A Dead Place Calls
About this ebook
A Death Speaker priest and a sullen deserter of a defeated army search for a missing boy gifted with foresight – a boy who knows when the last day will come. But Finch Crushluck is no Death Speaker. He's a street con and beggar, posing as a dark priest to sell lies to fools desperate to learn their fate in the coming apocalypse. To pull off his greatest scam and save his neck from his mad companion's blade, he needs to make the dead talk and the boy reveal his secret. If he can do this and survive the pursuit of vengeful barbarians and the specters of Mist Dwarfs, he just might live long enough to see the end of the world.
About the author
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 four 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, publishing A Dead Place Calls in 2013. The novelette A Dead Place Calls is the prequel to the full length fantasy novel First Evil and the forthcoming Fallen Empires Rise.
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.
