Shadows of Lyonesse - Epic fantasy brimming with action and magic, set in the time of Atlantis.: Epic fantasy brimming with action and magic, set in the time of Atlantis.
The Kingdom of Lyonesse, symbol of power and strength in the Western Kingdoms. The ancient home of the Temple Knights and the druids serving in the light of Sunna. A beautiful land of rolling green hills and azure blue waters where people live in grace and harmony, wanting for nothing except to show kindness to their fellow countrymen. Yet in the shadows, something stirs. A vile evil slowly takes hold in this fair land and with it comes violence and cruelty none have experienced since the early days of the Kingdom. It creeps from the shadows corrupting everything that it touches, growing stronger, spreading its wicked depravity silently, unnoticed. Lyonesse teeters on the brink of civil war, endangering the reign of the heirless royal family, and threatening the stability of the Western Kingdoms. Will chaos and evil bring boundless ruin upon the realm? Will hopeless despair, a ravaged country and tyranny prevail? Perault, a young man barely a Knight may hold the key. A key that may open doors leading him to a fight for his very soul, the soul of a kingdom, the soul of a woman he loves more than life itself, and the destiny of a bloodline fated to change the course of history. Nothing is certain in this timeless battle. Except death.
Born in Homestead, Florida, Ravek Hunter grew up in the United States and Belgium. He earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Florida International University and went on to become a sporting goods executive. He currently serves as a consultant in the same industry and occasionally assists his wife of twenty years at her floral design company. The proud father of two boys, Ravek counts reading, exercising, and family travel among his leisure hobbies. Over the past four decades, Ravek’s passion has been researching ancient civilizations with a focus on the origin stories behind their mythology. His writing style attempts to immerse the reader into the story by bringing to life historically accurate, rich details of the culture and time-period that frame the narrative. Inspired by classic fantasy authors like Robert Jordan, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, and R. A. Salvatore, Ravek writes to entertain and provoke his readers, who, he hopes, share his fondness for mythology.
