About this ebook
Iron Sun, Silver Moon is, at heart, the bloody and tragic story of an anti-hero’s journey, told against a richly populated and complexly realised, fictional historical background. Through trial and ordeal - where he is dogged at every step by the horrors of his past - the dark character of Ehrunnar finally discovers the intensity and redeeming power of true love. But this comes at a supreme cost and great, personal sacrifice.
More than that, it is a reflective glimpse into the founding stages and eventual creation of a belief system; a chronological narrative that explores the struggles of change against an accepted sense of purpose and the influence of the past on fate and belief. We witness the richness of Ehrunnar’s world, explore its origins through the eyes of naivety; see first-hand the cultural and ethical influence of interventionist deities and the persuasive authority of ancient, hidden teachers upon its peoples. Here in his journey is mirrored the foundation of joy and misery, and the mysterious, metaphysical realm he, and all others who are touched kindly or cruelly by divine hands, inhabits.

M R Blacow
Malcolm was born. After this momentous event, he grew up (matter of opinion). In the intervening years spent in the UK he was educated, worked, and eventually left to live in Ireland. He did this to be with his wife, who’s Irish, as it’s a bit weird if a married couple live in separate countries. If you insist on knowing more about him: whilst in the UK he worked with jewellery for several years, spent some time in the license trade, and for fun was a medieval re-enactor. In Ireland he worked in the film and TV industry as an actor and an extra, and can be seen in over twenty productions. He even has a (very small) page on the Oscars website! Seriously! Apart from that, he likes writing. A lot. He says the act of writing delivers him up as a willing adventurer to worlds and events undreamed of, eager and breathless with anticipation because he simply doesn’t know who’s waiting there, what wonders they’ll show him or what they’ll have to say. Something like that. He writes fiction, both young adult and literary fantasy. Nobody’s published his work yet, until now.
