In A LAND OF FIRE (BOOK #12 IN THE SORCERER’S RING), Gwendolyn and her people find themselves surrounded on the Upper Isles, besieged by Romulus’ dragons and his million man army. All seems lost—when salvation comes from an unlikely source.

Gwendolyn is determined to find her baby, lost at sea, and to lead her nation-in-exile to a new home. She travels across foreign and exotic seas, encountering unthinkable dangers, rebellion and starvation, as they sail for dream of a safe harbor.

Thorgrin’s finally meets his mother in the Land of the Druids, and their meeting will change his life forever, make him stronger than he has ever been. With a new quest, he embarks, determined to rescue Gwendolyn, to find his baby, and to fulfill his destiny. In an epic battle of dragons and of men, Thor will be tested in every way; as he battles monsters and lays down his life for his brothers, he will dig deeper to become the great warrior he was meant to be.

In the Southern Isles, Erec lies dying, and Alistair, accused of his murder, must do what she can to both save Erec and absolve herself of guilt. A civil war erupts in a power struggle for the throne, and Alistair finds herself caught in the middle, with her fate, and Erec’s, hanging in the balance.

Romulus remains intent on destroying Gwendolyn, Thorgrin, and what remains of the Ring; but his moon cycle is coming to an end, and his power will be severely tested.

Meanwhile, in the Northern province of the Empire, a new hero is rising: Darius, a 15 year old warrior, who is determined to break off the chains of slavery and rise up amongst his people. But the Northern Capitol is run by Volusia, a 18 year old girl, famed for her beauty—and famed also her barbaric cruelty.

Will Gwen and her people survive? Will Guwayne be found? Will Romulus crush the Ring? Will Erec live? Will Thorgrin return in time?

With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A LAND OF FIRE is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.

Ratings and reviews

I really wish Rice would fire her proof reader. I also wish that she would condense this series into novels. Thor has 10 more freaking quests to complete. So far it has taken him 12 pitifully short books to complete 2. I like the story, but a 185 page book is ridiculous. The next book will pick up like this book never ended. Just make them novels and release 2 or 3 a year. Something I can spend more than a day on would be great. I'll continue to purchase the upcoming books with a certain degree of annoyance

Okay, despite these books having a very similar lay out to a few better known authors I decided to give it a chance, it was quite a well written piece, but like so many other people I've found as it goes on the books start to read like a child has written them and now just to find out how it ends we've to pay £3.99 for each book with no end game anywhere in sight! I for one have run out of interest, I'm off to read game of thrones!

Am also hooked, but agree with others, when will there be a conclusion. When I started I thought there were only 13 books. It now looks like it will never end and because I am reading one after another I see a bit of repetition in the writing. Also the errors in typing are annoying. Guess it's a good way to make money for the author, make the stories short and keep adding books. Not sure how many more books I will buy, may just have to give up on this.
