Well, its official!  After many years of tinkering and incessantly adding to it, my submission for Project 14: Dark Futures, has grown into a full length story.  I am in the process of making it available here for viewing since it's a tHP baby and I would love comments, reviews, or just plain criticisms from anyone affiliated with the Herscher Project.  It is my hope that this might become a published work someday, hopefully part of a series of works that deal with speculative sci-fi.  I already have some other ideas in the works, but I must get this one finished before I can even begin to think about them!

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads it and don't hesitate to leave comments.  I promise to offer my own services as reviewer and critic as well, wherever it is desired.

Zellohar: Book 1 of the Cornerstones Trilogy PDF Print E-mail

Zellohar cover
 
 

Zellohar Keep is lost…

Once the ancestral home of a glorious dwarven kingdom-a masterpiece of architecture, secure, secretive, impregnable-Zellohar is now prison to a dark evil. The dwarves used the might of the Cornerstones, conduits to the power of the elemental spheres, to forever seal the keep.

But the minions of the Dark Gods are not so easily imprisoned.

The squires of the Nekdukarr Lord Iveron Darkmist, a paladin of the death god, Mortas, have recovered the Cornerstones. The enchantment has been broken. The doors that sealed the chaos of the Nine Hells within the mountain under Zellohar have been opened. The powers of the Nine Hells, have, quite literally, broken loose.

Iveron Darkmist has resumed the campaign he began nearly one hundred year ago-to devastate the surface world in a storm of destruction and death. And with Zellohar as his fortress, the Cornerstones to fuel his magic, and the Dark Gods' favor, he will be invincible.

All that stands in his way are a horse farmer's daughter, a superstitious tribesman, a defrocked priest, a demented dwarf and an elf cursed with lycanthropy. The unwitting companions stumble into the Nekdukarr's plot, and are thrown into a conflict that threatens to obliterate all they know and love.

Pursued to the corners of the realms, the companions flee the wrath of Iveron Darkmist. But even death is no refuge from the power of the Dark Gods.

Dark Haven

 

Dark Haven is Book Three in The Chronicles of the Necromancer, following immediately after The Summoner and The Blood King. In The Summoner and The Blood King, Prince Martris Drayke must seek the throne he never wanted in order to unseat a usurper and avenge his family. The only chance he has to succeed lies in how well he can gain control over his rogue magic—he is a Summoner, with the power to interceed among the living, the undead, and the dead. At great cost, Tris takes back the throne, but the job of rebuilding his shattered kingdom has only begun. In Dark Haven, the effects of Jared the Usurper's reign of terror strike at the stability of the Winter Kingdoms. Undead forces align against Lord Jonmarc Vahanian of Dark Haven in a struggle for power between mortals and the vayash moru. Magic has become a dangerous and unpredictable force. As King Martris Drayke prepares for his wedding, he must also prepare for war against rebels still loyal to Jared. Isencroft is on the brink of civil war over the looming reality of a joint kingdom. Only one thing is certain—the Winter Kingdoms will be changed forever, and innocence is the first casualty.
