Synopsis

“After many years of reading this genre, it’s difficult to surprise me. Well, I’m surprised.” 5 stars.

Born a secret, raised in silence, the forest knows a truth he must learn to hear.

Fel’annįr carries the silver hair and chiselled features of the Alpine elves alongside the deep forest soul of the Silvans. His face garnered hatred, kindled love, inspired loyalty — and brought persecution. Determined to forge his own destiny among the immortal warriors of Ea Uaré, he arrives at the king’s realm as a novice, his ancient magic still unformed, his blood a secret that powerful men would kill to suppress.
But the Great Forest is at war. Sand Lords press from the north, Deviants stalk the borderlands, and a grieving king grows distant from his fractured kingdom. As Fel’annįr rises through trial, sword and the fierce bonds of brotherhood, the trees themselves begin to sing his name — and those who have buried his true heritage know their time is running out.

From novice warrior to legend, the journey begins here.

“This is not your typical epic fantasy series. It’s an entire universe of characters you will never forget.”
“Written in a style more reminiscent of Tolkien than many modern fantasy stories. There is a level of detail that paints each scene on a canvas, while the story itself grabs hold of you and refuses to let go.”

Review

A brilliant and exciting work of fantasy

If you only have time to read one book this year, it has to be this one!

A one-sit roller-coaster ride of adventure, courage and mystery.

A charming series in which readers young and old alike cannot help but find themselves -- and their imaginations --happily lost.

Rich language, vivid descriptions, real reactions, and a plausible plot. Wrapped up in a Tolkienesque package of epic fantasy delight.

A truly wonderful fantasy novel with its heart very much based on Tolkien's fabulous works yet not overwhelmed by them.

About the Author

I write epic fantasy for young adults and adults alike. I love battles, warriors, great adventures - elves, monsters and generally weird things, but above all, I love a good story. My first project is Path of a Novice, a coming-of-age tale revolving around the character of Fel'annįr, Green Sun. The second book in the series, Road of a Warrior, is approaching the editing stage and a projected third book should see the light in 2018.
