The Lives of Velnin: THE BLACK CITADEL
$9.99 - Buy the physical book on Amazon $0.99 - Buy the kindle version on Amazon
Swordfights. True Love. High Adventure. Epic Battles. Action. Magic. Reincarnation.
I was 17 years old when I died for the first time.
I parried the guard's cut, feinted high, then swung Swelfalster, blade of the fallen star, low for a slash at his unarmored thigh. I scored, a line of blood dripping down his leg, and danced back before his counterstroke landed.
This is the chronicle of Velnin, Crown Prince of Tarmel, told through the dying words of his first incarnations. Vel is sent as a spy to the territory of the Black Citadel, investigating a newly rising power, the dark rumors surrounding it, and the fearsome might of its army: the Black Legion.
In his journey he encounters the charming Aloree, diplomat of the neighboring kingdom of Talore. Healer, magic-user, diplomat, bookworm, her beauty belies hidden secrets within her.
A fast-paced epic fantasy of swords, love, magic, and battles. Vel must protect the people of his kingdom, and make whatever sacrifices he must to end the horrors perpetuated by the Black Legion. But must he sacrifice true love itself for the sake of his people?
"You write action so well! I'm taking notes..." -Anthony Lee Phillips, author of Moonthread.
"Fast, Exciting Read! 5 stars." -Alexander Scott, author of Mage: The Way of the Mark.
"This is very well written." -Joseph L. Wiess, author of The Draoidh's Cearcall and The LawKeeper Chronicles.

Very nice so far, after just two installments. A film-noir-style private eye tries to solve a murder on a spaceship, surrounded by dames and wiseguys, etc. etc. The prose style is appropriately over the top.
Although WE KNOW WHAT A SLIDE RULE IS :) or maybe the younger waves don't, these days.
