Archonia was built on magic and the ashes of a fallen empire.
Ruled by an Archon who has remained on the throne longer than any before him, some fear the pillars of the kingdom grow weak. Others that a tyrant has seized control.
And a resistance is building.
In the tiny village of Riverbend, brothers Vander and Cayden prepare for the summer harvest and care not about the politics of the capital. But when a stranger from their past arrives with a warning, Vander and Cayden are thrust into a conflict that's been brewing since before they were born.
The world doesn't know, however, that they hold both the key to peace, as well as a terrible secret that could tear the kingdom apart from the inside.
The Heir of Archonia is a love letter to traditional epic fantasy written for fans of The Wheel of Time, Shannara, and The Bound and the Broken.
A brutal coup ends a family line. Or so it thought. Hidden in a remote village two brothers intend to take a kingdom back. Ravenous bloodthirsty creatures hunting each step.
A battle mage/elemental magic whirlwind of action. A tale of courage, resilience & brotherly love.
Classic fantasy themes but done really well. I was hooked right away. The book really never slows but it’s packed with a lot of heart. Essentially a book about family.
