Ghostwalker (novel)

"This scar on my arm is the mark of the thin man’s sword.

These on my chest, the barbarian’s gyrspike.

This, on my shoulder, the woodsman’s axe.

And this rasping whisper, all that is left of my voice, it is the scar of the Lord Singer’s jealousy.

They took my voice and my life and left my body for the crows. But not all who die rest in peace."

Each novel in the Fighters series is written as a stand-alone adventure, allowing new readers an easy entry point into the Forgotten Realms world. This novel is a classic revenge story that focuses on a man in black with ghostly powers who seeks vengeance upon those who caused his death many years ago.

Erik describes the novel as a dark fantasy-western similar to Kill Bill or Desperado. He is happy with the published version, although feels that if he had commenced fencing as a hobby before completing it, he would have written the scene with Torlic differently.

Erik also wrote a free online companion story entitled Wayfarer, which is similar to a prequel to the novel.
