Mortal Conquests of the Dark Ages – The Wayfarers depicts legendary creatures rebelling against the encroachment of humankind. Their struggle is a desperate attempt to save their races from simply becoming fairy tales of the humans who fear them. There is hope for some, but not all will prevail. Medieval Britain is in turmoil. The governing council of Wynelvenest has been overthrown, and the new elf king has declared war upon all of humanity. Poverty, famine, and uprisings plague the land.
This is the compelling story of a young boy who must survive in a world that history will forever deem as "The Dark Ages". Hezekiah, "Zeke", of Dumnonia is a simple farm boy who must flee his home after accidentally killing his cruel stepfather. Wanted, Zeke's flight takes him to the wondrous city of Haven's Rest where his rotten luck steadily worsens when he again breaks the law by freeing a halfling sailor from the hangman's noose. Fleeing the city, the two outlaws begin to gather about them several unlikely wayward companions as they travel across the realms. Together, the wayfarers will discover the true meaning of friendship.
Outskirts Press Review Team
“…a terrific writing style. You have obviously done a significant amount of planning and preparation in crafting your work. Your prose is nicely written with details that capture the reader. Right from the start your plot was very engaging. You do a nice job of slowly making your way through the story with details and a certain voice that allows your reader to really interact with the characters (who are all round and very nicely developed). It is obvious that you have put much thought and preparation into your work…”
“… I always love it when I leave a story feeling like I know the characters. This is true for your prose. So many authors rush through their stories without really developing them. Not you. Your book read like a movie in my mind. You have crafted a quality piece of writing. Bravo!”
