Produktbeschreibung

Kaplyn yearns to escape the tedium of court. Most people would envy him, seeing him as pampered and spoilt, but this is not Kaplyn. He finds contentment in a simple life, hunting with his friend Hanneth, the Royal Gamekeeper, who is more of a father than the King he rarely sees.

However, something is driving him to leave and perhaps fate has taken a hand, for a crisis is fast approaching. The people have largely forgotten their history and the horror of Krell Wars is but a distant memory. The prophecy predicting the rise of evil has become but a game for children.

As Kaplyn leaves the palace in the dead of night, convinced that a few weeks away will see his brothers sick with envy, events are unfolding which will drive him to the very brink of despair. His father, the King, is suppressing recent news about growing numbers of krell raids and the uncertainty that demons may once again be crossing the Great Divide, separating the worlds.

A short adventure will bind Kaplyn to a self-confessed sorcerer, Vastra, perhaps the last of his kind. Vastra lusts for power and harbours a secret for which he will kill to protect. Kaplyn must soon choose between his family and the safety of the land. Fate determines that he must follow the path of an ancient race, saviours of the Krell Wars. But, what will be waiting for him at journey's end?

Prophecy of the Kings, of which this is book 1, won a Gold Award on one website in 2010

Autorenporträt

David Burrows is the author of the award winning fantasy trilogy the Prophecy of the Kings (Gold Award 2010 Readersfavorite.com) and the prequel Drachar's Demons. Prophecy of the Kings was also Book of the Month on SFbooks.com. Sample chapters and reviews can be found at David's website http://davidburrows.org.uk/. Drachar's Demons is FREE currently, as an introduction to my novels.

David has lived in Blackpool, Liverpool, Edinburgh and he now resides in the garden of England, Kent. He was a Captain in the TA (2/52 Lowland), an experienced mountain climber and more recently has taken part in Saxon/Viking re-enactment. David's fantasy writing has benefited from these real life experiences: hours slogging up and down mountains and fighting in a shield wall and although never maimed or killed, David has broken bones on several occasions, so the fighting at times has felt very real.

As with most aspiring authors, David's writing is part time, with the plots progressing in the evenings and holidays and also during his wife's pregnancies. At times David's tales seemed to naturally take the characters into extreme peril, and for months he was left wondering as to their fate. Refusing to rewrite the tale to rescue them he patiently waited before inspiration struck and the story continued at a fast pace to the next cliff-hanger. Suffice to say David's two sons have now grown up and, as the quill dries, are of an age to read and appreciate this work and to develop their own writing. As to the characters in David's tales, they too have grown older and wiser; as to whether they survived the tale, only reading the novel will tell.

David hopes you take time to check out his works and enjoy them.
