The Horseman of Death is the first book in the series Tiamat’s Calling. It can be read as stand alone fantasy romance with no cliffhanger.

“So, you don’t deny being a black mage. You’re an Infernian, of the Dark Kingdom.” When he did not respond, I dared look at him. He stood on his legs once again, and his clear blue eyes stared straight into mine. I could have sworn Celest had manipulated time around us, as it seemed that everything had frozen. “The Dark Kingdom, you say? I’ve heard worse names for it.” “Any kingdom that seeks to hurt another is dark. I think the name suits it.” Everything had ended two decades earlier when the war had devastated everyone, and the dark fog had spread among the subjects of the kingdoms. But hope was rekindled on Ashland’s twenty-first birthday, when the white onyx she had received from her parents, moments before she had to part from them, started to glow. Wishful, hoping to restore peace to all the kingdoms, Ashland prepares to go on a journey with Kato, her loyal knight, at her side, along with other companions. Ashland intends to claim her rightful place on the throne of Almora. However, dark forces who desire the power she possesses will stop at nothing to prevent her from fulfilling her fate. Ashland is destined to discover that her greatest enemy is also her most important ally, or perhaps it isn’t so? Was he about to lead her to her doom? Is there life after death, and is death nothing more than life? The Horseman of Death is Nica’s debut novel, and the first book in the series Tiamat’s Calling. This is an erotic epic fantasy, filled with upheavals and surprises that will leave the reader breathless till the very last page.

Nica is a romantic fantasy author, who toys with light and darkness. Ever since she can remember herself, she had been living in two worlds; in a realm of romance, twinkly lights and magic; and a land of gore and horror. After having read every book on every shelf, with Stephen King being her absolute favorite, watching countless hours of anime, playing video games and travelling the world, Nica decided it was time to stop writing to herself, and share her fantastical dreams and nightmares with the whole world. Nica’s debut novel is “The Horseman of Death”, but as long as her imagination keeps running wild, be ready for more… a lot more…
