REVIEWS
” … Readers who like their stories steeped in a different form of post-apocalyptic flavor will find City of Locked Doors nicely developed in this compelling blend of horror, fantasy, and survival story.” Diane Donovan – Midwest Book Reviews.
” … The action scenes are incredible, and the writing overall slants heavily in the literary direction. This quality elevates it from a plot and characters better suited for a comic book and makes it a worthy, inspired, and strikingly innovative read. Highly recommended. …” Readers Favorite -Jamie Michele.
” … There is a strong sense of mystery, adventure, survival, and constant danger. All of which make this book a quicker read.” Goodreads reviewer
Four hundred years ago a plague befell the world. It warped the bodies of all organic things and drove both man and beast rabid during the night. Law and order vanished in a matter of days, along with most of the human race.
Years passed and from this madness rose the Tyrants, a brutal god-like sect of individuals who could enforce their will on the surviving dregs of humanity. With their tyranny, they brought order back into the world and established settlements. A convoluted semblance of civilization began aided by the magic of Necromancy, to raise those butchered in the night, and Hemomancy, to heal their injuries.
In Umbras, domain of the Tyrant Lock-And-Key, all humans are imprisoned at night where they cannot harm others or the city. Beyond that however, Lock-And-Key does little to interfere with the lives of her subjects. They live and bide with a tentative happiness in the enforced peace her presence brings, until, in the dark of one night, a stranger comes to Umbras.
