Produktbeschreibung

Raised by his uncle, half-elven Toran struggles to control his barbarian heritage and fit into conservative elven society. When he releases his control to save a friend from a spell gone wrong, elven bigots force him into exile. Following his uncle's advice, he goes to Eridan and finds work at a rundown tavern in the city's seedy quarter. While watching a parade, Toran combines his keen elven senses and barbarian battle skills to thwart an assassination attempt on the future queen. His actions earn him an invitation to join the secret protectors of Eridan, the Warders, whose leaders own the tavern.

After the princess is poisoned, the Warders mobilize to save her and prevent war. Toran, a veteran dwarf agent, and the princess's lady in waiting embark on a mission to retrieve the antidote's key ingredient. Other agents infiltrate royal society and work with the thieves' guild to protect the comatose princess and capture the assassin. Working against them is the assassin's master, the sorceress Skade, who's also working with a traitor within the royal household.

Autorenporträt

Unlike many authors, Armen was not an early reader. He can honestly say that he didn't voluntarily read a book until he finished The Hobbit in sixth grade. After that reading became a vice as he ravenously devoured science fiction and fantasy stories. Taking a more practical approach to college, he earned a BS in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he was an Honorable-Mention All-American swimmer his senior year.

Commissioned as an officer in the USAF, he quickly found his way into systems development. After working on top secret 'Area 51' projects, where he never saw a single alien (dead or alive), he left the service and earned an MBA from the University of North Carolina. He spent a decade riding the internet wave and moving through five different states. After the wave crashed his environmental interest led him to join a second generation bio-fuels company making fuel out of wood chips, corn cobs, and other agricultural waste. A highlight was presenting ideas to jumpstart the industry to United States House and Senate staffers.

Looking for something new, he and his wife opened a group of franchised hair salons. In addition to grounding them in one place, he finally found time to write those stories that had been bouncing around in his head since high school. His stories mix elements of science and history with a healthy dose of fantasy.
