by
J Drew Brumbaugh
Genre:
Epic Fantasy
Gant
is a commoner, forbidden from learning swordsmanship. He trains in
spite of the law and ends up branded an outlaw. However fate
intervenes while Gant is on the run and soon he is embroiled in an
odyssey with forces of darkness that can only be vanquished with help
from his friends, not all of whom are human. An epic that delivers
the best in the tradition of classic fantasy.
Child
of Evil
Tirumfall
Trilogy Book 2
The
story started with "Fall of the Western Kings". Now "Child
of Evil" continues the odyssey of Gant, the hero who killed Varg
with his magical sword Valorious and who must now use his strength
and cunning to find and neutralize the child born of evil. This child
is prophesized to lead the demons of the western kingdoms to victory
over the people of the east. Other characters accompany Gant to Ferd,
the city where the child will be born. Amelia is a shape-changer who
flies to the west to do reconnaissance only to be captured and
imprisoned. Pris, the emperor and blossoming wizard, worries about
the evil forces and knows the child cannot be allowed to unite the
demonic powers. His untested magic will be key to stopping the
impending doom. Dalphnia, Gant’s wife, is a woodland nymph who can
control the trees of the forest and is determined to see her husband
come through this journey alive. Can this unlikely group intervene in
time to stop the child and the carnage that is sure to follow? Will
it mean killing the child? Resolving this moral dilemma while
outwitting the demons and getting back to the safety of their homes
makes for a rousing adventure. "Child of Evil" is the
second book in J. Drew Brumbaugh’s fantasy series, The Tirumfall
Triology.
I
live in northeast Ohio where I write sci-fi, fantasy, and suspense
novels, along with a few short stories. Mostly I write stories I
think I'd like to read with characters that are interesting enough
that readers want to find out what happens to them. I also spend time
teaching and training at the karate dojo my wife and I founded,
building a Japanese garden in the back yard, and taking walks in the
woods with our dog. I have six novels in print, the most recent being
"Bula Bridge," a collection of short stories, and a
co-authored children’s book. I continue to work on my next book and
seem to always have several stories in various stages of completion.
GUEST POST
What can we expect from you in the
future?
The
third and last book in the fantasy trilogy that starts with “Fall
of the Western Kings” and continues in “Child of Evil” is my
current project. The first draft is done and round one of the
revisions and rewrite is underway. It will bring a sweeping and
maybe surprising conclusion to the stalemate between good and evil
that has found only temporary resolution in Books One and Two. I am
enjoying working on it and, as has been the case in past novels,
things are turning out differently than I envisioned when I started.
My gut tells that it will be the best book of the series.
Do
you have any “side stories” about the characters?
I
haven’t written any side stories about any of the main characters
yet. I do have a short story set in the same world that includes a
very minor character that will appear briefly in Book Three. I must
admit that I have several pages of notes that might one day turn into
side stories about some of the major characters. Perhaps someday
I’ll write them.
