The Infernal Promise, An Epic Fantasy Novel
LOS ANGELES, Calif., February 28, 2022 — The Infernal Promise, an epic fantasy novel by Dom Magwili, is now available on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle formats, with the audiobook to follow. This is the first book in the Legends from the First Hemisphere series.
In The Infernal Promise, a humble wagon train filled with immigrants headed for San Francisco suddenly finds itself lost in a faraway world, caught in the middle of a planetary invasion where animals walk and talk like people. The travelers face battle axes and power staffs, with hostile giants on four legs and two, eager for their death.
However, this is not your typical wagon train. It includes assassins posing as missionary nuns, a Filipino gambler armed with a Bowie knife and rattan fighting baton, two Chinese brothers leaving their lives as fighters for the prosperity of a land called Gold Mountain and Japanese adventurers looking to make America their home.
Author Dom Magwili wrote the book because “I wanted to see myself in these stories,” he said. “I have written stage plays and screenplays. Their subject matter contained adventure, the fantastic, and swashbuckling, so I combined all of these things in The Infernal Promise. Magwili is currently writing the follow-up to The Infernal Promise, titled Soldiers of the Hook and Eye, with publication planned for 2023.
Legends from the First Hemisphere: The Infernal Promise is published by Digital Fabulists, an independent publisher of genre fiction.
