The Whisper of the Coals

By James Wolven

The Whisper of the Coals can never be trusted.

It's a shapeshifting demon with the power to grant wishes and take lives, setting up residence on the deceptively-named Mountain of Reflection. Ask for the five things you desire most, and they will be granted to you, but only if the Whisper will accept your offerings. And if you choose your words very, very carefully, lest the Whisper sense a loophole or a weakness, parting you from your life and preserving you as a statue in its garden.

The hunter called Rafal knows all this, yet he journeys to commune with the Whisper anyway. What does he want most? What is he willing to sacrifice to get it? Will he choose his words wisely, or will the Whisper outsmart him in a game it's played for centuries? What has compelled Rafal, a calm, logical man with his head firmly on his shoulders, to risk it all bartering with a demon?

James Wolven

James Burton, a.k.a. James Wolven, is an American author, voice actor, and generally a large nerd who refers to himself in the third-person far too often. I am a fanatic of the sci-fi and fantasy genres, as I have always found the concept of a brand new world with new rules and history to be fascinating, and so I often wind up incorporating this into my work as well. While all my stories, both current and upcoming, fit into many additional categories - adventure, comedy, suspense, horror - the common thread of the fantastical and supernatural is woven into most of them, as well as themes of exploring morality and asking readers where the line between good and evil truly is. I am also a voice actor known for video game and audiobook work. Naturally, this means I often narrate my own novels.
