About the author
Daniel Mitchell
6 books11 followersSlayer of dragons and demons, charmer of princesses, hero to all mankind...all of these and more are some of the many greatly exaggerated and often fabricated accomplishments of the author.

Now 29 at the time of writing The Vlishgnath Chronicles, Daniel resides in Wooster, Ohio with his significant other and her overweight cat. The Vlishgnath Chronicles is his first published work, both online and in paperback form. His hobbies (aside from reading and writing) include video games, Dungeons & Dragons, and enjoying good beer with great friends.

I am a huge high fantasy fan, and an avid Dungeons and Dragons lover as well, so I whole-heartedly recommend this book to anyone who shares those interests. It's like the most exciting D&D campaign imagined put to print, with incredible action, fully realized and believable characters, and true satisfaction in the plot at the end.
Roningus is an at times brutal hero, one who may be flawed and less forgiving than others, but he is that much more engaging for it, and he'll have you rooting for him the whole time.
Whether you enjoyed the author's first book, The Vlishgnath Chronicles, or not, I encourage you to give this prequel a chance. You don't need to have read the first book, since these events follow that protagonist's father long before that story even begins, but having read it myself, there were certain characters and reveals that had even more meaning for me. If you do read this, I guarantee you'll be seeking out The Vlishgnath Chronicles next to see where the story goes, because you will not be able to leave this world behind without a fight.
