À propos de cet ebook

Desperate to free the royal hostages, Will Prentis and King Krasmir of Rogand face off against the scheming Grand Vizier of Ahr. As the specter of war looms ever larger, only the Emperor of Ahr has the power to avert catastrophe.

Everything will depend on three remarkable talismans, and the courage of those bearing them into deadly peril.

Quelques mots sur l'auteur

Allan Packer writes epic fantasy. The books in The Stone Cycle series are his first published fiction.

Allan grew up surrounded by books and became an avid reader during his childhood. In his university years fantasy displaced science fiction as his favorite genre, thanks primarily to J. R. R. Tolkien. He later shared this love with his four children by reading The Lord of the Rings to them aloud - a three-month marathon he completed twice during their formative years.

Born in Australia, Allan has lived and worked on three continents, and spent one quarter of his working years abroad. Having worked as an IT professional throughout his career, he was first published as a technical author.

Today he lives with his wife in Adelaide, South Australia, near their children and a small but growing band of grandchildren.

Allan is currently actively planning his second fantasy series.
