Prophet of a Blind God

Psychological fantasy

This is the kind of fantasy writing that mature fans of the genre (i.e. myself) are always searching for. I don't know what it is that makes World Fantasy Convention and major publishers shy away from stories about people with swords going on quests. Tim Akers' new novella is both a heroic tale of a man on a mission and of a man with a deep spiritual and psychological need. It's gripping and hard to put down, just like Servant of a Pale Sword, but goes deeper into mystical territory than its predecessor.
