But first, a word from ... Today's Sponsor
The world Brink has created is rich and detailed, well drawn with enough backstory to give the setting depth, but not so much as to be overwhelming. I was impressed with the world, and I’d like to see more of it.

Here's the set-up:
Silver, they call it, the light of the full moon: celestial magic that
changes men into beasts and calls the dead from their graves—and young
men to their destiny...
When his village is attacked by creatures from Blood Marsh, Billy Cole volunteers to find help. But it’ll take more than a sword and the inspiring tales of his legendary idols to survive the harsh world beyond Redfield. Taking the name Wil Thunderstrike, he sets off to save his home and begin his own heroic legacy.
On Fate’s fickle course, sixteen-springs-old Wil Thunderstrike will become a storyteller, adventurer, and thief; discover romance, danger, and betrayal; and return home both a hero and a villain.
*
Need a break from elves, dwarves, and messianic orphans? Prefer your heroes flawed rather than invulnerable? Complex over stereotyped? Evolving, not revolving? If you like Glen Cook's working-class fantasy and George R. R. Martin's realistic motivations, you'll enjoy the rich world, deep characters, and mature themes of Tarnish.
What happens when the son of a legend goes out into the world and discovers that all the shimmering tales of heroes that he grew up on may not be true? That there is no such thing as good and evil, just shades of silver and grey?

One Reviewer Notes:
This book is one of those rare fantasy books that successfully departs from usual the Tolkien inspired themes and creates it's own interesting world. Make no mistake though, there is still everything you would expect and want from a good fantasy novel. Tarnish is a well thought out story, and the pacing makes it very easy and enjoyable to read. It is always a gamble when you purchase a book from an unknown author, but in this case it paid off for me. If you enjoy fantasy literature, and you are looking for something new and a bit different, then I would highly suggest picking up Tarnish.

About the Author
J. D. Brink was not a private detective in the 1940s, but he'd liked to have been. Instead he was born in the 1970s, was a kid at the best time ever to be a kid (the '80s), and went to college in the '90s. He has since become a sailor, spy, teacher, nurse, officer, and father. Today he and his family live in Texas, where there aren't enough cheating husbands, missing persons, practicing witches, or hard-boiled mysteries to keep him occupied. In his writing, as in life, he likes to dabble in multiple genres.
