Synopsis

Forsake the real life. Embrace the fantasy.

The Song of the Prophet has long foretold that an apocalypse of storms, pestilence and war would tear the land of Rhye asunder. The path to salvation is obscure - hope seems to lie in a mysterious saviour, somewhere beyond the Seventh Sea.

For friends Mustapha, Harold, Meadow and Dique, a moment of mischief leads to the greatest adventure of their lives. A simple heist turned sour hurls them into a monumental journey, culminating at the heart of Rhye's crisis. Along the way, all the existential questions are asked: Can true love heal the gravest ill? Will the Gods of old hear a solemn plea? Most importantly - can pixies survive without cheese or drowseberry wine?

'The King of Rhye' is part fairy tale, part dark fantasy, part whimsy and all heart, as the glorious legacy of rock band Queen is realised in a full-blown literary adventure for the ages.

About this title

About the Author

Craig Mulhall is a Medical Oncologist from Queensland, Australia. He is also an active member of the Australian Society of Authors. The lure of writing fairy tales - and a staunch love of classic rock - drew him from his literary shell to pen his debut fantasy epic, 'The King of Rhye'.Craig's varied publishing history includes the lyrics for two songs, 'A Tale of Rhye' and 'Long Live the King'. These tracks, recorded by French musicians Fat Bottomed Boys, were released on all major music streaming platforms in late 2021, and compliment 'The King of Rhye'.By way of versatility, Craig has also produced a non-fiction medical treatise on the use of cytokine therapy for advanced cervical cancer, in 2014.
