Darkness, Death, Demons, and Dragons…
A new self-published work has recently been released. Dawn of Darkness, by Jeremy Barandela, has already received promising reviews, here is an extract from Readers Favorite:
“Jeremy Barandela takes readers on a medieval fantasy adventure in his latest book Dawn of Darkness. Zar Khan and his demons have been released from the underworld. The Collective, deceived by Khan, are released from one curse only to be placed under a different one. He becomes their master and they are forced to do his bidding. Cedric alone has the power to stop the evil that threatens the world. United We Stand is an incredible series by seventeen year old Jeremy Barandela. Dawn of Darkness is the second book in this seven book series. I find it amazing that Barandela writes with such maturity. He writes like a much more experienced author. He has created a world of his own filled with magic, elves and amazing characters. Fans of Fantasy will be enthusiastic about Dawn of Darkness.”
Here, to further whet you appetite, is the synopsis:
Such are the things that have been reawakened in Sargoria. Marik’s mission to resurrect the dark mage has been met with success. Zar Khan’s return has beckoned the advent of his former allies: the demon soldiers of the Abyss, the dark dragons, and The Collective.
By far, the most discrete and dangerous of Zar Khan’s revived allies is The Collective, a group of six wraithlike men who specialized in brutal, magical assassination. The Collective have made it their top priority, as commanded by their dark master, to capture Cedric, or kill him.
Cedric must face his most dangerous enemies yet in a land where hope seems to have vanished from the face of the continent. Evil runs rampant in Sargoria, and only Cedric has the power to stop its minions . . . if he is able to survive his encounters with the forces of darkness.
One man. One goal. One chance.
Witness the battle that will determine the fate of the world.

Special Feature: Understanding the author of Alice in Wonderland
Lewis Carroll, the elusive author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, has been the subject of enduring fascination for the past hundred years. The destruction of many major documents about his personal life by his descendants has only magnified the mystery. Jenny Woolf's biography, published to coincide with the release of the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland film, lays waste to the myths and suspicions that have obscured Carroll's reputation by placing him firmly in the context of his own time.
