Exciting news on the publishing front: Gothikar will be for sale from online vendors tomorrow, January 14, 2014. This includes the Createspace store and the various Amazon websites! The next day, Wednesday, residents of Kelowna BC, or the Quinte West area in Ontario can buy the book in print, from either myself in BC or from my dad. Please email shadow.glyph.books@gmail.com if you’re interested. Kindle has a different review process, so it may not be available until later in the week.
Business aside, I’m thrilled to be bringing the second book to readers. It’s an exciting story that was a lot of work to make, and I look forward to feedback! Here’s the synopsis from the back of the book:
Gothikar is the story of two men, a father and a son; a Prince and a Magician. Together, they will drive the Triumvirate into the crisis that unfolded during Shadow Glyph. They will be influenced by one another, but also by the future they cause.
The father fights a war of justice. A noble heart and wise mind is enough at first, but as the war stretches across decades, he finds himself drawn thin. Above all, he knows he must save the Triumvirate. When the cost for this is his life he can accept it, but when the price for its salvation becomes his soul the lines of what he should do and what he must do become blurred.
The son has his own war, one to destroy the Triumvirate. Raised by the cold war on the home front in his father’s absence, he will be offered chance after chance to save his soul. Unlike his father, he does not hesitate to sacrifice his morality for his cause. His father fights to save the government, while the son fights to undo it.
Gothikar is the tragedy of sacrifice and failure. One of these men’s struggles will be in vain. One of them will emerge victorious. One of them will destroy the Triumvirate.
