Here’s an excerpt from the book’s opening scene. It would have made for a great cover illustration, but I think that a simple cover and background will do for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its appearance sharpened into focus as it stepped through the edge of the dome and into the city. It stood about twelve feet in height. It was man-shaped, walking upright on two legs, and wore what looked like a harness of red, leathered straps. A heavily muscled body of jet black skin gleamed as though wet in the bright morning sun.<\/em><\/p>

Gigantic wings covered with black feathers shrouded it like a cloak. They came unfurled as it walked, reaching out to either side, and beat the air menacingly. As they did, they revealed two arms carrying an enormous axe with a viciously serrated edge. The axe shone with an evil red light.<\/em> <\/p>

The creature strode boldly across the amphitheater. It stopped halfway between the edge of the dome and the marketplace. It turned, surveying the city and its people. Then it unfurled its wings to their full extent, threw back its head, and laughed.<\/em><\/p>

\u201cI am Incanus Thad,\u201d the demon\u2019s voice boomed. \u201cCaptain of the Horde of Zomoran, the Black Magus. Behold me, mortals, and despair \u2014 and die!\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
