A man's ego is the prophet of his downfall...
Cursed by an ancient goddess to be the desire of every eye, Gahlahan of Ohlin has trudged through centuries of blood and ruin. Legends of his name echo still, but it is a dying tone, indeed. His past is littered with a myriad of ghosts and poor decisions. Eternal yet unseen, he has watched empires rise and crumble, searching for a path away from her.She knows his heart. She owns his flesh.
What price can a man pay when even his soul is not his own?
The first novel in The Curse of Ohlin trilogy, Prepare For Me A Shallow Grave takes a dark look at the naivety of youth and the hollow burden of beauty. A novel that takes inspiration from grimdark epics and children's' fairy tales, Prepare For Me A Shallow Grave is a bleak, lyrical and unflinching dark fantasy novel that explores what it means to be the ideal of another.
Complete with banter, violence and grit, this novel is a dark fantasy gut-punch.
So many moments of such profound, gruesome beauty that I will be thinking about for a long time to come. - Meghan Davis, author of The Memoir of Johnny DayWalker
