Haniel and Berrand do the king's work as a sellsword and a messenger hired to maintain control of the land. But when Berrand's mentor, the aged priest Gorreth, sends him on a journey to recover the holy text of a god he abandoned long ago, the two find themselves beset by bandits, cultists, and worse as they seek to bring back what has been lost.

The Gates of Arstelem is a fantasy novel I began work on for NaNoWriMo 2016. It takes place in the Othenar setting, which is a mythic fantasy world recovering from the invasion of mysterious beings known only as the Kithik, who attempted to claim the world for their own.

I'm doing an editing pass as I upload, so the progress should be fairly quick for a few chapters, then we're going to see a stalling. Feedback is appreciated and encouraged.

Note: This is sort of the first draft version. I'm doing some rewriting a year later with new and improved skills.

Invisible

Invisibility is a terrible thing. At times you may wish you had it, but trust me, you don't. Invisibility kills. It hides you & isolates you. It leaves you stranded in the worst of times. There's no one there to help you when needed. It shrouds you in darkness & out of the world's sight. You're cast aside like a pebble skips across a lake. If you want to feel this way, then go ahead. No one's going to stop you. But be warned of the consequences. Those who feel this way, you can relate & agree that life is terrible in invisibility.......
