Description
NOTE: SINCE PUBLISHING THIS, I'VE REWRITTEN THIS STORY THREE TIMES. THE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED REVISED EDITION COMES OUT OCTOBER 20th. (See www.nicolaslietzau.com) "In a nation where wealth equals worth, a mercenary, a priestess, and a psychic must enter the disturbed mind of a merchant king to prevent a civil war." When a contract leads Jespar Dal'Varek, mercenary and professional cynic, to the island nation of Kilé, he sees it as a chance to turn the page. He quickly finds that the "Land of Opportunities" and it's glittering metropolis walk on a tightrope. While the upper class lives in luxury, a controversial decree has birthed an insurgency among the poor. As Jespar learns that the First Magnate has fallen into a supernatural coma and that it's his mission to find out what caused it, he realizes that in a city of dreamers there are bound to be nightmares. And that sometimes, it's only a thin line between the sleeping and the awoken. ________________________________________________________________________________ "Dreams of the Dying" is a spin-off web novel to the popular Skyrim Total Conversion Enderal. It explores the past of Jespar Dal'Varek, one of Enderal's protagonists. I'm releasing one chapter each week, here and on my Patreon (www.patreon.com/niseam) - if you're enjoying the novel and would like to support me financially, I have a variety of tiers there with some cool rewards. Though it plays in the Enderal universe, the novel stands on its own - no need to play the game in order to enjoy the book. So, if you care for a modern Fantasy tale with mystery and horror underpinnings and a bit of romance, give it a try! :)
