About this ebook
The distant Eastern Kingdom of Astalan has fallen. Falanholme... The Bright, Shining Land stands encircled by the most dreadful peril. The Forces of The Darkness have now subjugated almost all of her surrounding neighbours. When Falanholme falls, Baelar...The Lord of The Underdark will invoked his terrible, creeping "Night of the Shadows Rising." All will be plunged in back into Chaos, as it had been long ago in The Age of The Beginnings. The great plumes of smoke rising in the east bear silent witness to the terrible fate of Astalan as, what can only be minions of The Darkness, sweep up from the south pillaging and burning that once-idyllic Kingdom. Falanholme now stands alone... the last beacon of hope left for the subjugated peoples of the West. Falanholme steadfastly refuses to yield. Against overwhelming odds, nine Guardians of The Light and a Wraith-Hunter Warrior maid; although so far outnumbered in warrior and sword; will not go down meekly and quietly into the Darkness. They will wager all... without question, to preserve such truths and freedom as their peoples hold; no matter the odds arrayed against them. Inspired by their stubborn resilience the Realms and Kingdoms of Falanholme rise together, casting aside such petty differences they hold; and united, fight as one for their right to live.

I'm Dave. I am writing my seventh novel at present; it will also be available as a series of novellas... working on the principle that these days, readers prefer something that is quick to read... say, during a bus journey or whatever.It is the latest in an ongoing series based on my original Fantasy Trilogy "The EternalWatchtower."The trilogy has been likened to a "Tolkien on Steroids"... but is not populated with Elves and other assorted pointy-eared characters, and traces the chronicled history of a lost race, and their struggles against an overwhelming evil which threatens to destroy their very existence.It started out as a favour for a friend: (Can you do a fairy tale for the kids)... but eventually topped 400,000 words... hence the transition into a trilogy.I was born in Gloucestershire and have lived in the county all my life. I grew up surrounded by the myths and legends of "What there might be in the woods"... "What were the things that went "Bump" in the night?"... "Was that really a screech Owl ... or something else?" This proved very useful when it came to writing the first book of the Fantasy Trilogy!The son of a Country Blacksmith; I became a Police Officer, and later joined an International Aerospace Company, employed as an Avionics Quality Inspector.I hope you enjoy the trilogy and its sequels as much as I enjoy writing them.
