"He said the Arukh only had one word. It was their word for rage and for pain, for fighting and dying. It was a word spoken in sorrow and anger. It was the word they said to a world that didn't want them, that had no place for them. It was loneliness and defiance and in the end it was sorrow and surrender. ":Arrah" he told me, it was all the words the Arukh needed." "This book is violent and brutal and haunting and beautiful. If I could give this a sixth star, I would" Michael R. Fletcher, Author of Beyond Redemption "D.G. Valdron is an utterly fearless writer. Frankly, I think he's one of the most original writers available today." Amazing Stories Online "The Mermaid's Tale is a fable of personhood wrapped in a murder mystery framed by a fantasy setting, peopled by familiar races that are presented in subtly original ways." Melanie Martila "I absolutely loved this book, it's already one I know I'll remember for a long time. I would never have thought a book about an orc would be one of the best existential works I've ever read." Julia Pike-Kelly
