Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, Joshua Olivieri is joining me to talk about his debut book, The Fifth Commander.What’s it about?When the hero chosen by the divine becomes a tyrant, who is strong enough to kill him?The Alkatharos, Valazar’s prophesied savior, has ruled for five centuries. However, peace is but a memory for its people. A rebellion gnaws at the borders of His Lordship, and whispers of a traitor within His walls turn fear into panic.Gallen Tramore, the feared Fifth Commander of the Alkatharos, is sent to expose and slay the traitor. What he uncovers instead is a betrayal that shatters his faith in his master, his home, and his comrades.To discover the truth, Gallen commits a crime worthy of death: abandoning his post. Now declared a traitor, Gallen is hunted by those he once bled alongside. Caught between centuries-old vendettas and a forbidden power that should’ve stayed buried, Gallen must decide where his loyalties lie and if he is strong enough to defy an immortal legend.Where to get the book: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joshuaolivieri/the-fifth-commanderWhere to find our guest:Facebook author page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587664119664LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-olivieri-555760bb/Website: https://joshuaolivieriauthor.com/Where to find your host: Melinda’s website: https://melindakucsera.com/
