That would chap Harfour’s hide! He might even decide to find Harfour’s spirit in the afterlife and “share” his newfound freedom with him.
That dagger would be the key to his success; Soulstealer had never failed to kill anyone in the centuries of its existence. And it always found its way back home, though it had been a very long time since the blade had tasted blood. The dagger would weaken the man’s will, causing him to give in to his vices, and possibly create new vices for him. Gleefully, the lich hoped that the blade would even convince the man to turn on his own friends. Strife, chaos, and betrayal were things that the assassin Ak Rypoor thrived on in life, and in death.
Whether this mortal succeeded or failed, mattered not, for he would grow stronger with every death the dark weapon caused. If one of those deaths happened to free him from his curse, so much the better. The ancient lich laughed and laughed.
He had nothing but time, after all.

This concludes Volume One. The perilous adventure continues in The Black Keep.
About Me
I’m a veteran of the US Marines, a career law enforcement officer and graduate of NY Times Best Selling Author Tracy Hickman’s Scribe’s Forge. As Tracy was in large part responsible for inspiring me to write, this was an amazing experience. I highly recommend Scribe’s Forge for aspiring writers, and I recommend anything written by Tracy and Laura Hickman for avid fantasy readers like me.
When I’m not working or writing I am usually spending time with my family...or I’m in a mountain stream fishing for the elusive wild trout of the Great Smoky Mountains!
The names and artwork from these books are inspired mainly by Celtic and European artwork and mythology. The wheel on each chapter is a derivative of the Celtic Sun Wheel. Each space represents one of the Sigil disciplines: Flame, Air (lightning bolt), Earth, Water, Shadow (skull), and the empty space is reserved for the lost discipline of Spirit.
As this series concludes, I will be focusing on my sci-fi thriller series about 22nd Century lawman, Marshal Heck Thomas. I will also begin writing a modern adventure fiction series, a historical fiction series, and a children’s adventure series.
