About the book
The Calling of the Chosen is the first book in the series Red Day.
Red Day is based in the world of Coma, a land inhabited by feuding families, skullduggery and the permanent, forbidding threat of evil.
What is the connection between the dreaded Red Day, with its red mist that temporarily blankets the world, and Gorl’s Gate? It is many years since thirteen men ventured through the portals of the gate. Of the ten that returned, five had turned to the darkest evil that now terrorises the world of Coma in their bid for total power and control.
This extraordinary book is not for the faint-hearted; from quests to wars, from romances to deaths and from glorious reunions to sad goodbyes. It is also a story of love threatened by terrible hatred, with knights, rangers, heroes and beasts and many truly lovable characters.
Red Day is written to shock and keep you guessing; adult fantasy fiction at its best.
