Lyth: Hymn of the Flesh

by Harrison Roberts

Deep within the pits of Lyth, a world of forgotten legends, a flame flickers in the darkness. The hungering dead awake once more to call out to those who would heed their twisted will, waking the slumbering ancient below. From the ashes of the rising souls, a demon of flesh and steel, stands alone before the might of the old world and those who would consume the whole of Lyth for the glory of their dark deity.

About the author

Harrison Roberts, a native of Charlotte North Carolina, moved to San Francisco CA four years ago with only a backpack and a few sets of clothing. At the age of 22 he was almost on the streets due to financial issues and a failing relationship. Working odd jobs and spending most of his free time reading fantasy novels, losing himself in role playing games such as magic and war machine, Harrison became obsessed with his idea of what fantasy was. When asked if he was a advocate for the fantasy genre, Harrison often would say that he was interested in the possibility of what it could become. The cold isolation of living in a big city and daily struggle to provide for himself fueled his escapism until it began to take shape. Demons, legends of early man, lost wisdom of a dark tongue twisted together in his thoughts and dreams taking on the form of Lyth. A violent world of old gods, war and the rending of souls from the human heart. For two years Harrison spent most of his time writing down the tales of the creatures he had spawned in his subconscious, forming what later became known as Broken Tusk, the platform from which he would launch his visions of steel and flesh. Today Broken Tusk is a group of individuals who bring fantasy to the dark corners of early myth and explore the uncharted realms of forgotten lore. Lyth: Hymn of the Flesh is the first of five books to be released, with the second planned to be published later in 2012. Today, Harrison lives comfortably in San Francisco, working as a retail manager during the day and as a writer in his free time. Considered to still be a young writer at the age of 25, Harrison has made the first step in a long journey to bring the fantasy genre into the shadows to seek out the abominations that lurk in the darkness.
