Overview

A PROMISE TO HONOUR THE DEAD BECOMES A BATTLE FOR THE LIVING. When young warrior Arnald Oberlin and elven sheriff Kysha Naberyn arrive in Wyvernmont to lay their commander to rest, whispers of a grim discovery stir the town. Two boys, slain under mysterious circumstances. An expedition into the wilds. An ancient ruin steeped in silence and shadow. What they uncover there will awaken a hunger long buried-the Upyr, a blood-thirsty scourge capable of turning friend into foe and the innocent into monsters. As the siege of Wyvernmont begins, Arnald and Kysha must unite trolls, fae, and townsfolk in a desperate stand. But even if they survive the night, the true heart of the darkness still waits in the depths. To destroy it, they will have to return to where it all began... and face the choice between safety and sacrifice, light and oblivion.

Reviews

Pit Guard had me riveted from the first sentence to the very last word of the story. Readers are immersed in a world that is meticulously designed with a clear idea of place - the lowlands, the forests, and the runes. Robert E Kreig knows how to create the terrifying and the exciting elements in a story, dropping premonitions that keep you reading on, expecting something terrible to happen, building suspense and tension as the conflict grows. The characters are engaging and fully developed, complex and unique in their nature. The storytelling is masterful, and the writing is stellar. I enjoyed the descriptive prose, the tight writing, the confident narrative voice, and the sparkling dialogue. This book delivers the kind of entertainment you get in epic fantasy tales and leaves you wanting more. Romuald Dzemo for Readers' Favorite
