Episode 1 – The Curse of Two Houses

Ainavel: Episode 1 – The Curse of Two Houses by Adam Wodyk

Ainavel: Episode 1  The first 40 pages of this episode were earlier published as a novelette. But now it has become a part of a new, longer episode 1.

As the old tale says, two powerful Houses ruled all of Erydan once. Their representatives protected northern borders from the creatures of the Chaos. The unknown evil destroyed this order many centuries ago.

Now the sun is dying and the Mysterious Void is circling around the Five Lands of Erydan. The chaos is rising. However, the most powerful descendants of the Two Houses don’t think about uniting their forces and still quarrel with each other.

If the prophecy is true – only the lost heirs from the noble Houses can change the fate of the world. A man from the House Alvedrion and a girl from the House Lohelin who are connected by a strong bond.

But mysterious curse keepers haunt all living descendants.

Young Ainavel, who sails with his father, an experienced Guardian of the Sea, lives like ordinary Sea Man. He doesn’t know yet that he will have to face these evil creatures one day. He also doesn’t know that he will be forced to embark on a dangerous adventure – a death game that will change him forever.

Necromancer Horror Story Free Today

Deadraiser, a necromancer horror story has twenty reviews on Amazon with an average rating of 4.6 stars.

Deadraiser: Part 1: Horror in Jordan’s Bank by Stephanie Lyons-Keeley & Wayne Keeley

Necromancer HorrorNecromancy is an ancient black magic used for the purposes of communing with the dead. It is believed that practitioners of the dark art may harness the ultimate power of life and death and raise the departed for their own nefarious, malevolent purposes. It also is alleged that a true necromancer may realize the ultimate gift of mortality.

DEADRAISER is the tale of a present-day practitioner who achieves what others have been unable to do for centuries — to raise the dead. The problem is that he must sacrifice innocent victims in order to maintain his power.

Enter Fanchon (Frankie) Manning, daughter of the late movie star Erika Manning. She is the ideal sacrificial lamb for the Necromancer’s perverse desires. The only thing that stands between the Necromancer and the girl is Christopher McGuire, a lost soul who long ago has ceased believing in anything. In order to save the child, he must somehow rediscover his faith and summon the courage to take on the darkest, most sinister being imaginable.

Amazon Review for this Necromancer Horror, Deadraiser:

Dark twisted tale of horror! Recommended!
I picked this book up on the recommendation of a fellow reader and its FANTASTIC. Old school horror, with a sophisticated well-told prose style made this an extremely enjoyable read. Im not normally a “horror guy” although I have read my fair share over the years growing up in nigh school- this was TOP CLASS entertainment. It’s a neat combination of modern-day celebrity culture mixture with old school, solid storytelling. The haunted graveyards, the bizarre undead, and some great character work make it a real page-turner.

Imagine TALES OF THE CRYPT mixed with a mainstream Stephen King 80’s horror book, and in that mix you will find DEADRAISER. I eagerly await Book Two in this necromancer series – I’M HOOKED!
