My epic fantasy novel The Jewels of the Ishamah is now available on Amazon.com. Here is a sample of a scene from that book. This scene involves the main villain Athan and the voice of Ankidesh in his mind as he tries to unite the four magical jewels for his own gain:
Chapter 34: The Plot of a Madman
In the dim light, Athan walked toward a corner of the room at his right. He stopped and poked his walking stick at an odd tessellated image on a stone block which sat near the corner of the large room. It was an image of a golden griffin holding a tablet in its talons.
Athan stared at the image for a moment with a look of glee on his face, as if recognizing what it meant. Then he pushed the block aside with unnatural strength for a man his age. After the stone block had slid aside, scraping loudly across the floor, Athan proceeded toward the wall on his walking stick and strained his eyes in the dim light of the room. An ordinary looking tablet was fitted into the wall near the corner behind where the stone block had been. It had ancient writing carved on it. It appeared as if the stone tablet had been carved into the wall itself.
"At last," Athan said excitedly, standing before it. "The hidden stone tablet. It was here all along, as I suspected. The spell that is written upon it shall unleash the full potential of this power once I have attained all four jewels."
"Good," Ankidesh's voice echoed through the room. "Good."
"It is said that whoever utters the spell upon this tablet correctly in the Sumerian language will rule the universe as one of the gods. This tablet hasn't aged at all. It is in perfect condition."
"Yes!" the voice of Ankidesh echoed. "And I know the ritual to make it work."
"We're going to be gods!" Athan cried like a thrilled megalomaniac. "Our reign over a new world begins tonight!"
