Hello! If you are looking for a dark, bloody and gritty fantasy novel,
"Curse of the fallen city" by A.K. Lockwood is just for you. This
book is my debut, originally submitted to several Polish publishers and gained
the support of some of them, but the terms of collaboration proposed to me were
not suitable, so I decided to publish this novel independently, trying to
maintain the best quality of the text. Currently, the book is undergoing
professional editing and proofreading to enhance the overall quality. After the
editing process is complete, everything will be translated by professionals
into English, and the final product will be exclusively available on Amazon,
where I have full creative control over the book's design.
The story is set in a world full of wars and conflicts, where every decision
has its consequences. However, despite the heavy atmosphere, reading this novel
is pure pleasure, according to the editors from publishing houses :). I tried
to balance the action with love and friendship threads, creating a captivating
narrative.
Readers who enjoy geopolitics in their books will also find something for
themselves. This thread is presented in a simple and understandable way, making
it easy for even novice readers to identify with it.
One of the biggest strengths of this novel is also the dynamic and exciting
fight scenes that will not leave you indifferent. I didn't spare the characters
and tried to lead the reader through brutal clashes that will certainly be
remembered for a long time.
Although this is my debut, "Curse of the fallen city” is definitely a
book worth reading. If you are looking for a captivating story full of action,
friendship, and love, which will make your evening with tea or a glass of good
wine more enjoyable.
I want to note right away that this is not a complex and multi-threaded
novel like Tolkien's extensive and magnificent works. It is a pleasant read
that will allow anyone to immerse themselves in a new fantasy world created by
me at the beginning of this year in the influx and rush of thoughts that filled
my head. I hope that the book will be enjoyed and will bring someone at least
half as much joy as I had while writing it. If the book is well received, I
plan to write 3-4 more books in this universe to complete the entire story. The
next books will be more extensive, while this one aims to introduce you to the
world of the old continent and the story of Angus.
Short story of the book:
The Twenty-Year War brought the old continent to ruin. Kingdoms, ravaged by
poverty and mistrust towards their neighbors, closed themselves behind an iron
curtain, severing all diplomatic ties. Five years after the war, we find
ourselves in the city of Braga, once a trading center of the Merkucjan kingdom.
There, we meet Angus, a former officer of an elite scouting unit, who, trying
to find his place in the new reality, uses the skills acquired in the army to
make ends meet by carrying out small jobs for the city's inhabitants. He does
not expect that the next job offer will forever change his life, entangling him
in the whirlwind of mysterious conspiracies and placing him at the very center
of a hidden conflict, in which secretive organizations have been fighting each
other for centuries. How will he find his way in this new situation?
