My Blood The Ink
Once upon a time, Dante Winston Taylor believed in magic. But life, failure, and tragedy has stolen the light from his eyes and left him with a chip on his shoulder. It isn’t until he’s bitten by a talking spider that Dante leaves his life behind, climbs aboard a ship and is immediately lost at sea.
But that’s only the beginning...
My Blood the Ink is a story about old gods and forgotten lands. About secret societies and ancient vendettas. It’s a tale about a young man’s journey to find himself through epic adventures and heart-racing romances that weave him into a tapestry of experiences beyond his wildest imagination.
Most importantly, its a reminder for all the dreamers and wanderers that have buried their belief of the fantastic beneath cynicism, frustration, and despair. Love, hope and magic are still there, waiting for us.
Let’s find them together.
