The epic fantasy Shadow Swarm just released on June 2nd!
GUEST POST
Author D. Robert Pease has dropped by to introduce Shadow Swarm, his new epic fantasy. This is a tale in the classic epic fantasy mode, set in a unique world with a large cast of memorable characters caught up in an epic struggle. We’ll let Mr. Pease tell you about it.
Since I was about fourteen or fifteen, I’ve devoured fantasy books – great, epic tomes with fantastical creatures, vast wild landscapes and spellbinding magic. These are by far my favorite reads. From The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, The Sword of Shannara, The Chronicles of Amber and The Dragon Rider’s of Pern series, through modern books like The Mistborn Trilogy, and even some kids fantasy like Percy Jackson, or The Ranger’s Apprentice, I can’t get enough of worlds that are wholly different than the places we live in.
My latest release, Shadow Swarm, is my entry into the canon of epic fantasy. This is the book I poured all my time and energy into for the past ten years: drawing maps, developing languages, outlining timelines, building detailed calendars, designing city plans – everything I could do to make the world come alive for me, and hopefully for you, the reader. I don’t claim to be up there with any of the great books I listed above, but I did everything I could to make this the best book possible, and to write the kind of story that I love to read. So if this sounds like your kind of book too, please check it out.
It’s available as an eBook, or in print as a hardcover or a paperback. Also, for the next month, I’m hosting a giveaway over on Goodreads for 4 paperback copies. Click the link below to enter:

AVAILABLE HERE:.
Aberthol Nauile doesn’t know that he once led legions in a war that had raged since the dawn of time, against an enemy that could not be killed. He doesn’t know that he rode on a dragon with his father, or that his mother died while giving birth to him. He doesn’t know that he once saved his great, great, great grandfather by defeating the black enemy on the slopes of a volcano.
Aberthol doesn’t know that he beheld the creation of the world, as his grandfather eight generations before took the planet, ravaged by a war of the gods, and began anew.
All he knows is that he awoke in a coffin deep within a tomb, and now the whole world thinks he is their savior. All he really wants to know is his name, and why he keeps hearing voices in his head.
