Chronicles of Hawklan #3
The Waking of Orthlund
Fyorlund has fallen. The City of Vakloss has felt the terrifying Power that lies behind the evil Lord Dan-Tor and King Rgoric lies dead, murdered by Dan-Tor who is now master of Fyorlund and ready to unleash the Dark Lord Sumeral's dread power over all the lands.Yet Dan-Tor has been grievously wounded by Hawklan's arrow, and, against impossible odds, not all hope has been swallowed by the Darkness. Sylvriss, Rgoric's Queen, has escaped the blighted City to rally the Lords in Exile. In peaceful Orthlund the arts of war are painfully relearned. In the East, ancient foes of Sumeral are at last remembering their vows.All look to the healer Hawklan for leadership. But he has lain in a coma since his confrontation with Dan-Tor, walking in a world from which none can call him back.And in the mountains an ancient race stirs, but its allegiance is as yet unknown... The Waking of Orthlund is the third book of "The Chronicles of Hawklan".

About the author
Roger Taylor
16 books22 followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information.
Roger Taylor was born in Heywood, Lancashire, and now lives in the Wirral. He is a chartered civil and structural engineer, a pistol, rifle and shotgun shooter, instructor/student in aikido, and an enthusiastic and loud but bone-jarringly inaccurate piano player.
He wrote four books between 1983 and 1986 and built up a handsome rejection file before the third was accepted by Headline to become the first two books of the Chronicles of Hawklan.

Just okay. The story is coming together and the author has some decent ideas. But overall, I feel the books would do better if they had a better editor. The dialogue through out the books really needs a lot of improvement.

A lot of meandering before a rather swift conclusion. However, the story still flows mostly nice.
Looking forward to book 4
