About this ebook

Above the kingdoms that lie on the shores of the sea of Vilmara, a new star has risen into the night. A red star portending evil and death, an omen star. After a long sojourn in the East, the sorcerer Israfel Al-Malik returns home and finds the lands in turmoil. His old ally, the King of Hesperia, is dead under mysterious circumstances, and he seeks the truth. Everywhere there are signs of plots and counterplots, signs of darkness working beneath the surface.

The king's granddaughter, Amarantha, is caught in a web of intrigue, hemmed in my power-hungry wizards who seek to use her to control the realm, and when she and Israfel join forces, they learn there is much more than that at stake. An ancient evil - older than their civilization - is awake again. From out of the dark past comes a nameless power. One who has devoured entire empires to feed his hunger, and who will do so again unless he is stopped.

Paul Batteiger

I have been making up stories since I was old enough to know what they were. It is all I have ever really cared about and probably all I ever will. I write fantasy, pulp adventure, horror, superhero stories, erotica, and sword & sorcery. My stuff always seems to have some element to it that makes it unmarketable, so here I can let loose all these stories and see if anyone likes them. Readers can message me at sargon999AThotmailDOTcom.
