Start Reading Below!!
Up next: Prologue
Otherworld Legacy - Nightfall - Prologue Earth. Such a tremendous place. So much darkness across its greatest depths and so much light among its dreadful heights. It was first filled with speechless creatures. Afterwards with logical and intelligent species. Humans. ...But what was in between? What was before humans and what was after the voiceless animals? What did the ancestors see and, thus, the folklore was born? What terrified them? What did amaze them so much that forced the myths and legends to spread across the seven seas? Why do they all sound so much alike?
Most people were taught that humans are the only logical beings to have ever existed on earth. ...Some believed it. Some did not. Either way, no one really knows what lurks within the endless depths and heights. But still, those who believed were labeled as "lunatics". ...The truth is...that not everything is for every eye. Some things must remain hidden in order to survive. Like an instinct for self-pr

"Nightfall™
" synopsis:
"Nightfall" is the first book of the "Otherworld Legacy Trilogy". It starts by telling the story of Seishiro Shinoda, a 26-year-old mercenary in the modern Japan of 2015 who grew up a "normal" life. Until an ancient artifact is stolen from his clan.
Prejudiced by an Omen of imminent war which accompanies the artifact known as "Sacred Stone", its search brings him face to face with his dark past and the ghosts that haunt him. Uncovering secrets and lies, being betrayed by the people closest to him, he soon comes to deal with a completely new, supernatural reality and the deadly dangers it hides.
Every piece seems to fit into the same puzzle which leads him to the Siren. A woman of unknown aspirations that has answers to all of his questions. She changes his life forever and shows him that the world is more complicated than he thought and it has many mysteries and unrevealed stories far beyond his very imagination.
Myths and legends come to life and a struggle for survival begins. Follow the characters as they explore the past, the present and the future and let them teach you a powerful lesson. To keep fighting.
-------
Here, I'll post illustrations of the characters and in-book scenes and information and descriptions of the huge variety of species you'll meet in the books.
-------
"Chapter 1: The Dark Realm" will be released for free reading on Saturday 23rd December 2017! Stay tuned for more info about the "Nightfall™
" book!
Enjoy your adventure!

Do you make book covers for other too? Or no? And if so, is it free?

A beautiful cover!
Just one little thing, the back text is interesting but the introduction "this is the first book of a trilogy" isn't that thrilling. I'd choose an exciting first sentence like "It was stolen. Someone stole it - and Seishiro's future is no longer normal...
And then, the rest of the text. And "this is the first book etc" at the end of the back text.
The design is very awesome, looks like a real book and if it was standing in a library, I'd immediately read it

Thank you so much!! Yeah, I was planning on changing that part again someday because it feels off; and after reading a few synopsis from other books around, I noticed that they put that in the end rather than the begining! This a nice idea actually! It sounds good!

if you plan on self publishing i recommend going through lulu.com
They are a wonderful website that got my book into amazon, barnesandnoble.com, and several world wide online bookstores, all for free plus half off for prints.
if you go the ebook route, i recommend amazon or lulu, but if you do it through amazon, then you'll have access to the ACX (audiobook creation exchange). its a FANTASTIC resource for making an audiobook with professional producers and narrators.
My book just had its audiobook released.
if you need any advice about self publishing, id be happy to help out anyway that i can.
good luck!

Thank you very much for the info! I found lulu.com, too, while I was searching around nytimes.com! About the prints, does lulu.com keep a commission??

lulu takes 30% of the profits. But they take more if your book is published through them but sells off another website.
And mind you, Lulu is a hybrid publisher. You can get your stuff published and out onto various websites for free, but if you want them to market it in any way, that will cost you.
Also, I recommend staying away from vanity publishers. Where everything from publishing to editing, to marketing is all part of a package that you have to cough up anywhere from 1000-3000$ (i dont know what that is in greek currency)
I would either go amazon (which i believe is createspace.com for them) or lulu....or you can deal with the long and agonizing process of a traditional publisher.

That would be great!!!! :3 Thank you!! I'll note you with chapter 1 in a few days! (It's crazy how many times I go back to Ch 1 to edit things!! Hahaha!!!! If you notice any missing word or something, let me know to fix it! I've read it around 5 times or so - to the point I got tired of reading it again and again - but I still notice some missing words or words with the wrong spelling because of the automated corrector here and there! Damn! When I type fast - I write the book on my ipod touch and then I edit it in Word on PC - I, for example, think I type "within" but I type "withing" and tge corrector changes it to "witting"! That's my most common misspelling word! Hahahaha!! Now that I mentioned it, I gotta check for "witting" in Word's search to see how many will pop up! Hahahahaha!!! So, if you catch something, let me know!)

Lovely cover! Really reminds me of the sort of books I used to be engrossed in when I was a lot younger (these days I'm mostly a sucker for gritty crime novels, but fantasy still holds a special spot in my heart)

Thank you very much! Well, this trilogy has many cases to solve (I'm also a lover of crime novels because I love solving good mysteries!) - don't forget it's halfly ninja based! That's why I used a puzzle for the cover!!
