Harbinger of Darkness Press Release

Harbinger-of-Darkness-FinalCvrFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A TALENTED THIEF BECOMES A “HARBINGER OF DARKNESS” FOR ONE FANTASY KINGDOM

Ravens are birds of ill omen—cross this one only if you’re willing to deal with the consequences…

Coming October 3, 2017 is Harbinger of Darkness, a fantasy-adventure novel by Richard C. White, author of the StarWarp Concepts titles Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination, For a Few Gold Pieces More, Troubleshooters Incorporated: Night Stalkings, and The Chronicles of the Sea Dragon Special.

In Harbinger of Darkness, White introduces readers to Raven and Perrin. One is an accomplished thief, and an enigma. Never seen in the light of day, no one is quite sure where she goes or where she hides the bounty of her crimes. The other is a bookseller’s daughter, trapped by expectations and circumstances but with dreams of exploring the lands she’s only read about. And both share a great secret: That Perrin and Raven are the same person.

A magic pendant allows Perrin to disguise herself, keeping her other life as Raven hidden from everyone, even her closest allies. But after the theft of a mystic gem, which unbeknownst to her is the lynchpin for a cruel king’s upcoming military campaign, both of her worlds are upended, with potentially fatal consequences for friends, family…and Perrin herself.

With bounty hunters and the king’s personal assassins pursuing her darker half, Perrin finds herself swept her into a conspiracy against the throne she despises. Add in the complication of an apprentice thief she never wanted to train, and the odds of Perrin living long enough to pursue her dreams are steadily shrinking!

Cover art is provided by fantasy painter John Stone.
