HATE ALWAYS HAS A BEGINNING.

BUT OFTEN REFUSES TO DIE...


In a bygone age, the name Walton was synonymous with terror and dread. Now his shadow covers the isolated village of Whetchilowe Cleave and threatens to extinguish the last flicker of its ancient faith and ways.


Servants to a mighty and ancient tree, the villagers begin sacrificing their most vulnerable at the command of a newly born death cult. But their cruelty awakens something far more terrible than they could ever have imagined. For their devotion will summon Walton—the most feared warrior in the land—and unleash a chain of violence, hatred and vengeance that will consume them all.


Centuries later, a young descendant of Walton will enter the ruins of that cursed place, where the old hatred still lingers. Will he become the next victim of his ancestor's legacy and pay the ultimate price for crimes committed long before he was born?


The Birth of Mallus is a dark and unsettling prequel to The Dreadful Demise of Jake Walton, a book which the author recommends reading after this novella to truly understand the nightmare world Jake enters.

Suspenseful

This is a good story, quite chilling in parts as it delves into the minds of two dangerous individuals each motivated by self righteous beliefs. Definitely worth a read.

Definitely recommend

As a free read, you can't complain, but in fairness, I really enjoyed this novella. It's very atmospheric and in parts pretty chilling, with lots of machinations in the background. I'd agree with a previous reviewer that a couple of scenes are pretty gruesome, but I think they are essential for the overall plot. Having read this ebook, it makes sense of the Dreadful Demise of Jake Walton, which is great fun, and the prequel/sequel to this novella. It explains why the protagonist is so despised in that book.

I definitely recommend this one.

Dark and suspenseful

I read this after reading The Dreadful Demise of Jake Walton. Set long before that book, it gives the background to why Jake is so hated and persecuted. But unlike the former book, this novella is a lot darker and there is one gory scene in particular that some might find unsettling. Aside from that, it’s a great read, which I really enjoyed. .
