About this ebook

When Dante Galand was just a boy, his father Larsin sailed away to make his fortune. And never returned. Since then, Dante has become a great sorcerer. A ruler. A destroyer of kings. And he's just learned that his father is living on a forbidden island at the edge of the known world. 

Where he's dying of a mysterious plague.

In the company of his friend, the swordsman Blays, Dante travels to the island. There, his magic can do nothing for his father. As Dante and Blays quest for a cure—beset by strange beasts, angry spirits, and violent coastal raiders known as the Tauren—Dante falls sick, too.

To save his father and himself, he'll have to rediscover the island's long-lost magic. But the hunt for its secrets leads Dante on a crash course with the Tauren—and island-wide civil war.

And as he's away, an old threat begins to move against his homeland.

Set in a USA Today-bestselling world, THE RED SEA is the first in a trilogy of warfare, sorcery, and friendship through the darkest times.

Ratings and reviews

If I hadn't read the previous books I would have wondered what was going on. They are really good books in general although this one seemed to have been stopped and started in odd places. The Epilogue seemed like a prologue. I would still recommend reading them but only if you have read the others first

Robertson is the king of the opening line. With characters we already know he once again embroils is in a world of magic and confusion. While making us stop, evaluate that which we think to be true, and then leap back in for more.

The Cycle of Arawn trilogy was mystifying, the Red Sea has carried the magic further. I can't wait for the upcoming two books. Hats off to you sir!!
