Synopsis

Two warriors, masters of conflict, one disciplined, stoical and focused, the other, wild of nature, savage of disposition. Both are fashioned as humanity's saviours: a powerful, jealous Krarl rejected by all, a noble Morgan responsible for future peace, still uncertain of his direction.
Morgan, a supreme Battle Lord with mysterious powers, hides himself as an adviser to parochial kings. Exposed by fate, war finds him as an ambitious general representing the greedy empire of the Protectorate. With his forces defeated in the field and his king killed, Morgan flees with his young protégé Nathaniel.
The ensuing journey is fraught with hardship, strife, betrayal, and close-order combat as Morgan seeks out old alliances to seize back what has been unjustly taken. Is Kingship truly his aim? Viewed with suspicion by his peers, his task is further complicated by the unfathomable, age-old relationship between him and his twin, who harbours a deep-seated bitterness towards his brother's destiny.

About this title

About the Author

With a long journey of years and distance behind him, the author decided to follow his heart. He turned his hand again to what he loved most and brought him solace and joy in his youth - books. With his son grown and a new family around him, he graduated from reading into writing - an unimaginable step. His first attempt was 'A Place to Belong To'. He has just completed and published number nine, 'Dying Under an Empty Blue Sky', a dystopian novel about the last remnants of humanity hanging on after the fall due to the Climate Crisis. Have we learnt anything from our misguided priorities? Will we survive or fade away from a world that has already dismissed us? We live through the stories we create. Let's hope we can learn from them. The future remains unwritten.
