HARVENGER DEFINITION:
har.ven.ger (n) 1. that which is followed by, or heralds death. 2. a person, object or thing that brings death.
Most people confuse the word Harbinger for Harvenger. But a Harbinger is merely a person who goes ahead and heralds the arrival of another or can also be an ill omen. However an ill omen can be virtually anything from loosing your wallet to the approach of a dark cloud that doesn't necessarily present itself as a portent of doom.
On the other hand Harvenger is a word that does not exist in the English dictionary but it is what many perceive as a word. When I began writing Harvenger 1 I wanted it to be more than just an ill omen and to give a background to what most people think Harvenger is i.e the bringer of Death and symbolism so powerful that there is no escape from its clutches.
My character, Lauryl LeMont, unknowingly and unwittingly becomes Death's Harvenger and my first story backgrounds the rise of the Harvengers giving it a history and a meaning beyond just an ill omen.

Set in Europe at the turn of the 17th century, a time when the world was stalked by Witch-finders, and where new and deadly weapons of war crushed bastions of stone that had stood for centuries. The story follows a young woman, Lauryl LeMont, who after the death of her parents must survive on her own. But her beauty and vulnerability are a target even for the most pious of men and she is soon catapulted into a struggle for her survival. Accused of witchcraft and murder she is sentenced to burn at the stake.
But when Death arrives to claim her soul he finds that this woman awakens an emotion in him that his own once mortal soul had long forgotten, one
that should never have been rekindled. Confused and curious the Grim Reaper decides to let the flame inside him burn. A decision that will change history and make Lauryl immortal.
