The Curse of the Raven

by Nicholas Kotar

Overview

In a world ruled by a demon, one man's choice can break the world... or save it.
Llun the smith is an artist at heart, content to make the most beautiful swords, nails, and horseshoes in his city. But when his smithy is visited by the grand inquisitor of the secret police, his peaceful life is at an end.

He is offered a perfect job–to be the exclusive smith of the new order. Endless luxury, good food, and the freedom to create–it's everything he ever wanted. But it comes with a price. He has to make a metal flask as a gift to the new ruler of his city. Seized by a strange inspiration, he instead creates an object of great power that can heal thousands... or lead to a war that would never end.

The Curse of the Raven is a epic fantasy novella sequel to The Song of the Sirin. Early readers have called it "The Lord of the Rings meets 1984." If you enjoy creative twists on mythology and classic fantasy, you'll love this edge-of-your seat adventure.

About the Author

I've been fascinated by fairy tales and fantasy since before I could read. My earliest memories involve riding the backs of wolves and running away from hags riding pestles. My mother has repeatedly tried to explain to me that these things never actually happened, but I still don't believe her.

When I was old enough to write, my friends and I created an alternate version of Narnia, called Wreathlea (I don't know? It had a lot of wreaths maybe?), with a Stone Witch instead of a White Witch, and an enchanted princess who had been turned into a Golden Evergreen. Instead of playing with toys, we would go outside and look for cloud formations in the shape of lions (Aslan, you know). Except in our version, he was called Seaze. You can imagine what a silly picture we made, standing outside, staring at the sky, screaming "Seaze! Where are you?" with all our might...

Other derivative masterpieces of childhood included "Duels of Space" which started as a standard Star Wars ripoff but eventually included ninjas riding the backs of warrior bears...

Come to think of it, not much has changed. I still have warriors riding bears in my books!
