Description
FEAR HAS A HOME…
Since its discovery, the island of Haven and its ore-rich mines have kept House Hallander from being overrun by the larger, wealthier houses of the Draconian mainland.
But Haven is not the godsend it seemed.
The last ship to reach Hallander's harbor from Haven carries no ore but only a single passenger—a dying old man with a strange mark burned in his forehead. His final words: "They sent me."
Dane, Lord Hallander’s only surviving son, immediately launches a rescue mission in an attempt to atone for a choice that still haunts him.
But what waits for Dane on Haven is darker than his past and more powerful than any foe he’s faced on the battlefield. If he is to succeed, he’ll need to find an ally in the last person on Earth who would want to help him, the mysterious slave girl Mirela. But getting too close to her may mean giving up any hope of returning home.
Once on Haven, they discover the colony deserted, its pantry stocked, its buildings undamaged, and not a soul in sight.
At least not any soul they would want to meet.
Excerpt:
“In that instant Silas realized what made this morning different from the others he had stood watch and every other morning before them. The songbirds weren't singing. The forest surrounding the settlement was utterly silent.
He spun back towards the trees, and as he did there was a blur of black motion at the foot of the wall beneath him which seemed suddenly to fill his whole field of vision. Something struck him on the mouth with such force he was knocked to his back.
He tried to scream, but his mouth was full of something thick and warm with the taste of copper. But his eyes were open and he could see clearly the figure that towered over him, and he knew then, impossible though it was, his eyes had not deceived him. But he wished by Kran and Shammath and all the lesser deities of the pantheon that they had.â€
A tale of supernatural suspense set in a post-apocalyptic Dark Age, The Silent Isle will keep you reading late into the night and introduce you to characters and questions that will hold your imagination long after you finish the last page.
Genre: Dark Fantasy, Inspirational Fiction, Action & Adventure
