Lore of the Letharn

Raithlindrath #2

by Robert Ryan

Men hunt him. Magic stalks him. A hero's heart drives him.

Lanrik's enemies will stop at nothing to get 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 wreak mayhem upon the land. But without the cure they offer in exchange, the girl he loves will die. Cornered, he fights back with a daring plan. It offers hope to save Erlissa, and a chance to prevent chaos, but at a price 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.

About the author

I 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.
