The WitchBoard Series continues with "Return of the Dark Gods".

Gamer Mick Huxley continues his adventures along with the rest of the Soek and Ba'Neesh. Only, this time he is confronted with the Dark Gods themselves. They intend to harvest Earth resources and toy with its inhabitants, like they have done repeatedly in Earth history, only this time humanity, led by the Soek, isn't eager to submit to an alien space-born species presenting themselves as gods. Mick strikes the first blow at the end of "The Wild Ba'Neesh" when he has Iiyiko wipe through the world-wide sigil that has been preventing Earth scientists from seeing the approach of the Dark God's fleet of ships. The Dark Gods retailiate immediately and that is exactly where this novel begins.

Since you have already read The Wild Ba'Neesh you are now familiar with the WitchBoard world and it will likelier be an easier read for you even though I will continue to do worldbuilding for readers joining us only starting with this new novel. I will be including a lot of the same cast of characters and, of course, the true villains, the Dark Gods will be introduced. The stakes are higher as now all of Earth is under seige and there are a lot of human beings who don't like or trust the Soeks in their midst. So, it is likely there will be trouble from two sides, humanity and the Dark Gods. And, some of the Soek's old enemies are back eager to work with the Dark Gods against the Soek. It's complicated and nasty.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

If you found The Wild Ba'Neesh to be a bit dark and scary then you will likely find The Return of the Dark Gods to be even more intense. This next novel also has more science fiction elements woven into its fabric as a good deal of the story will take place in Earth orbit and it will include space ships and massive habitat spheres. You like those, right?

I am writing this novel as part of NanoWrimo [National Novel Writing Month - November] and I am going to try to post a chapter a day like I did with The Wild Ba'Neesh right here on Royal Road. Do you like that idea? I want to hear from you to see if you are eagerly waiting for the continuation of Mick's story. You can message me directly at my twitter feed at @FayThom04494140.

Both The Wild Ba'Neesh and Return of the Dark Gods fall into the sub-genre of Dark Urban Fantasy, GemerLit, with features of Horror and Science Fiction. Both novels are intended for an adult audience even though Mick is 15 when his story starts. There is and will be profanity and violence in both novels.
