Two cities. A forgotten past. Destiny comes to call.
Cut off from the outside world by a hostile desert full
of savage secrets, the city of Illamar must fend for itself. Late one night,
Dante Montero, Commander and Ruler of Illamar, is confronted on his own streets
by a mysterious woman bearing an ominous message from a dangerous man known
only as Rasheim. Dante and his close friend Kerran, Captain of the Guard, rush
to discover the identity of Rasheim and the nature of the threat posed against
their city. The closer they get to the truth, the more their worlds begin to
fall apart. Both men will have to rely heavily on their friendship as they
struggle to comprehend the events happening around them, their past, and even
the truth about themselves. They must move quickly and choose wisely, for time
is running out as Dante and Kerran discover a secret plot is already underway
to destroy their city and kill every last person alive. It seems the answers
they so desperately need can only be found in a sequence of dreams, but in a
world where nothing is as it seems, even their dreams could turn out to be
deadly.
· What types of readers will be interested in
your book?
Obviously, anyone who enjoys the
Fantasy/Science Fiction genre would enjoy it; but beyond that, anyone who
enjoys a well-crafted story. My book does have a strong, heroic woman as one of
the main characters. It is a fast moving story that quickly takes you to the
heart of the action and dilemma faced by the two stars of the book- Dante
Monterro and Kerran Gurtene. It has already been enjoyed by people of all ages;
from young adult to mature adult. If you
are a person that enjoys to read, then you will definitely enjoy my book. It
follows a non-conventional path that should intrigue even the most experienced
fantasy, Sci-Fi, mystery, or fiction reader.
· What is special about your book? What differentiates it from other books in the
same category?
I take what I consider to be a more classical
approach to storytelling. I leave a lot of the baser descriptions to the
reader’s imaginings so I can focus more directly on moving the story along.
This makes it appealing to more than just fantasy fans. I have had people read
my book that actually do not like the fantasy genre at all, but they really
enjoyed The Waking Dream. It carries a lot of focus on the characters, and how
these two men discover hidden value in unexpected characters they encounter.
This makes my story non-predictable yet identifiable to the reader.
