Raithlindrath #2
Lore of the Letharn
Men hunt him. Magic stalks him. A hero's heart drives him.
Lanrik's enemies will stop at nothing to claim his legendary sword. He'll do anything to keep them from it - until they poison Erlissa and give him an unthinkable choice.
In their hands, the sword will bring mayhem and ruin. But without the cure they offer in exchange, the girl he loves will die. Trapped by a soul-crushing dilemma, he fights back with a daring plan. It offers hope to save Erlissa, and a chance to prevent chaos, but at a price that few would pay.
He begins a quest to challenge fate itself, for it will lead him to the tombs of the Letharn - the very place where Erlissa foretold his death.
But fate and death are not the only powers in the world, nor the greatest. Even as he travels, ancient forces stir, and the land teeters on the brink of destruction.
An epic story spanning realms, empires, lands of beauty and peril, ten thousand years of history, the battles of men, the struggles of light against dark, the striving of courage against despair and the destiny of one man, born into an age when the very powers that form and substance the world vie for dominion.

About the author
Robert Ryan
38 books120 followersI am a man born in the wrong era. My heart yearns for faraway places and even further afield times. Tolkien had me at the beginning of The Hobbit when he said, ". . . one morning long ago in the quiet of the world . . ."
I love to read high fantasy and epic fantasy novels, and I have a passion to write, to weave a story with words that draws the reader into another world.

Solid, but uninspiring. The author needs to raise the tension in future novels, if he truly wants to emulate his idols Tolkien, Terry Brooks and David Eddings. For now this is a nice dose of nostalgia, no more and no less.

Getting better but still a bit traditional and standard fair.
