Neverking: Prince of the Elves

by George Avgoustis, Leigh Donovan (Illustrator)

Ever heard of Epic Fantasy Elves? How about the coming of age of a Prince? Manipulating Fate? Wizards fighting beasts? Well, we’ve come to the right place.

“Neverking”, a Young Adult irresistible and enthralling story that takes you on a quest, no questions asked. Ready or not, the King of Elves is cursed, and his son, obviously the Prince, must save him. What does he have to do to save him? Simply defeat the hordes of thousands of corrupted warriors, as easy as that.
And guess who’s with him? A bunch of Humans, a Warlock, a Dwarf, a Woodelf, and a bard. Yes, you' re right; zero chances of surviving.

And if you think that’s all the Prince’s problems, you are mistaken. Add an enchanted scepter, a tyrant of a king, sorcery that will break your neck in a twist, a sword with magical powers, and you’ve got yourself the first installment of the “Neverking” series.

Dark magic users and evil beasts beware; Prince Avador Andor’s out there…

About the author

George Avgoustis was born to Cypriot parents in 1972 in Toronto, Canada and was raised in Fort McMurray, Alberta where he lived most of his life enjoying the northern “boom-town” nestled within a forest. He graduated high school there and enrolled in a few courses at Keyano College. His love for imaginative writing was fuelled by his teachers, who saw potential for his writing to go further than the classrooms. A story, ignited from childhood role-playing, became Avgoustis’ focus for his first published novel, the epic fantasy “Neverking”.

Avgoustis moved to the island of Cyprus in 2003 where he met his wife and had three children. There, he wrote his first book which was published in 2009 and released as an eBook in 2011. A re-launching of this book is in progress while Avgoustis finishes Neverking’s sequel plus a third future installment, which will be a prequel to the duology.

Reviews

[Aristodemos Ioannou · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Coming of age shouldn't be that hard" says in the book's description...Yeah, I agree with that one.
But when you are the Prince of Elves, and you have to fight to save your world, then coming of age becomes extremly difficult, doesn't it?
This is a story that really has everything a splendid fantasy story should; magic, battles, beasts, heroes, corruption, friendship, loyalty, humanoid races, etc etc etc. Don't let me take up your precious reading time; you should be reading the book itself, not my review.
Nevertheless, this book combines your everyday Epic Fantasy storyline, along with a strong dosage of how a friend should react in times of need, a best friend.
And how a son should react, when his father is threatened with eternal damnation.
And how a prince should react, when the hordes of chaotic evilness rise to strike them.
And as I already said, you should be reading this!

The author is a disgusting Kremlin propagandist and supporters of Russia's invasion and killing in Ukraine. Spends his days on Twitter trolling Ukrainian people about the invasion. A really nasty piece of work. This book is best used as toilet paper.
