Description: [edit] [history]

In a prosperous world, danger lurks in the shadows. From the depths of the void come horrors of insatiable hunger who are the eternal enemy of Order. They attack, knowing their prey could not match them, for the ancient warnings were forgotten long ago.

As the shadows of danger loom, Jonas Espian stands, a misfit and distrusted by those around him. His quiet and distant nature conceals a power that he has wasted. His childhood friend, and secret love Florencia, is the one constant in his otherwise dull life which seems to go nowhere. But after a wonderful night, everything changes for a long time.

As the stakes become ever higher, Jonas must harness his dormant abilities to victor against a horrifying doom.

"Hiskandrios Genesis" is a First Person POV fantasy/dark-fantasy (depending on your tolerance scale) story about a tragic man who must bare the weight of responsibility he never wanted and become a demon hunter. The setting is the fantasy world I created over 20 years ago.

In this story, you can expect an extensive list of characters, some of whom has a large role to play, while other fade into irrelevancy. It is taking place in a well-crafted and intricate world, full of varied interests and conflicting ideas. Add to that dark conspiracies, coupled with romantic entanglements, featuring royalty, powerful wizards, noble knights, along with graphic violence here and there. I've also sprinkled in subtle hints for some nice payoffs for those who pay attention.

A word of caution, though. Don't expect a quick ride - this is a slow burn, a story that takes time to develop. There's no single enemy to defeat but a huge overarching foe and woven into the large narrative are many smaller conflicts which the characters must overcome.

I also tend to change up the cover image quite a lot, I find it enjoyable to try with different styles.
