Fezariu’s Epiphany (The Elencheran Chronicles)
Kindle $2.99, 387 pp.
At age 12, Fezariu believes that his mother died when he was a baby. However, when his beloved stepfather dies, Fezariu learns that his mother is alive, working at the most famous brothel in all of Elenchera. When she cruelly rejects him, he deals with the unbearable pain by running away to join a band of ruthless soldiers for hire. The Merelax Mercenaries will fight for anyone who can pay, regardless of the cause or its justness.
Fezariu’s Epiphany follows Fezariu as he grows up among the soldiers and becomes one of them. He thinks his time with the mercenaries has hardened him. But a campaign in his old home town pushes him too far. He discovers what really happened to his mother. Maybe there are some things money shouldn’t buy … and maybe it’s time Fezariu took his revenge.
Excerpt
“Vincent released his grip on Jessamine’s throat and retreated towards the door. He glanced at the broken glass on the floor before looking back at Jessamine. He grimaced at the transparent fear in her eyes and felt a hint of empathy in recognition of the corner he had forced her into. The understanding did not last and Vincent opened the door and stepped into the corridor. ‘This is for the best, Jessamine,’ he said. ‘Take some time to think about it. I know you’ll make the right decision. You always do.’
Vincent slammed the door shut and made his way quickly down the stairs. Jessamine listened to his footsteps and only felt the racing of her heart begin to ease as those footfalls faded. Jessamine reached for her throat and immediately gasped at the pain projecting from the surface of her skin, the earliest signs of bruising from Vincent’s misogynistic grip. She turned to massaging her stomach and became lost in thoughts of the child who grew within.”
Reviews
“There are many plot twists and turns in this masterfully written book chronicling the life of a mercenary named Fezariu. Fezariu’s Epiphany is a fantasy work on a grand scale in which you enter an imaginatively drawn world filled with many lands and spanning great periods of time.” ~ Jason Sullivan, author of The Dark Yergall
“When a reader that normally does not like fantasy novels set in world with unknown names falls in love with a book from that genre, then you know the author did a spectacular job of bringing his story to life for all to enjoy. I am that reader, and for me to sit down and read it from cover to cover says a lot about the book and the author. I highly recommend this book to readers of all genres. ~ Talina Perkins , Night Owl Reviews “Top pick”
