The Peace Speaker

About the Book

Estimated Soft-Launch: Mid-End February 2017

This will include Parts I, II, and III (i.e. the introductory chapters and the first two races encountered; 30-40k

words)

NOTE: This section is still under construction.

Peace Speaker: Noun. A person born with the ability to communicate in all languages as if they were their own. They are called forth by the cosmos to bring peace amongst the nations. In times of great peril, they are summoned to prevent the Dadrhiim from returning. The last one sealed off the Humans two hundred years ago, costing her her life and the lives of her supporters.

Dadrhiim: A race of malevolant beings with ferocity and strength unparalleled by any living race. They are fierce adversaries and as a race of total magic, are themselves immune to most common weaponry. It takes a properly forged weapon to even scratch the hide or scales of a Dadrhiim, and even more so to affect those of a gaseos nature.

The last Peace Speaker, Lady Lillantma Vaseres, gave her life to banish the humans. Will the Seven believe their savior will be one of the very race that almost destroyed them two centuries earlier?

Thomas Freide is, well was, a captain in the Human National Army, exiled from the rest of the Seven for two hundred years in a pocket universe. Sworn to serve the council of the elders; those who really know the course of humanity and live by the prophecy, while also upholding the law of an aging monarchy, a monarch he describes as "having no spine and several chins". He lives in the shadow of their namesake:The KushMaka; an organization sworn to the service of the Peace Speaker, shrouded in secrecy they are the only defence prepared against the Dadrhiim, a race exiled from their plane of existence ages ago by the first Peace Speaker. He believes he will stay imprisoned with the rest of mankind until the day he dies. When he is asked by the head of the KushMaka, the BladeSpeaker to lead an expedition to meet the other six original races, he does not realize just how much his life will change.

 

A Peace Speaker is called forth by the Cosmos in times of great peril. Leader of the Spoken Mages, able to converse freely in all tongues as if they were his mother tongue, they are servents of the process in keeping the Dadrhiim, a race of unimaginable evil, locked away in their prison. If a major war was ever to break out again amongst the Seven, the Dadrhiim would return and all would be lost.

 

This book is planned to contain 8 parts and be a part of a trilogy of books. Updates to this book will happen over the course of the next half year or so up to a full year before entering the final editing process. I expect average update sizes somewhere between 15 and 25 thousand words (but never less than 10,000 words).

About the Author

Devon Steiger
Devon Steiger

I am an undergraduate student at Concordia University studying English Literature & Professional Writing. I started writing in 2006 as a kid, and in 2008 started writing more seriously. Though none of the works writtenback then have ever seen the light of day, in 2010 I undertook writing a complete book for my IB personal project in high school. Five years later, that project has been placed on the shelf and in 2012, after two NaNoWriMo attempts, I released my first published work Archetypes: State of Play. Over the past three years I have focused mainly on my Academic career as that has been my priority, but as I am nearing the midway point of university I am becoming more and more serious about writing.

Since I launched Archetypes I have worked on several projects that are coming to fruition, including the upcoming Peace Speaker series and Anonymous. I enjoy writing and hope to continue to do so for a long time to come.

 

I am here for the community that reads my work and I am looking forward to getting to know you guys as well (if you let me of course). I hope that those of you who do read some of my works will enjoy it at least as much as I enjoyed making it. If I can do that, and maybe even get you to think about some of the things involved in that book, then I think I have succeeded in at least one of my primary goals.

Sincerely,

Devon Steiger
