Description

<h2>Taliesin Weaver thought that he had saved himself and his friends when he defeated the witch Ceridwen. He was wrong.</h2><h3><i>He always thought of evil as embodied in external threats that he could overcome in combat. Soon he will discover that the worst evil has been inside of him all along....</i></h3><p>Tal’s girlfriend is in a coma for which he holds himself responsible. A close friend, suffering from a past-life memory trauma similar to Tal's, is getting worse, not better. Morgan Le Fay is still lurking around and has an agenda Tal can’t figure out. Supernatural interruptions in his life are becoming more frequent, not less so, despite his expectations. In fact, Tal learns that something about his unique nature amplifies otherworldly forces in ways he never imagined were possible, ways that place at risk everyone close to him.</p><p>Tal and his allies must face everything from dead armies to dragons. As soon as they overcome one menace, another one is waiting for them. More people are depending on Tal than ever; he carries burdens few adults could face, let alone a sixteen-year-old like himself. Yet somehow Tal at first manages to handle everything the universe throws at him.</p><p>What Tal can’t handle is the discovery that a best friend, almost a brother, betrayed him, damaging Tal’s life beyond repair. For the first time, Tal feels a darkness within him, a darkness which he can only barely control...assuming he wants to. He’s no longer sure. Maybe there is something to be said for revenge, and even more to be said for taking what he wants. After all, he has the power...</p><p> </p><h2><u>Can Tal stop himself before he destroys everyone he has sworn he will protect? Scroll up to buy a copy and find out!</u></h2>

<a title="Goodreads Review" href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/109638652">Raev Gray says:</a><br />I was given the delight and honor of being an editor for Erekos--during a very busy period. I spent two weeks kicking myself because I had to read a bit each night when I wasn't working too much instead of just sitting down and blazing through it. I think the fact that I had to read it a little bit of a time made me appreciate it more, though. <br /><br />This is high fantasy with zombies. If I hadn't had people raving at me about it, I probably would have passed on it, because I don't like high fantasy and I don't like zombies. <br /><br />I loved Erekos. Absolutely loved it. The author has no right to be so damn good at what she does. The prose is absolutely stunning, and the story is told in such a way that the large ensemble cast with their myriad subplots weave seamlessly in and around one another. I thought the beginning was really damn good--and then it just kept getting better, right until the end. <br /><br />If you want a book to savor and to think about, Erekos is definitely that book. It's got action without going overboard, an impeccably built, complex world, characters you really want to get to know, and a prose style that's absolutely beautiful. The book walks the fine line between poetic and cerebral, and it does it extremely well. I almost never give five-star reviews, but I have to give one to Erekos.
