A Week of Illness

I find myself struck down by some dastardly variant of the common cold this week, and as such am a little more scatter-brained than usual. As such, I thought it best to hold off on any heavy topics until next week (thus also giving myself more time to work on my studies, and on my upcoming books). So instead of my usual postulation on some matter of writing or another, I though I would grace your screens with three synopses. The first is for my already released work, the second is for the first book in a series of novellas, and the last is for my largest upcoming work, Erelisia.
I hope you all enjoy this.

An Introduction to Doranath

Serving as a reader's introductory guidebook to the fantasy world of Doranath, An Introduction to Doranath, is the first published work by N N B Clarke. In this brief volume, the reader will be introduced to eight significant historical figures of Doranath, from Estalethon the Ancient to Gorren Dasker and the Prisoner. The reader has the opportunity to experience a crucial moment in each figure's life, whether it be a decision that determines the salvation or ruination of their people, or the death of a father. Take a step into the unknown, and begin to uncover the secrets waiting in Doranath.

Karelmar: Hearthkin

Life is never easy, no matter what anyone says. Dana learnt this early. With no parents, no home, and only the clothes upon her back, Dana Hearthkin has almost know the world to be a harsh mistress. Even though luck seems to always be on the side of the orphan thief, she knows that it can all come tumbling down in a moment. When a heist with her only friend goes horribly wrong, the only person that the young thief knows she can turn to is an officer of the law. Will she be given a second chance, or do we all only get one?

Erelisia

Book One of the Elmuthian Saga, Erelisia is a tale of dark gods, treachery, and the indefatigable human spirit. For more that one thousand years, the Erelisian Empire has reigned over Sarentis. However, with the peace and complacency that comes with such longevity, corruption has begun to spread through the echelons of the Empire. Cestius, heir to the Imperial Throne, has been sent to the western borders of the Empire to investigate these matters of corruption within the administration. He soon finds himself embroiled in events that look to shake the foundations of the Empire itself. As a dark god rises, and he faces monstrous foes, Cestius finds himself doubting not only his faith in his gods, but also his faith in those closest to him. At the same time, the youngest legate in the history of the Imperial Legions must find a way to aid his prince, whilst coming to terms with his own destiny.

While corruption and political intrigue threaten the stability of the Capital, a dark god's army is approaching from the west. If Cestius and the legate are to succeed in saving their homeland, they must discover the truth behind the Empire's corruption, and persuade their elders to either accept the changes necessary, or replace them for the good of their people.

There we have it, folks. I apologise for the brevity of this weeks instalment, and I hope to be back in good health by next week.
