About this ebook
The Sleeping King is the start of a new fantasy series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Cindy Dees.
Dees has won a Golden Heart Award, two RITAs for Category Suspense and Adventure and has also twice snared RT's Series Romantic Suspense of the Year. She is a great storyteller, and the adventures in her more than fifty novels are often inspired by her own life as the youngest female pilot in Air Force history.
But as much as she love romances, Cindy's other passion has been fantasy gaming. For almost twenty years she's been the story content creator for Dragon Crest, one of the original live action role-playing games. Now, with the blessing and input of Dragon Crest founder Bill Flippin, she has created a trilogoy based on the game.
The Sleeping King is the first in an epic fantasy series featuring the best of the genre: near immortal imperial overlords, a prophecy of a sleeping elven king who's said to be the savior of the races . . . and two young people who are set on a path to save the day.

What a great start to the new fantasy series. The plot is densely crafted in the fashion of high and dark fantasy, giving readers a complex and captivating story to follow. The biggest downfall I saw with this novel was the large amount of world building right at the very beginning. I found the information dump made it difficult to get into the story until we hit the plot proper. That said, this intricately crafted world is now fully set up for this new series. The cast of characters was varied and intriguing. I enjoyed getting to know each of them and their differences. I enjoyed that they were important in and of themselves, not simply in how they served the plot. Their intertwining and merging stories made this one for the records. This is a novel that will be enjoyed by readers of fantasy, regardless of the subgenre. Dees seamlessly combines multiple elements to create a unique and lasting whole. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
