Finch Crushluck is going to be rich. Disguised as a Death Priest, he seeks a priceless amulet containing the blood of a dead god. Scams are never easy. And this one may take his life because the Doom Who Waits breathes still, imprisoned in the heart of a nightmare landscape of destruction and madness.
Finch is not alone in his quest. Seduced by the whispers of the Doom Who Waits, a holy man betrays his vows to obtain the amulet, a merchant captain delivers a gilded dirigible as ransom for her kidnapped daughter, and a giant risks the fate of the world to avenge the murder of his family.
Charlatan. Apostate. Fury. Brute.
They can save the world. Or hasten its doom.
John White grew up on a steady diet of great 1960s and 1970s science fiction television and movies, including The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Star Wars, and Planet of the Apes and its sequels. He was profoundly influenced by Marvel Comics, J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, and (for better or worse) by Dungeons & Dragons.
After spending years writing and trying to sell screenplays, he finally returned to his true love: fantasy—writing and publishing A Dead Place Calls, the novelette prequel to First Evil.
John lives in California with his wife where he writes fantasy novels, watches his son play volleyball, and enjoys the best Mexican food and sunsets in the world. And, he still plays Dungeons & Dragons.
First Evil is his first, full-length fantasy novel.
