About this ebook

Edrun and Jina travel to the Kalalutorm Citadel of Amronulu, where they're greeted like long-lost relatives and offered the hospitality of the house for as long as they want. Now accepted as Lords of the Gathering, members of the ruling aristocracy of the Kalion Islands, Jina begins to heal rapidly but Edrun, plagued by questions and doubts, becomes morose and taciturn.

To help jolly Edrun along, an expedition to the nearby Forest of Rabti where they can spend a few days hunting, drinking, and chasing milkmaids is suggested by friends.

About the author

English born Stephen Symons lives in a little old cottage Christchurch, New Zealand, with wife Ruth and cat Bentley.

He has been fascinated by stories and story-telling ever since he can remember, the stranger the better. He wrote his first fantasy 'novel' at the age of nine, all the while devouring stories by such authors as Edgar Rice Burroughs, J R R Tolkein, Marion Zimmer Bradley and Mary Stewart, all the while developing the world of the Kalion Islands.

Now semi-retired, it was the devastating earthquakes that destroyed much of Christchurch in 2010-2011 that gave him the impetus to set some of his stories down in novel form in order to share them with the world.
