Ever since the dawn of days, rumors about the Diary of
Lucifer echoed throughout Elysium. Hidden from all human knowledge, the Diary
was kept a secret, locked away in the small village of Agalmath.
Isaac and Demetre find themselves in a dangerous journey as
they uncover the truth about the Diary and its guardians. However, for Isaac
and Demetre, danger lies at every step, hidden in the most unexpected places.
Hunted by the Nephilins and the Fallen Stars, they must find
others who will join them in the battle against the coming darkness.
Excerpt
The Whispers of the Fallen - Chapter VI
“They performed the Soul Exchange. Demetre was offered to the
Darkness when he was an infant. This offer gives liberty for any chosen Fallen Star
to take over his body upon his blood maturation. Therefore, Demetre’s fate was
chosen for him.” Devin sighed. “This is a dangerous thing, given that a Fallen
Star is now hosted in a human body. Their tissue, skin and blood have
intertwined. They are one.”
I placed both of my hands on my face, closed my eyes and once
again cried bitterly. Demetre, the person I had known throughout my entire
life, the person that knew me best, died without having a choice. A part of me
wanted to refuse to believe that this was true, but deep inside I knew the
truth had to be embraced now.
Music Playlist
Music played a very important role during the writing
process for The Whispers of the Fallen. Being a musician myself, music has
always helped me dig deeper into certain moments while writing, enabling me to
better understand each character and moment. I even wrote a song called A
Melody for the Fallen. You can download the song at no cost by going to http://www.thewhispersofthefallen.com/#!music/c203t
On my website (http://www.thewhispersofthefallen), I created
two playlists with a couple of songs that helped me overcome writer’s block.
One playlist consists of songs that capture the heart and soul of characters
and key moments on Whispers, while the other playlist contains some of the
songs that I actually listened to during the writing process.

About the Author
J.D.Netto (Jorge de Oliveira Netto) is brazilian-born.
Raised in Framingham, MA, J.D.Netto always had an eye for epic fantasy and
story-telling. At an early age, he had the habit of locking himself in his
room, turning on any soundtrack he could find, and there he would write for
hours.
During his senior year in High School, J.D.Netto had an idea
that changed his life, 'What if Lucifer had a Diary? What if the Diary was a
secret? What if the secret was a reality?' These simple questions led him to
write for six consecutive years, researching, perfecting his craft, and
creating the world of Elysium. All the promotional visuals of the novel,
including the cover, were designed by J.D.Netto, proving that he is not only a
writer, but an innovative visual designer.
