    About this ebook

    The epic undead war begins! See how it all began in this brief prequel.

    Revenants are all that are undead: ghosts, vampires, zombies and beyond - yet are still human. This undead race can Harness the soul inhabiting and animating them to understand the volumes of knowledge, oceans of power and of swells of emotions a past life contains. Or be slave to it.

    Ryan Sherwood

    I'm a big fan of zombies, comic books, horror, dark sci-fi & fantasy and even literature (can be darker than horror!), as you will see in my books. Yet, I want to help keep genre fiction honest and create stories that build something new and challenging to concepts, not just rehashing someones good idea from a century ago. Fun side fact: I designed all my book covers and website, as I am a visual/web designer by day and author (ok, maybe sleeper too) by night. Best time to write dark fantasy/horror books probably is the night anyway. You tell me - share your opinion with me and especially with others!
