Black Heart: Part Two: In the Coils of a Horned Serpent (The Barrow #3) by Mark Smylie
Unrated

The last survivors of the raid on the Barrow of Azharad find themselves slipping further and further into webs of danger and intrigue. Erim, carrying a special burden, finds death behind the pleasant facade of the Tournament of Flowers; Godewyn Red-Hand enters into the service of men of power and ill intent; Stjepan Black-Heart walks high trails in the wild hills of the Manon Mole; and Annwyn of the Black Tower receives a visitor who is not what he seems.

BLACK HEART — the sequel to THE BARROW — will be released digitally in three parts; Part One — WORDS ON WIND, ADRIFT ON DREAMS OF SPLENDOR — has already been released on the Kindle. This is Part Two: IN THE COILS OF A HORNED SERPENT.

Mark Smylie

Mark Smylie has worked as a writer, illustrator, editor, and publisher for over two decades.

His epic military fantasy comic book, Artesia, was first published by Sirius Entertainment in 1999. Mark was nominated for the Russ Manning Award for Best Newcomer that year, and for an Eisner Award for Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition in 2001. His illustrations have appeared in works from Wizards of the Coast (for Dungeons & Dragons), White Wolf (for Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse), Brigand Publishing (for Avlis), Kobold Press (Kobold Quarterly and the Midgard Campaign Setting), and collectible card games from AEG (L5R and Warlords). He also designed and illustrated a roleplaying game based on Artesia that won the Origins Award for Role-Playing Game of 2006, three Indie RPG Awards, and was nominated for six ENnies.

Mark founded Archaia Studios Press (ASP) in 2002 as a self-publishing home for his comic book, and with business partner Aki Liao expanded the company to include a wide variety of creator-owned and foreign titles, including the Eisner-Award winning Mouse Guard, Robotika, Eisner-nominated The Killer, and Okko, amongst others. Archaia was acquired in 2008 by Kunoichi, Inc., and then in 2013 merged with BOOM! Studios where it continues as an imprint devoted to quality comic books and graphic novels.

Mark's first novel, The Barrow, published by the fantasy imprint Pyr, was a prequel to the Artesia graphic novel series; Mark is self-publishing the sequel novel Black Heart through his new company home, Aegis & Gorgon.
