But fate had other plans, and just when Enguer thought he would slip silently into the wilderness and the obscurity it offered, an old friend of his father’s showed up unexpectedly on his doorstep. A High Priest of Sunna with fearsome tales of homes raided in the night, citizens abducted from their beds or attacked viciously by ferocious beasts obscured in darkness had pushed the frightened populace of Courth to the edge of panic. Patrols sent into the gloom of The Wilds in pursuit of the invaders never returned and the fate of those taken alive were the subject of horrifying speculation.
Following a twisted path of uncertainty, Enguer would soon find himself face to face with the awful truth behind the beasts of Courth and the life-changing events that would catapult him onto an even greater stage of malicious intrigue and deceit. In this new world he would soon be forced to make a choice – to kill the beasts, or become one.
Born in Homestead, Florida, Ravek Hunter grew up in the US and Belgium. He earned a bachelor's degree in marketing from Florida International University and went on to become a sporting goods executive. He currently serves as a consultant in the same industry and occasionally assists his wife of fifteen years at her floral design company. The proud father of two boys, Ravek counts reading, exercising, and family travel among his leisure hobbies.
Over the past 35 years, Ravek's passion has been researching ancient civilizations with a focus on the origin stories behind their mythology. His writing style attempts to immerse the reader into the story by bringing to life historically accurate and rich details of the culture that frames the narrative of the time period in which his novels are based.
Inspired by classic fantasy authors like Robert Jordan, Terry Goodkind, and R. A. Salvatore, Ravek writes to entertain and provoke his readers, who, he hopes, share his fondness for mythology.
