Aberthol Nauile doesn't know that he beheld the creation of the world, ravaged by a war of the gods, and began anew; or that he led legions in a war that had raged since the dawn of time; or that he once rode on a dragon with his father. All he knows is that he awoke in a coffin deep within a tomb, hearing voices in his head, and now the whole world thinks he is their savior.

INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR:

Q: What made you want to write epic fantasy novels?

A: I grew up on this stuff: J.R.R. Tolkien, Stephen R. Donaldson, Roger Zelazny... I could go on and on, but it was this kind of epic fantasy with dragons, and magic and fantastical worlds that filled my imagination as a kid. So the question is more like how could I not write an epic fantasy?

Q: Do you consider Shadow Swarm a Sword & Sorcery type epic?

A: There are certainly elements of sword and sorcery in the novel. With big sweeping battles and magic I poured all that I love into this story. I also worked to create a world with a rich history, political machinations and fantastical creatures of every kind. Again, this is the stuff I love. Shadow Swarm is also clean without the language and sex found in many books today, so it can be a great epic fantasy book for teens to read as well.

Autorentext

My whole life, I've loved hearing and reading stories, and creating worlds of my own. As a child, I spent countless hours drawing crazy contraptions on paper, or building vast fortresses in a sand pile behind my garage. There was hardly a time I wasn't off on some adventure in my mind, to the dismay of parents and teachers alike. So it's no big surprise I took all that daydreaming, all that longing to really see the wonder of creation around me, and started pouring it into discovering hidden universes in my own mind.

For quite a few years I tried my hand at writing, mostly working on one, massive fantasy novel, but it wasn't until I had kids and they became voracious readers that I found my passion. There's no greater audience than a child. I'd rather have a simple review from a kid that says, "Awesome book!" than a five-star review in the New York Times. Of course, if anyone at the Times wants to try to prove me wrong, I'd be willing to let you.
