Title: To Kill a Necromancer
Author: C. M. Alongi
Genre: epic fantasy novella
Main character description (short): Jinua is a young, headstrong woman sent onto her first mission by a god.
Synopsis:
In a world of greed, gods, and monsters, paladins are chosen to do what no mortal human can. Granted divine attributes of their chosen deity, they protect the broken fragments of human civilization from any and all threats. Often from necromancers, those born with the ability to speak with and raise the dead. Such a power inevitably corrupts and turns each and every necromancer evil.
Right?
Jinua has just received her first assignment as paladin: to execute a necromancer terrorizing a small town with an undead army. But what should be a straight-forward mission turns complicated when another necromancer reveals himself as an ally, flying in the face of everything Jinua’s ever heard about his kind. Can she trust him to help her on her quest, or is he an even greater threat?
Brief Excerpt 250 words:
“For the grace and glory of Jadiim! With him on our side we cannot fail!”
The townsfolk didn’t just cheer, they roared at her. It was a feeling more potent than holy fire in her veins.
“Those of you who wish to stand and fight with me, gather whatever weapons you have and meet me back here in two hours,” she ordered. “Everyone else, pack enough food and supplies for five days, just to be safe. Albin will lead you away. I’ll send a runner to get you when Enejel is dead.”
“And if you fail?” he asked.
She gave him a flat look. “Then you keep going to the next town, and we wish better luck to the next paladin Jadiim sees fit to send.”
Why should readers buy this book (50 words max)?
It’s a short novella—quick and easy to read—so you get a good idea of my writing without having to sink a bunch of time or money into it.
And it’s a fun, crazy, bloody ride!
