Recently knighted squires Raven, Romda, and Ravai are tasked to help a nearby priest. However, this simple errand turns into much more. As the three knights investigate, they get drawn into a complex journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A being simply named the Dark Beast comes to the attention of the trio.  From local gossip, the Dark Beast sounds more like a character from a fable than a real life person. Now, this Beast is on a mission to destroy an entire city.  The three can\u2019t let that happen.  They will have to work outside of their safe castle walls and go into a country of unknown people and places.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could it be that the Dark Beast tales are true?  And what of his power?  Raven, Romda and Ravai have their own strengths and knowledge, but will it be enough to defeat a being so superior? They may have no choice. The Dark Beast is coming \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malketh and the Undead: April 18, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raven, Romda and Ravai are settling into their new knightly duties well.  With the Dark Beast defeated, their normal tasks almost seem mundane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst the boredom, Ravai asks, \u201cWhy does no one talk about villains from the past?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romda reasons, \u201cWhat would be the point?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a point.  Even though villains may have been defeated in the past, they may still be around, waiting in the background ready to resurface once again.    Malketh has returned to the kingdom, but something is different about him this time.  He is back with an entire army \u2026 an entire army of undead soldiers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve decided to go with Kindle only for the e-book. We can change this at any time, so please reach out to me\/us if this is a problem. Kindle (only program) has some nice things for only going with them and I am exploring those now. However, I don’t want to leave people out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
