Stefan Coleman | 65 comments When Darkness falls upon Learsi,
and nightmares take on form,
ten friends unite a shattered kingdom,
and forgotten Hope returns.

Trading his freedom for the freedom of his crew, Joshian sets forth from Ildice with news that could shock the world to its core. Taking a grateful reprieve at home, he learns of another truth that shakes him even more, yet puts things more into perspective.

Still, a man of honor and a man of his word, Joshian continues to Vandor, the capital of Ebaven, and there finds mixed blessings in gaining new allies and alliegnces... but is forced to say goodbye as some are lost. With his task done, he returns to Ildice to complete his service, but there is hit with the greatest loss of them all.

Elsewhere, the enemy’s forces are beginning to show, but the old warriors rise again. The hunt has begun.

Hey all, here's Book 2 of my Firebrand series, and frankly, I think it's even better than the first, and I am really excited to be releasing it. I also updated my maps, and now the world is even bigger, and the lore is much more, and I have a lot of little Easter eggs... yeah, I'm really excited, so check it out, and I hope you enjoy!

Raymond Jr. | 19 comments Congratulations on the release of your second book in the Firebrand series! The story sounds gripping, and the expanded world and lore are intriguing. I can't wait to delve into it and join the adventure.

I'd also like to introduce my own dark fantasy novel, "A Grey Beginning" by Raymond G. Bruderman Jr. It's set in a world plagued by a sinister force known as The Grey, which spreads like a plague, consuming everything in its path. This darkness manifests from the sins of mankind, and as it advances, the realm finds itself in a perilous game of thrones, with power-hungry rulers battling for supremacy and control.

The story follows a diverse cast of characters, each with their own past and hidden motives, as they navigate treacherous terrain and confront the impending doom of The Grey. Together, they must forge a path towards a new era of enlightenment and hope, breaking free from the shackles of their own misdeeds.

If you're interested in a dark fantasy filled with intricate politics, strong characters, and a plot that emphasizes the power of the human spirit to overcome obstacles, I invite you to check out "A Grey Beginning." The book is available on Amazon in both Kindle and print formats.

I hope you enjoy "A Grey Beginning" as much as I'm sure I'll enjoy your Firebrand series. If you read my book, I would truly appreciate it if you could leave a review and share your thoughts. Let's support each other in our literary journeys and celebrate the power of storytelling.

Happy reading!

Best wishes,
Raymond G. Bruderman Jr.

Raymond Jr. | 19 comments I was trying to find your book, but I came across a different series with six books that seem to be from another author. Could you please provide a direct link to your book so I can purchase it and dive into the world you've created? I'm really looking forward to reading it!


Stefan Coleman | 65 comments Hey, so, I totally thought that adding the book would include the page link, and I was totally wrong, so here's my book link :D

Raymond Jr. | 19 comments Thank you for responding. I wanted to express my admiration for your cover art, which is absolutely stunning and captures the mood I was aiming for in my own book. Initially, I went for a medieval-style cover design that I personally liked, but after receiving feedback from readers, I decided to opt for a simpler, high-contrast version featuring a gold helmet. Research indicated that this would be more likely to attract clicks. However, I am still a fan of vintage styles overall. Creating the cover art was a lot of work for me, as I undertook everything from writing and editing to designing and even creating a map. I am curious about how you went about creating your own cover art.

Darkocean What I don't understand is why you have your book up on Amazon and (maybie) not on goodreads, I'm kind of annoyed about this. Might want to link the goodreads page too, it'll save us time so readers don't have to search. Thank you! I think authors should also link their websites too so readers can buy directly from them (pdf - print on demand. Much love, Jess
