An avid fan of the fantasy genre, Eric K. Barnum finally released his first book, Dar Tania, in September 2016. Set in a novel fantasy world pulled between magical and divine powers, Eric presents the Forsaken Isles, a world not too unlike our own. As the druid Brook said in Dar Tania II: Set's Dream, 'forsaken' because the people of the isles fled from their devastated homes, never to go back.
Eric writes from Virginia when not otherwise engaged in his career as an analyst, hiking with his three daughters, or reading. With a deep love of fantasy works, and inspired by modern fantasy authors like Raymond E. Feist, David Eddings, and Brent Weeks, Eric hopes to take the familiar and present new ideas about how and why, in a world with magic, gods still matter. The paladin is a particular favorite in all Eric's stories. Their relationship with priests, dragons, avatars, and necromancy in particular fill the pages of the Forsaken Isles.

Eric K. Barnum's Everyday Angels is anything but an everyday affair. It was an exploration of magic and metaphysical powers in his already spellbinding world, filled with a fair amount of lore, some academic presentation, and of course, an encounter the likes of which you've probably never seen in your time reading fantasy.
Everyday Angels, part of Barnum's Creation novellas, feels at times like it is introducing the mechanics and logic of a certain subset of character, while it pushes a narrative that's potentially tragic and hopeful. Paladins in the Forsaken Isles rely on angelic power—a heavenly chorus—to instill them with martial prowess. Far from feeling like an entry from a player's handbook, though, this bite-sized tale introduces a deadly foe that's much more than just set dressing.
I was very happy to dive into this story. I finished it in one sitting, and I imagine it would be difficult to stop yourself once you get started!
