"A Taste of Mortality" is a dark fantasy novel about the Fae. But it's not romance or a light read. It has horror elements and actually many triggers.
There are two main characters: Tiyan Markon, who is thrown into a cruel reality; a hero, but reluctant one, who is not brave in the common sense of this word. He is an average young man, who will do everything for his family. Even go into the den of a lion - the Fae realm - though his future seems bleak and final.
The second main character is the fey king, Lorian Ain'Dal. He is ruthless, dark and cruel - and he does things that are usually a taboo. It's not that obvious in my currently posted chapters, but the novel will get darker as it goes. He has a goal - which costs him a lot of pain, of which no one knows, even his lovers. He is a complex character, fierce inside, but cold and shadowed outside.
The novel is poetic! I write with metaphors, some parts more, some parts less, but ATOM is like a poem about darkness, cruel woods, eternal winter and forbidden magic.
And it goes back to Fairy roots, when they were cruel, scary, unpredictable... a fairytale creatures, told about by the furnace fire, to teach children to behave and do not risk in the deep night. The fairies in my novel will grasp you heart with a pliers made of midnight and swallow of your hope.
