Amazon link: Beneath the Gilding: Umbren
This book really is a passion project for me. It leans very heavily cyberpunk, which I know isn’t the most marketable genres, but I love the story and characters. From those who’ve read it have said that it was a massive step up in my writing from my previous work, so I’m really hoping that pulls through.
On the whole though, I’m describing it as a sci-fi slow burn progression fantasy story. Slow burn because the MC is an established person in the world and begins his focus on recruitment for his new guild, rather than immediately starting the power ups. For some of the characters he recruits, their story would be more like a typical prog fantasy, I just thought it’d be really fun to have a story from the perspective of the experienced mentor.
Although, there will be power ups, I can promise you on that.
Thanks for being here, and I can’t wait until I get this into your hands!
Blurb:
Darkness advances, guilds scheme, and the people suffer.
Everette’s had enough.
Aboard a massive ark-ship crossing the interstellar void, generations have already lived and died in the fractured cityscape of the Wards. Shadow-touched monsters now stalk the deep corridors of the ship, only held at bay by the Golden warriors wielding powerful magi-tech.
But Everette Highspire has discovered from within that the Golden’s mandate is a lie; An excuse to enforce oppression in the name of the catatonic celestials hidden away on the ship’s Core.
Gathering a handful of outcasts around him, Everette is determined to forge a pure path leading a new Guild – one that’s worthy of its power. But his enemies are multiplying and even his allies are not all they seem.
Can Everette and his burgeoning Guild carve out a foothold, or will the darkness claim more casualties?
