The Lord of Desire

"The vow of black revenge, his new forbidden deity..." The Lord of Desire is epic fantasy in poetic form. Edeus, a naive twenty-one year old living a quotidian life in a quaint village, knows nothing of desires beyond his simple needs, until traitorous raiders-newly swearing allegiance to the Lord of Desire-burn his village, massacre his friends, defile his lover, and leave him for dead. Swearing revenge against the Lord, he sets out on an epic journey that will take him into realms beyond imagination. Guided by a mysterious ally, The Gimp, who has foresworn all personal Desire to achieve magical powers, and Peta, a cartographer with an adventurous spirit, Edeus must find his true Self in a world of chaos, transformation, and bitter loss. The Lord of Desire will please fans of dark, epic fantasy in the vein of Rob J. Hayes's THE WAR ETERNAL and erotically charged horror like Clive Barker's HELLRAISER. Come face to face with the true beast of humanity, and learn how far one must go to avenge lost innocence... Praise for the author "A rare and meticulously crafted gem in an age of rapid mass consumption."
