    About this ebook

    “Ghosts in the Yew gave me the same feeling as another book I read last year en thoroughly enjoyed: The Pillars of the Earth". – Draumr Kopa Fantasy Book Blog

    This novella is part two of Ghosts in the Yew, also available as a collection.

    As Barok’s history is revealed, loyalty is questioned, and allies must choose.

    “You are either a friend of a foe. Barok is an heir to two thrones. We serve a man like no other in all the history of Zoviya.”

    Magic begins to grow in this epic fantasy surrounded by the mystery of old gods, blood magic, and statecraft. Ignited by redemption and conquest, this journey will test their struggles to survive and will put them at odds with their families, their nation, and the very powers that shaped the world. But, this story is bigger than these things.

    It’s bigger than all of us.

    You can read the trilogy in full volumes, or broken up into five novellas each.

    The Vestal Series

    A tale of violent magic, intrigue, and statecraft, the Vesteal Series is the story of four souls that are banished beyond the edge of the map to a land of gnarled forests, ancient magic, and the site of a terrible murder. Their struggles to survive will put them at odds with their families, their nation, and the very powers that shaped the world.

    "The author has clearly done his research in writing this book, and I was very impressed with his description of the rebuilding of the nation of Enhedu. Mostly though, he has created characters who go through harrowing ordeals that you latch onto and care deeply about. Oh, and the battles he describes are epic and will leave you on the edge of your seat.” – Sam, Goodreads

    Armed with an English degree from Ripon College and an MBA from Chicago’s Stuart School of Business, Blake has thrived for many years in the shadowed back-office realms of the financial industry. He currently solves financial crimes in Chicago during the day and gives life to wild fantasies during the blackest hours of night. When he is not working or writing, Blake enjoys reading some of the best fantasy novels around, written by the likes of Robert V.S. Redick, Glen Cook, Peter V. Brett and Mark Laurence, with a little science fiction from David Brin sprinkled in. Blake is the author of the Vesteal Series, which includes Ghosts in the Yew, Native Silver and The Vastness. According to fans, "Blake excels at world-building" which gives "each of the characters their own unique voice" and "ring(s) truer to the human condition". The Draumr Kopa Fantasy Book Blog even exclaimed, "It always amazes me how such an extensive story can sprout from a single human's mind.
