Upcoming Books: The Madman of Elkriahl

*  *  *

THE LIGHT OF THE MOON shines eerily through the mist, sending its silver beams down to reflect off of the rocky spires of the wasteland of Elkriahl. The seagulls cry as they circle overhead, riding the endless current of wind as they dance through the sky. Far below, a terrible, haunting moan echoes up from beneath the fog. Hidden deeply somewhere in those labyrinthine passages, a wraith-like figure wanders endlessly through the night, shrieking and cackling like a restless ghost... 

Gretta is a simple peasant girl, having never seen the world beyond her small village.  But when the prince goes missing and his uncle is crowned king, her world changes forever.  For months, her village has been haunted by a dangerous madman- but after a startling revelation, Gretta ignores the warnings of her family and neighbors and sets out with him on a quest that could change the fate of the entire nation.  But how can one girl and one lunatic face the many dangers that stand in their way?

Enter a world of magic, deception, and trickery in this exciting new tale from Emmarayn Redding.  You won't want to put it down!

While this book is sill in it's editing stage, I thought I might share some concept art with you.  While I enjoyed doing this piece, we eventually decided to go with a different style of artwork.  Still, I am very fond of it.  Let me know what you think!

  2. Hmmm, the madman adds and intriguing element. Something like the WIngfeather Saga's Peet the sockman, I wonder?

    1. Perhaps- though I've never read the Wingfeather Saga, so I don't know for sure. I'll have to check the series out!
