The literary world is buzzing with the arrival of Blood Moon Rising, Bryan Kurt’s latest venture into dark fantasy. Set in the mysterious Land of Dodd, this story dives deep into themes of survival, unlikely friendships, and the blurred line between heroism and monstrosity.
At its core, Blood Moon Rising follows a group of unconventional heroes: Barnabiz, the flamboyant ogre bard; Lupine, a goblin rogue with sharp wits and a sharper tongue; Drak, a dragon-born cleric battling inner demons; and their equally colorful companions. Together, they face an unforgiving landscape, ancient curses, and relentless foes, all while trying to hold their fragile alliance together.
The blood moon is more than a backdrop in this tale—it’s a catalyst for transformation. As it rises, secrets are revealed, and tensions boil over. The group finds themselves grappling with not just external dangers but also the shadows within their own hearts. Each character is pushed to the brink, forced to confront who they are and who they might become.
Despite the grim setting, Blood Moon Rising finds room for humor. The characters’ banter and absurd situations create moments of levity, balancing the darker, more intense scenes. It’s this mix of the grotesque and the hilarious that makes the story feel raw and real, like life itself.
Beyond the battles and bloodshed, the novel is a reflection on choice and transformation. Each character’s journey feels personal, relatable, and deeply human, even when the characters themselves aren’t quite human. It’s about facing past mistakes, searching for redemption, and figuring out who you want to be in a world that’s anything but kind.
Readers who have gotten a sneak peek at Blood Moon Rising can’t stop talking about it. The rich world-building, the bold narrative, and the unforgettable characters make it a story that sticks with you. It’s a book that’s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.
Bryan Kurt has a knack for storytelling that’s raw, evocative, and unfiltered. His work challenges the norms of fantasy, creating worlds and characters that are as flawed and fascinating as the people around us. Blood Moon Rising is no exception.
Blood Moon Rising is out now in print and digital formats. For anyone looking for a story that’s equal parts dark, funny, and deeply moving, this is one not to miss.
