The Eye of Mares – Part 17

…hair, with a bald spot in the middle. Despite looking around forty-eight years old, he was much older—two hundred and nine years older, to be exact. His true age was a secret known only to Zach and Izal.
Kazza looked upon his master’s face. It was heavily tanned, featured a broad grin, a long nose, and a black beard.
“Good morning to you too, sir,” Kazza replied graciously. 
“I take it Damien, Blaze, Thor and Avi are still in bed?” Mako surmised, as the four he mentioned were not present.
“I believe they are, sir,” Kazza lied hastily. He knew full well the group of boys were awake; he followed them down to the forest before he went to join Jason and Davidos.
“You are a poor liar, Kazza, but it is nice you do so in an attempt to cover for your friends,” Mako retorted. He too knew they were awake, as he had checked their beds to make sure no one was sleeping in.
Jason and Davidos continued their little battle, unaware of Mako’s presence, as neither dare to look anywhere else than at each other. Kazza smiled.
“Apologies, Master.”
“Not needed. Now, observing can only teach you so much Kazza, so how about you show me what you have witnessed?”
With one hand, Mako pulled free his longsword, a weapon that required two hands to hold it. As was the norm for a true Watcher’s weapon, the blade was black, with their mark close to the hilt. Embedded in the hilt was an assortment of emeralds.
Grinning, Kazza drew his own single-edged, bronze-bladed falchion.
“Good boy, now come at me!” Kazza leapt at Mako, only to have the more…

The New Boktrope Phoenix Project by DM Cain.

One of the first indie books I read after joining the Awethors was the stunning Phoenix Project by the very talented DM Cain. DM has recently become a Booktrope author and her briliant novel has been given a complete makeover. We're very happy to help DM launch the Phoenix Project.

The Phoenix Project by D.M. Cain

The brand new edition of dystopian, psychological thriller The Phoenix Project by D.M. Cain will be re-released on December 11th. Originally published in May 2014, this new Booktrope edition has had a complete editing overhaul plus a stunning new cover design. 

The book will be available to buy from a wide range of digital and paperback distributors, including Amazon:

Author: D.M. Cain
Title: The Phoenix Project
Genre: Psychological thriller/Dark thriller/Dystopian
Book Content: Occasional adult language, graphic violence, and mild sexual content.
Original Cover Design from the first edition: 




Synopsis:

How can you fight to the death, when you’ve given up on life?

A thought provoking and compelling dystopian world that will change the way you view justice...

A man fights for life—and redemption—in D. M. Cain’s riveting re-released novel, The Phoenix Project.

Britain has descended into chaos as violence and terrorist attacks seethe across this once-peaceful country. Outraged by the steady stream of lawlessness, citizens demand a harsher penal system, and the Phoenix Project is born.

In prisons across the country, inmates fight to the death in a weekly bloodbath while the nation cheers them on.

Raven Kennedy, a prisoner who has never forgiven himself for his unspeakable crime, struggles against his own guilt and self-loathing. But even as the real war wages on within himself, Raven is forced to battle some of the prison’s most ruthless killing machines. Can he survive long enough to unravel the anger and regret that shackle him—and one day find the forgiveness he seeks?

‘The Phoenix Project by D.M. Cain is a superbly written debut, soaked in tension and intrigue,’ Jack Croxall, author of the ‘Tethers’ trilogy.
                      ________________________________________________________                                                          
An interesting fact about The Phoenix Project: The horrifying ‘dark room’ in The Phoenix Project (a pitch-black sensory deprivation cell) was inspired by D.M. Cain’s visit to the Terror Haza in Budapest—a museum dedicated to the fascistic and communistic regimes that operated from the building. In the cellar of the Terror Haza are the old cells used to imprison and torture inmates. D.M. crawled inside a very low cell and shut the door, casting herself into total darkness. It was terrifying and claustrophobic, and she only lasted five minutes in there!
