The Ancestral Odyssey: Rise of the Black Doves - Part Two

The Star Callers have left New Xiondel City. Having learned a way to track Isolde, Alessa leads her sisters through Krondathian territory and beyond, but something is wrong; their path is littered with strange occurrences and peculiar findings which can only spell uncertainty.

The road was long, but it is far from over. Deacon sides with Nielata to combat the unrest on Xiondel's streets; however, it will take more than a bold strategy and courage to bring about the justice the city deserves; it may require the assistance of an ancient shell.

Denzel and Jun continue their hunt for undeniable proof that will expose and incarcerate Professor Atheriax. Nevertheless, the more they uncover, the more disturbing his experiments become.

At the mercy of the storm, the Firehands secure the hexagon, making the essential repairs and preparations before they breach the silo to rescue the students and to learn the origin of the lethal infestation.

Draygo continues his search for Chloe Augustien, also known as the elusive Silken Spirit, who was last seen on the borders of Tthenadawn Forest. Should contact be made, Draygo is to learn more about the Blood Angel, Saphuries, uncover a potential weakness and perhaps convince Chloe to rejoin the Dark Rogue crusade.

The Ancestral Odyssey: Rise of the Black Doves is the sequel to The Utopian Dream. Readers will return to Equis and visit a variety of remarkable and nightmarish lands. Rise unifies the genres of epic and horror, taking the series to a unique place. The Ancestral Odyssey is far from over, promising the reader a new cast to further explore and unravel the mystery at this Odyssey's core. Amidst this storm of an epic comes a myriad of plots, a deeper understanding of Glyph magic, the arrival of another race and the unveiling of a terrifying deity. Episode Two could very well be the darkest in the series, daring to challenge readers with controversial story arcs, uncomfortable ideas, and present situations some are not prepared for or expecting.

The Dream is Over. A Nightmare Surfaces. Their Rise is Inevitable.

My name is Duncan Gill. I was born in England, in Hemel Hempstead, in July 1987. I grew up in Pembrokeshire along the coastline and studied Art and Design/Graphic Communication in College and University for six years. I've worked in many industries, from farming, catering, hospitality, retail, administration, agriculture, teaching and film, where I served as an editor and lead runner for H Productions, but my true passion has always been with The Ancestral Odyssey, an epic fantasy series that has become my life's work.Naturally, I have always had a love of fantasy in all its forms, from medieval to everything science fiction, particularly horror. For as long as I can remember, I've always had a very vivid imagination, one that never let me rest and hungered for more, for something wild, beautiful, dangerous, colourful, dark, and otherworldly. I'm inspired by epic stories found in books, in games and in films. I love exploring the unknown and understanding the complexities of our heroes, human or otherwise, therein. Studying our origin stories, weaving through our own history, and breaking down mythologies is, in essence, the main source of my creativity, and should you decide to indulge in The Ancestral Odyssey, I feel like this will come across rather swiftly.My goal is to bring readers and creatives such as yourself something new, something that encapsulates what epic fantasy is at its core and to push the genre into bold new territories, to redefine the genre as a whole. Whether I succeed in this endeavour is up to you.
