I am pleased to announce that my first sword and sorcery collection, Welgar the Cursed, published by Lyndon Perry's Tule Fog Press, is now available to order as a 188-page paperback on amazon.
"From his raw beginnings as a carefree mercenary, Welgar had no idea that his future would lead him into a dark, demonic nightmare. Although he had always instinctively hated sorcery, it was into the depths of what magic could create that he found himself entangled when he unwisely crossed swords with some of its most malign practitioners.
Follow Welgar’s quest as he struggles to rid himself of his horrific curse, which brings death and terror to anyone close to him, friend or foe. Travelling from the hot jungles and grim temples of feared Agrypt in the far south to the forbidden, demon-haunted city of Cyramon in the arctic north, Welgar is willing to sacrifice it all to become again the man he once was."
“For those enjoying the current surge of interest in Sword & Sorcery, David Riley’s Welgar is definitely one to follow. Skillfully crafted, spiced with lively action and a healthy dash of humor, these yarns are a delight, and stand out on a crowded battlefield.” – Adrian Cole, author of The Voidal Trilogy, Dream Lords Series, and Elak, King of Atlantis.
The collection includes the following tales:
Ossani the Healer and The Beautiful Homunculus
The Dark Priestdom (first published in Savage Realms Monthly #19, 2023)
Welgar the Cursed (first pubished in Swords & Heroes, 2023)
Mask of a Mad God
The Forbidden City of Cyramon (first published in Swords & Heroes One Story at a Time, 2024)
Emerging from Their Twilit Realms
Now that the paperback of my collection of Welgar's tales is available I must express thanks for the artwork of Rizky Nugraha for the cover and an interior illustration, plus to Aaron Rakuu for his map of Welgar's world.
