Title: The Gifts of the Dark God
Series: The Chronicles of the Chosen Undead
Volume: 1
Author: Fred Darkness
Genre: Horror/Fantasy/Dark Fantasy
Publisher: Independent
Release: June 2024
Synopsis:
A man has risen from the dead because of a spell of extraordinary power and cruelty. The curse forces him to die and rise again without preserving the memory of his previous lives. Condemned to the contempt of humanity, to an outcast existence without the hope of love, family, friendship, or home, he only remembers one name from his past life: Rhys.
Not even the Keras, the deities that govern the duration of human life, have been able to explain how he came back to life or who cursed him. However, they recall an ancient legend that tells of an undead who, in the darkest moment of humanity, will decide the fate of the world. But will Rhys be the chosen undead? What fate will he choose for the world?
Now, he wanders the world, supported only by the advice of the Blind Herald. His only comfort is the spectacle of a star shining brighter than a rainbow. Only one other person can see it: Jude. She is also a chosen one, destined to become the Regent of the White Sanctuary, the only place in all the lands where magic is still practiced.
Meanwhile, the sorcerer Radamant, with a stroke of his hand, killed the Emperor of Heidal and took control of the capital and the Primeval Flame, the source of power used by the God of Light to give a soul to men. With his control, the Checkrops, the three immortal demons who empowered Radamant, have cast upon humanity the plague of the undead. In their territories, endless hosts of demons and monsters have awakened after millennia, ready to wipe out humankind, weak and quarrelsome.
To defend them should be the Protectors of the Primeval Flame, the best-trained militia of the imperial army. Krun, their most valiant of all, has been entrusted with the task of recovering the mythical sword Naerling, which belonged to the Dark God, but the man’s soul is shaken by the betrayal of his lover.
The fate of the world is at stake, but everyone seems to think only of their personal goals. Rhys seeks a place in the world, Jude the respect of the other priestesses, Radamant wants revenge for the pain he felt as a child, and Krun hopes to forget the love of his life who betrayed him. Who will succeed in his quest while the age of humanity seems on the verge of collapse?

Series: Volume One of the Wandering Invader Series
Author: Thaine Chase
Genre: Fiction/ Fantasy
Format: eBook/Paperback
Publisher: Beau ideal Production
Pages: 446 pages
Publication Date: April 14, 2020
Synopsis: “EMPIRE OF ONE” by Thaine Chase is the first book in an epic adventure that evokes an ancient time of folklore and mysticism just out of reach of the naked eye.
Chase’s lyrical prose and fluid first-person narrative provide a deeply sensory experience, full of intense battle sequences and breathless chases through a well-crafted, and intricate backdrop of layered arcana.
The wandering invader has gone by the name Fintan, Sreng, and over 200 other identities in his life as he’s traveled through our history — always making sure his true name never be revealed. He’s survived The Great Flood, The Plague, The Inquisition, and every major war ever fought in the past 5,000 years.
He’s been a king, a slave, and every class status between the two. He knows how to win, lose, and draw — how to walk with guilt, fear, love, hate, and the burning hunger to feel the sweet release of death.
He is and has been many things — but if you ask him, who or what he is… he would answer proudly to the title; ‘FirBolg’, the very specific honorific a present day invading alien race will violently come to know and fear.
Dreamlike and surreal, EMPIRE OF ONE is a truly engaging tale, and is the launching pad for author Thaine Chase’s WANDERING INVADER SERIES.
Author Bio: Born in Atlantic, Canada — Thaine Chase’s love for word-craft began early in his childhood years, manifesting in the form of short stories.
Even though he was repeatedly encouraged by both his teachers and parents alike, Thaine resisted the temptation to walk the road of the ‘writer’, fearful an artistic life was too much of a risk in a world driven by job security and financial status, so instead, like others in his family, he chose a blue-collar career and the guaranteed paycheque.
Now, more than five decades later, Thaine has finally surrendered to his fondness for storytelling, and has decided to take a serious stab at fictional writing.
