New Fantasy Book

After a lot of editing, proofreading and typesetting I’m finally in the process of publishing the first book of my new fantasy series. The book is set in a fantasy world, parts of which were inspired by the Cornish landscape and coastline. Magic exists there along with a host of different animals and mystical creatures, many of them inspired by legends and myths from across Europe.

I think trying to work out a suitable title was one of the most difficult things to do and I always struggle with it. After a lot of debate and thought I finally decided on a title of Shadows Of Cayhurst: The Awakening of Droluk. Shadows of Cayhurst will also be the overall title of the series.

The book cover was also difficult to decide on since I wanted something that had an exciting, fantasy look. I’m not sure if I succeeded in achieving this but I am pleased with the vibrant colour of the cover and just hope others like it.

I don’t want to give too much more away about the story at this stage but I will be posting some more information about the book soon. In the meantime the blurb can be seen below.

In the west of Aegarn, an ancient power has awoken. Monstrous creatures steeped in shadow sweep the land, relentlessly hunting their prey.

In the village of Fifield, a boy is forced from his adopted home and into a world of adventure. His unusual gifts guide him through an incredible world, and set him on a course that will lead straight into the heart of the darkness…

With giants, orcs, beasts and other creatures in their path, Falrick and his companions must do what they can against the seemingly invulnerable army of darkness. But even as new alliances are made, old grudges and old friends cast their own shadows…
