Having written The Druids Of Pneuma, I began to get inspirations for furthering the story with sequels and prequels. Malinkar was a great villain in my eyes, but very little was known about him in the book. Such a strong character deserved a backstory of his own. After living through several months of narcissistic abuse and then discard, I needed something to occupy my mind to help cease the nightmarish mindset that came with it. I utilised this trauma to come up with the story’s plot. Imagine being someone with vengeful tendencies and losing everything you loved via someone you respected, then finding out you was capable of doing something about it.
This gamebook is not for kids. The theme is very adult and it is written quite graphically in some areas. The reason being, I think it was best to tell of Malinkar’s tale in raw detail so we understand his torment, corruption and hatred for certain people better. It starts with Malinkar coming of age and wrestling with the emotions that come with it. He always knew he was a little different, but didn’t realise how so. Others couldn’t see things he could as he grew up, and he would be mocked and socially outcast by school peers. Then, one night, he hears a voice calling his name…
Malinkar: Lord Of Enmity is scheduled for release in the New Year as the fourth book in my Literally Immersive Gamebooks series.
