Blood of the Land
by Martin Davey
Three thousand years ago the gods came from the skies to save the world of man from the tyrannies of the Kings and Queens. Some fell to their knees and prayed before the gods who called themselves the Keepers and some took to the sword to fight alongside the Kings and Queens in the wars of Deliverance. All fell before the might of the gods from the skies. For three thousand years the five Keepers have ruled the world of men. But times are changing. A new Captain of the Watch is haunted by dead loved ones returning to him, whispering from the shadows even as he does the bidding of dark-eyed agents of the Keepers. A woman has to flee her home, hunted because of her dreams, dreams of mysterious old gods and the people who worshipped them. And a man who defied the Keepers joins the Seekers in their search for the birthplace of the Blood Lord, a quest that will have him questioning his very identity.Times are changing and the history of a world that has forgotten its own past will fight for the right to be remembered, brother will fight brother, father will fight son and one day the mystery of the gods from the skies will be answered.Genre: Dark FantasyLength: 166,000 wordsCover Art and Design: Steve Criado
