The Warrior and the Witch: Fate: Book 1 of the Fantasy Trilogy

A noble warrior and his band of professional soldiers are on a critical mission to unite four cities by escorting emissaries who will establish trade agreements and safer routes between the cities. On the remotest part of their journey, an evil sorcerer and his army of orcs attack them. Using powerful magic and surprise, the monsters slaughter the soldiers and leave the warrior for dead. He awakens to find he is lying on a small cot in a tiny darkened room in an old cabin. His wounds are so severe that he is unable leave the cot. He fears the wounds could kill him, but at the same time, he worries that something much more sinister may be happening in the small cabin. He realizes a mysterious and frightening stranger is caring for him, and he wonders if his caregiver is keeping him alive for nefarious reasons, or is the stranger actually trying to heal him? Will he survive his wounds, or will this encounter lead to something inescapably evil? Or, might it turn into something more unexpected and profound than he could have imagined? "Fate" is Book 1 of The Warrior and the Witch Trilogy, the beginning of a fantasy series that sets the stage for life-changing and completely unexpected events that continue in Book 2 (due for release in May 2018). This book is recommended for mature audiences due to some graphic violence. Note: A Detailed Map is included in Book 1.

From the Inside Flap

Over eight hundred years ago, a cataclysmic flood inundated the world of Tecora. Ancient records indicate the waters rose nearly a thousand feet in less than two days, eradicating all the lower cities and towns and most of the populations on both island-continents. The waters receded over the following weeks, and left unimaginable destruction behind. The monsters that existed during the pre-flood era tended to live in the remotest regions of the continent, and those regions were largely mountainous areas. Consequently, much of the monster population survived the flood, and the same species from the pre-flood era can still be found in the current era. These monsters can make travel between cities and towns very dangerous, but now they appear to be on the rise. They are beginning to band together, and it appears that an evil mage is the heart of their power. But there is also a sorceress - known only by legend, who has many horrible and terrifying tales surrounding her. Unbeknownst to the common people, she is far more mysterious and powerful than they could have imagined, but she has kept to herself all her life. After a horrible tragedy and against his will, one man - a noble and ferocious warrior - is going to meet this sorceress and find out that she is completely unlike the tales that concern her; but can she be trusted?Will they destroy each other in their distrust? Or together, can they change the fate of their world?
