HTML: A REIGN OF STEEL is Book #11 in the Bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING, which begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (book #1)â??a free download on Kobo!
In A REIGN OF STEEL (BOOK #11 IN THE SORCERER'S RING), Gwendolyn must protect her people as she finds King's Court under siege. She strives to evacuate them from the Ringâ??but there is one problem: her people refuse to leave. As a power struggle ensues, Gwen finds her queenship under challenge for the first timeâ??while the greatest threat to the Ring looms.
Behind the McClouds lie the threat of Romulus and his dragons, who, with the Shield destroyed, embark on a catastrophic invasion, nothing left to stand between them and the complete annihilation of the Ring. Romulus, with Luanda at his side, is unstoppable while the moon lasts, and Gwen must fight for survivalâ??for herself, for her baby, and for her peopleâ??amidst an epic battle of dragons, and of men. Kendrick leads the Silver in a valiant battle, and he is joined by Elden and the new Legion recruits, along with his brother Godfrey, who surprises everyone, including himself, with his acts of valor. But even so, it may not all be enough.
Thor, meanwhile, embarks on the quest of his life in the Land of the Druids, trekking across a fearsome and magical land, a land unlike any other, with magical rules out of its own. Crossing this land will require every ounce of strength and training he has, will force him to dig deeper within, to become the great warriorâ??and Druidâ??he was meant to be. As he encounters monsters and challenges unlike ever before, he will have to lay down his life to try to reach his mother.
Erec and Alistair journey to the Southern Isles, where they are greeted by all of his people, including his competitive brother and envious sister. Erec has a dramatic final meeting with his father, as the island prepares for him to ascend the throne as King. But in the Southern Isles, one must fight for the right to be King, and in an epic battle, Erec will be tested as never before. In a dramatic twist, we learn that treachery hides even here, in this place of noble and great warriors.
Reece, embattled and surrounded on the Upper Isles, must fight for his life after his vengeance on Tirus. Desperate, he finds himself united with Stara, each wary of the other, yet untied in a quest to surviveâ??one that will culminate in an epic battle at sea and will threaten the entire island.
Will Gwen cross the sea to safety? Will Romulus destroy the Ring? Will Reece and Stara be together? Will Erec rise as King? Will Thor find his mother? What will become of Guwayne? Will anyone be left alive?
With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A REIGN OF STEEL 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.

The horse laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; he does not shy from the sword. Â He cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. Â At the blast of the trumpet, he snorts: "Hurrah!"

| Citat |
Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera om du vill anpassa till ditt språk. "You are Queen. Sometimes force must be used. Not only against one's enemies. But even against one's people. Do what you know. Do not always seek your people's approval. Approval is an elusive thing. Sometimes, when your people hate you the most, that is a sign that you are doing the best thing for them. Your father was blessed with a reign of peace. But you, Gwendolyn, you will have a far greater test: you will have a reign of steel." "Prepare yourself, young Thorgrin, and steel yourself to control the hardest, greatest, most unwieldy weapon of all: your mind." "You will have to learn to purge yourself of the demons that lurk within you. Of old, painful memories. Of anyone who mistreated you. Of feelings of anger, hate, vengeance. Of hurt and pain. You must learn ago rise above them, to leave them in the past. It is the ultimate test of a warrior -- and of a Druid." "Your father was born into rank and privilege," she said. "He was born to be a king. You, on the other hand, had nothing expected of you, being the middle child. You came to it on your own. You did not accept the status quo, but rather you sought out for yourself the best way to live and you came to your conclusions in your own right. [...] You transcended who you were. It is easy to become a warrior when being a warrior is all that one's ever don; it is much harder, though, when one comes to it late in life, when one decides on one's own that he can be a warrior, too, just like anybody else." You're stronger than any evil in the universe. You and the universe are not separate. Do not resist the energy around you. And most of all, do not resist yourself. For a commander to win, his plan must be two-thirds logic and one-third madness. He began to see that everything he manifested in the universe was a result of how he felt about himself. All the dark forces, they were real, and yet they were also figments of himself that he had to overcome. The deepest, hardest foe to overcome was how he felt about himself. He had viewed himself his entire life, he realized it now, as undeserving.  He still did now.  When he let go of that, when he accepted himself fully and completely, just for who he was than all doors in the universe would open for him.  That was the final step towards conquering himself. | |
