Into Darkness is the first book in the epic fantasy series The Godstone War, set in the engrossing world of Galawi, from fantasy author Marcus J Black.
In the land of Caladom the gods are a very real and cruel presence, bringing destruction to any that dare to break their law. For generations the people have served the demands and whims of divine authority without question, under the constant yoke of fear. A young girl runs from slavery. An act, deemed to be a crime, leads to the destruction of a village. It seems that once again the gods will require appeasement. For good or ill, there are those who stand firm and only the balance of power can shift, as desire for revenge sends ripples throughout the land.
Marcus J Black (MJB) was born in 1977 in Aldershot, England, in the back of a military vehicle. He is passionate about writing, art and the fantasy genre. His other interests include history (both modern and ancient), myths and legends, chess, philosophy, science (particularly physics), martial arts and boxing. He has been a soldier, doorman, truck driver, manager and engineer and holds a master’s degree, which looks nice in its frame. MJB is a fantasy author and creator of the world of Galawi, a place of intrigue, mystery and magic. You can contact him at marcusjblack@live.co.uk
This book has an average of 5 stars... I looked at who had reviewed it and what do you know? It was the author. Unfortunately I have read this book and I can't agree with him. I found that it dragged on. The characters just did things, there wasn't anything for the reader to think about as things just happened with the "friends" I bought the book for £1.53 and you would have to pay me a lot more than that to read the next one.
