It’s my honour to be able to bring you a double hit of bookish goodness. A fantastic cover reveal and news of a brand new story that will be appearing on the Unearthed Stories platform.
Before we get to the cover lets first dive into a what DB has in store for us
Blurb: Callus’ second life is a life of blood. With a hunger only matched by his bitterness, he makes his way from the trenches of war to a source of blood that may drive a splinter into his resolve to make the world pay for its crimes. Cursed and shunned from the rest of humanity, this half-bred tribesman may find a home in God’s house; he may find restraint, he may fall deeper into despair, but he will find his way to a new path of blood.
Now what makes this and the other tales you’ll find on Unearthed Stories unique is that they interactive stories where the choices you the reader make will influence the outcome.
