Beneath the splendor of empires, there ever beats a poisoned heart.
In the city of Naemralda, a glorious capital of untold wealth and glamor, the people of Ceremai live in exile — content but loathed, and ever dreaming of the homeland they left behind. Only a scorned arbiter and failed priest, Braddock Tuzzein, knows the truth.
That the lands they seek, the lands their ancestors escaped at great cost, are home to a fallen god.
Hakaz, the Dark One, whose waking spirits nearly shattered Braddock’s mind with a single touch.
And now, the wolves of the fallen god are coming for them all.
A tale of grisly murders, monsters, and madness, The Father of Shadow and Death follows one man’s doomed quest to save his people — from the wrath of a vengeful god, and the traitors who hound his every step.
But woe to those who would break a man’s soul.
For the shame of the father begets wrath of the son.
Dar’shenna Cere Ma’z.
“Glory to the children of wrath.”
Tim McKay is an author, editor, and part-time writing professor from Ottawa, Canada. A lifelong pursuer of meaning and joy through the written word — with a small helping of thrills and adventure on the side.
He has degrees in history and public policy, along with a diploma in professional writing, but likes nothing more than hiking in the woods, running along the Rideau Canal, and connecting with the people he loves.
Oh, and reading a good book.
