The Son of Sorcery #1
Prince of the Magic
The king to be
My name is Gilcarist. One day, they’ll make me king of Cardoroth. I’m young, and I don’t know what I want in life, but it isn’t that. I’d rather learn magic, and free the talent within me. I could use it to make the world a better place. But no one listens. So, this I swear. Before death sweeps me into oblivion, the world shall hear my voice.
The warrior who was
My name is Brand. I sit as regent on Gilcarist’s throne. I teach him how to rule, but more than that – I show him how to protect himself, for he has enemies who have hated him since before he was born. The blood in his veins makes it so.
The sorceress who would destroy them both
My name is Ginsar. Brand killed my brother. I will have retribution, and the boy Gilcarist will be the instrument of my revenge. No sorcery is too dark, no price too high. I shall destroy them both – one for what he did and one for who he is. And if I topple the world into ruin and flame with them, who shall say I am wrong?

About the author
Robert Ryan
38 books124 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.

Clean and exciting
I am really happy to have discovered this author. Authors like him, are the reason that I am willing to keep kindle unlimited and to wade through the many authors, that at times, make me question whether or not it is worth having. Robert Ryan is definitely worth my time and monthly fee (as is Jeff Wheeler, DK Holmberg, Josi Russell, Kevin L. Nelsen, Charlie Holmsberg and many more..I list these for those of you who like clean fantasy/science fiction) If you like LOTR, you will love this author!

Standard boy king quest S&S
Place names ala Tolkien, usual boy king with wise mentor ala Kurtz, Tolkien and the rest, believe in your magic ala Willow. Meh female characters. I did like Brand.

I enjoyed every moment of this book, it flows nicely without a boring chapter. I very much like the story telling style he writes with making his book a good read.
