Introduction to The Vault Guardian

(Illustrated by Elena Garrido)

Welcome to the companion site for The Vault Gaurdian! This is a series I started writing last year. I hope to have Book #1, The King's Gambit available via Kindle Direct Publishing and CreateSpace by the end of the month. The following is the back cover blurb of The King's Gambit:

"It has been ages since Earth’s societies crumbled, leaving the planet a nearly barren wasteland. Since then, the remnants of humanity have slowly rebuilt isolated civilizations with new cultures and ideas, all seemingly unaware of how the world ended. It is a world ravaged by war, illness, and famine. To Benedict Limetrad, the outcast son of Freztad’s former chief, that world is about to get much bigger. When the mysterious forces of a faraway land capture a beloved member of his village, Ben embarks on a quest to bring her home—only to discover that the world is far more dangerous and mysterious than he had once thought. His journey proves perilous, and he is faced with death and danger at every turn. Throughout his quest, Ben’s values and sense of self are pushed to the limits as he uncovers the secrets of the world, its past, and himself."

Currently, my plans are to write a series of at least 3 parts, but I anticipate it will extend to 5 or 6. Many have suggested that I write a prequel series discussing the events leading to the "apocalypse" and the rise of the many villages and kingdoms that you will visit and read about in TVG. I am against this idea at the time because I want the readers to have just as much knowledge as the characters. To me, it works like a puzzle that readers will have to solve alongside the characters. That being said, I do have plans for Book #2 to have small chapters that give insight into the past, but only because they will be relevant to the narrative.
