to him than reliving his past. Future Elenchera novels will follow suit in taking the reader into the lives of a small groups of characters and, hopefully, these will be journeys that evoke a myriad of emotions. Whether you’re a fan of fantasy or not I hope that Fezariu’s Epiphany will reach out to a wide range of readers.
Finally, if you’re not already convinced to enter the giveaway (or, better yet, purchase a copy of your own), check out the book trailer for Fezariu’s Epiphany below:
