Description

The once-great city of Gastar stands in ruins following centuries of war by undead monsters driven by an evil temple.  Victory cost the people of the knowledge to defeat another enemy, Zermon, ruler of hell, who seeks to extend his realm by annihilation of the few people left.  With the help of a sympathetic ancient dragon, volunteer fighters from the past war, and the arrival of a teen assassin named Shevata who is known to Zermon, they combine efforts for the existence of the people of Gastar.

Story Behind The Book

I knew I wanted to write a story about a woman who nearly drowns and finds this fantasy world--the afterlife. In as much as she finds peace there, she also discovers a darkness that returns with her. I wanted it to be a mixture of action, magic, and horror.
