EULOGY

by D.T. Conklin

This Dark, Epic Fantasy is now available at
Amazon
.

"They’ll stand amongst the corpses of the
beloved." That’s what he said at the end, though I never considered myself
one of the beloved, not at the beginning. I was simply a terrified woman then,
but now… now I understand. Maybe I wish I didn’t.

Void take me, this is so demon-damned hard.

In the beginning, he loved me. Irony, it twists and twirls
like a lover’s song, but this is hardly a lover’s tale. It’s one of blades and
blood. I wish I could’ve seen it sooner, but that would’ve been too easy. I
wouldn’t have learned to love him.

5-Star Review:
"Conklin writes with a poet's
flair, using minimal words to deliver maximum dramatic impact. Visceral,
shocking, and deeply imaginative,
Eulogy
pushes to the edge . . . and
then dives right over it. An unapologetic, no-holds-barred descent into
madness--yet there is method in it. Readers with the fortitude to take the
plunge stand to be rewarded with what may go down as one of the most ambitious,
redefining forays into epic fantasy of all time." – Eldon Thompson, Author
of
The Divine Talisman

5-Star Review:
"Some epic fantasies are
straightforward tales of magic and adventure, where a band of heroes fights and
defeats an evil overlord.
Eulogy
is not such a tale. Conklin's book
overflows with magic and adventure, but the book is a puzzle -- a maze of
secrets and wonders, implications and hidden meanings. A treat for readers who
love a challenge!" – Tom Crosshill, Nebula-nominated Author
