Tears of Min Brock - War of Whispers, Volume 1
Areall crept toward the parchment as if an evil
spirit possessed it. “Its beauty is its deception,” she whispered. “Burn it,
child. Destroy it or you will curse us. The Cauldron will know. The Cauldron
will see. They will come.”
Elabea calmly lifted the parchment from the
coals, where it had refused to burn. “How can something so beautiful be evil?”
The
Dark War is over. Betrayal, defeat and death forever accompany any mention of
the battlefield known as Min Brock. The shining kingdom of Claire is no more.
Any hint of rebellion is supressed by the constant drone that echoes throughout
the land. The Oracles of the
Council of Ebon, the dark lords who feed the perpetual flames of the Cauldron, forbid even
mentioning the name of the Only, the King of Claire, on pain of death.
Yet
in the night... a whisper comes to Elabea, a girl of 14 summers, who hears and
dares to believe there might be more to life than the drone. Accompanied by her
lifelong friend, Galadin, Elabea embarks on a dangerous journey to become one
of the most powerful creatures in the land - a storyteller. Along the way she
must learn to discern the true whisper of Claire from the counterfeit whisper
of Ebon. One might lead her to restore light and life to a world ruled by
darkness. The other leads to certain death.
The War of Whispers has begun.
About the Author
J.E. Lowder has played bass for Shania Twain, been charged by a black
rhino while on safari, and visited the Oval Office. He honed his love for both
music and writing while in high school when he went backstage to interview such
artists as Bob Seger, Rush and Kansas – “sorta like “Almost Famous” but without
Kate Hudson!” he quips.
Lowder draws from all these experiences and injects a healthy dose of
pure imagination when crafting his debut fantasy series, The War of
Whispers. He points to the a quote by G.K. Chesterton as the summation
of his writing philosophy: “Nay, the really sane man knows that he has a touch
of the madman.”
He is married, the father of four wonderful children, and is a proud
grandfather. He lives near Nashville, TN where he continues to write. An avid
biker, Lowder says he is “always on the prowl for adventure and stories.”
