Descent of Darkness, book two of the Demon Siege Trilogy is nearly finished. I am on a next to last run through with the book. When I am done going over it, I will be handing it off to my friend, who is the one person I know I can count on to read it and be honest with me. He will go over it, scribble notes about what he doesnt like, and then I will go over it and fix the things he noted... If I agree with him.
The down side to the second book, is that it is not as long as the first. At this time, it tops out at just under 61,000 words. I am sorely disappointed with myself over this. I like to put 70,000 as my minimum. I could fatten it up but I would only do so if I can add solid meat to the story. I would rather have a solid novel that is on the short side, than a longer novel with a lot of useless fat in the story.
Descent of Darkness
In Descent of Darkness, the demon, Arkaix, uses the Uguchi, a warrior tribe from across the desert to invade the Land of the Three Kings. With the power of an ancient scepter he attacks the City of Alexander with one goal in mind. To obtain the Logimaj Dagger. A weapon of sacrifice that will allow his demons to have their spiritual strength in the physical world. To create an army that will hunt down and kill the human race.
The Lords and Generals of Alexander have fled in the face of the invading Uguchi. One captain, Marshal Cleves, holds the army together as they defend the city. Hoping to keep the Uguchi Warriors at bay until help can arrive. Armies are coming rushing to their aid, and with them are the heroes from War of Demons.
Hel Bragen, the Giant, the priest, Levicus Kane, and the troubled Stray are joined by Curion, the angel who survived in the War of the Demons, and Marz Wolfe, the most feared killer to ever walk the land. They know what they will be facing. What they do not know, is if the Uguchi can be stopped.
I hope you have tried reading Hell in a Storm, and that you enjoyed it. I personally believe Descent of Darkness, will stand above its predecessor. However, with the first book being free, this will not be the case for the second book.
