Cover Reveal: Dawn of Chaos

by Leave a Comment

I’m pleased to reveal the cover for my next book release:
Sanctum of the Archmage: Dawn of Chaos!

Dawn of Chaos will be the first of ten planned compilation volumes in the Sanctum of the Archmage Saga. It will combine the three books of the Dawn of Chaos Trilogy —Prologue to Chaos, Hell Gate, and Aftermath—into a single, “door-stopper” length epic fantasy tome. It will be published in multiple forms over the coming months, including e-book, deluxe e-book with illustrations, 6×9 print on demand paperback, and audiobook.

The new cover for Dawn of Chaos was created by Alex Perkins of Perky Visuals. Thanks to Alex for his great work on this!

Watch for upcoming announcements as the new releases become available. And keep an eye out for the next volume in the series, Sanctum of the Archmage: Crucible of Heroes!

The Dawn of Chaos Trilogy

by Leave a Comment

Announcing the Dawn of Chaos Trilogy, Volume One (of ten planned) in the Sanctum of the Archmage Saga. Book 2, Hell Gate, will be released wide on September 2nd, 2022.

A new constitution prepares Carlissa for an era of enlightenment. The old order fades, and a promise of freedom stirs the air.
In the space of one terrifying day, that promise is shattered in a bloodbath of fire and magic.

Read Prologue to Chaos

“This society is decadent beyond redemption. It is time for it to be purged in fire and rebuilt from the ashes.”

It wasn’t demons, death, and slavery to the Dark that truly frightened her. It was the woman she would have to become to fight them.

“Teach me, Grandfather. To fight, with steel and magic. Help me to become the weapon I will need to be to defeat our enemies.”

Sanctum of the Archmage is a saga of high fantasy in an old-school style, with expansive world-building and larger than life heroes. It’s a battle of good vs. evil that rejects the grayness of today’s stories to defend the values of personal choice and independence. An ancient conflict not only of magic, but of philosophy, to determine the fate of a world — and more.

Cover Reveal: Hell Gate

UPDATE August 12, 2022: In the process of preparing Hell Gate for publication, I decided to do a last, fairly significant editing pass on the manuscript with the help of some new writing software. I’m glad I did, since I believe this tightened up the writing considerably. It does mean, however, that I need to take time to proofread the updated manuscript before releasing it. The wide release is still pretty much on track (I’m targeting Friday, September 2nd for that now), but it probably won’t be out on Andarian Publishing until sometime next week (by August 19th at the latest).

I’m proud to introduce and reveal the cover for my next e-book, 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚: 𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙂𝙖𝙩𝙚!

Hell Gate will combine 𝘋𝘢𝘸𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘰𝘴’ four central novellas into the first full-length novel in the series. Thanks to Tiffanie Gray for her great work on the cover illustration!

[Update] Hell Gate will be available from Andarian Publishing on or about August 19th, 2022. It will subsequently be released on all major e-book retailers on September 2nd, 2022. Pre-orders for the latter should be ready before mid-August.

With the publication of Hell Gate, Dawn of Chaos will finally be available in the form I’ve wanted since I began re-writing it four years ago. That’s as a trilogy featuring a full length novel between prequel and sequel novellas, with the prequel as a free series intro.

The four “episodes” comprising Hell Gate will continue to be available as individual novellas, with some discounts available to encourage readers to try out the story.

Aftermath Now Available!

Aftermath, the final book in Sanctum of the Archmage, Volume One: Dawn of Chaos, is now available from all major e-book retailers!

Cover Illustration by Tiffanie Gray of Immortal Moments Art

The Eastern Continent reels in the aftermath of the demon invasion. Zomoran’s armies sweep over the land. Orion and Diana struggle to find a way to fulfill their oath under the new order as a determined resistance forms in the capital city. Great and small, the valiant of Carlissa commit themselves to a holy war against the Horde.

And no one believes that the princess and her grandfather, the Archmage, could possibly have survived the Massacre of Lannamon. But could they?

For a taste of what to expect from this latest installment in the Sanctum of the Archmage Saga, read this sample from Chapter 3, In Search of Accomplices.

In Search of Accomplices

With the release of Aftermath, Sanctum of the Archmage, Volume One: Dawn of Chaos is now available from all major e-book retailers in six novella-length episodes. Volume Two, Crucible of Heroes, will be next! The first episode in Book 1, Wrath of the Peregrine King, should be available this fall.
