Novel<\/h3><p>LOS ANGELES, Calif., February 28, 2022 \u2014 <i>The Infernal Promise<\/i>, 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.<\/p><p>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.<\/p><p>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.<\/p><p>Author Dom Magwili wrote the book because &#8220;I wanted to see myself in these stories,&#8221; he said. &#8220;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.<\/p><p><i>Legends from the First Hemisphere: The Infernal Promise<\/i> is published by Digital Fabulists, an independent publisher of genre fiction.<\/p><p><small>ISBN Softcover: 9798773282587, 6\u201d x 9\u201d, 644 pages, $22.95 eBook for Amazon Kindle, $9.99<br \/>Published by Digital Fabulists, print or audio versions available through Amazon.com<\/small><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e1cd39 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1e1cd39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09T66LNVH\/\" id=\"amazon-promise\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Buy on Amazon<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c0e059 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4c0e059\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21f7bd6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"21f7bd6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2a90b59 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2a90b59\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b45f945\" data-id=\"b45f945\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-a4ea1e7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a4ea1e7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8e437b3\" data-id=\"8e437b3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9885996 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9885996\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>About the Author<\/h3><p><span style=\"text-transform: uppercase;\">Dom Magwili<\/span> is the resident acting teacher for the Los Angeles-based East West Players Theatre Conservatory, the nation\u2019s premier Asian American theatre company.
