About this series
"A fox-named king, a sylfaea minstrel who walks with demigods and a mysterious man of silver are given a quest by the Seeress of Glass. They are to journey to the Hold of Ashes and help its people against the enemy that besieges the city – a foe that has the eye of death. Unknown to them, they will be the last to enter the tunnels and the last to fall to the consort of the Mother of Madness. After he takes their eyes, their skin and their bones, he will complete her house and call his mother and consort to Earth. It is up to three unlikely heroes and one chalyvos who wants to wash away his shame, to face the eye of death and conquer it, lest darkness rules the land."

This book is a 32.000 word novella that fits snugly into the Heroic Fantasy genre. This is a tale which takes place in the middle of the over-arching story about the triumphs and tragedies that shape the lives of the protagonists. It may seem counter-intuitive to begin a tale in the middle of the greater story-arc but I'm in favour of such an introduction. Although there is a clear beginning, it is not the true beginning and although there is an end to the tale, it is not the end of the greater story. Those of you who enjoy this fantasy tale be assured that all the tales will be told and that the story will unfold.

Vasilis Petrovic
I was a boy in the '80s and a young man in the '90s and I wouldn't change that – unless I could live in the Hyborian Age, I'd make that change in an instant. I grew up with European and American comics, science-fiction and fantasy books and the best music and movies that mankind has produced in its history. I was reading Marvel's Conan comics since grade school and discovered AD&D just on the edge from adolescence to manhood. Since then, my hobbies have accompanied me down the difficult and winding road of life. I wanted to write stories since I was eighteen or so and in fact I've written loads of stories that people have enjoyed in a role-playing setting. At some point I decided to do this thing that I've always wanted to do and write a true novel. It would annoy me to no end to die before writing at least one fantasy story. So, I began writing a story. It began modestly, with the desire to write one single book tentatively entitled 'The Castle' but it grew quickly and it will be finished after about nine books. Now it's called 'The Cyclopean Castles' (bigger story, more and bigger castles). On the way, the stories branched out and I began a second series, 'The Blades of Dawn.' I have prayed to Crom for success but he is an uncaring god and he sits alone on his mountain, laughing down at me so to Hell with him! I'll consider it a success if I finish my stories and I have my books sitting on a bookshelf, keeping company to the likes of Howard, Moorcock, Gemmel and many other beloved fantasy authors. That's all you need to know about me, now go and read one of my books.
