Fezariu's Epiphany

The White Oak, Clarendon’s oldest brothel, lured and destroyed men by the thousands. Fezariu was different.

David is inspired by medieval history, Norse mythology and Japanese role-playing video games and anime films. He lives in Huddersfield with his wife Donna and their six rescue cats. Welcome to Of Ink And Quille Thanks for having me. As an author, what scares me the most... I call myself a fantasy writer and that’s what I’d always like to be.
