The #1 Bestseller!

A QUEST OF HEROES (BOOK #1 IN THE SORCERER’S RING) revolves around the epic coming of age story of one special boy, a 14 year old from a small village on the outskirts of the Kingdom of the Ring. The youngest of four, the least favorite of his father, hated by his brothers, Thorgrin senses he is different from the others. He dreams of becoming a great warrior, of joining the King’s men and protecting the Ring from the hordes of creatures on the other side of the Canyon. When he comes of age and is forbidden by his father to try out for the King’s Legion, he refuses to take no for an answer: he journeys out on his own, determined to force his way into King’s Court and be taken seriously.

But King’s Court is rife with its own family dramas, power struggles, ambitions, jealousy, violence and betrayal. King MacGil must choose an heir from amongst his children, and the ancient Dynasty Sword, the source of all their power, still sits untouched, waiting for the chosen one to arrive. Thorgrin arrives as an outsider and battles to be accepted, and to join the King’s Legion.

Thorgrin comes to learn he has mysterious powers he does not understand, that he has a special gift, and a special destiny. Against all odds he falls in love with the king’s daughter, and as their forbidden relationship blossoms, he discovers he has powerful rivals. As he struggles to make sense of his powers, the king’s sorcerer takes him under his wing and tells him of a mother he never knew, in a land far away, beyond the Canyon, beyond even the land of the Dragons.

Before Thorgrin can venture out and become the warrior he yearns to be, he must complete his training. But this may be cut short, as he finds himself propelled into the center of royal plots and counterplots, ones that may threaten his love and bring him down—and the entire kingdom with him.

With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A QUEST OF HEROES is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders, including fans of George RR Martin, Sarah J. Maas, Rick Riordan, and readers of the legends of King Arthur and Merlin. It is 82,000 words.

“Grabbed my attention from the beginning and did not let go….This story is an amazing adventure that is fast paced and action packed from the very beginning.”
--Paranormal Romance Guild {regarding Turned}

“A great plot, and this especially was the kind of book you will have trouble putting down at night. The ending was a cliffhanger that was so spectacular that you will immediately want to buy the next book, just to see what happens.”
--The Dallas Examiner {regarding Loved}

“A spirited fantasy that weaves elements of mystery and intrigue into its story line. A Quest of Heroes is all about the making of courage and about realizing a life purpose that leads to growth, maturity, and excellence….For those seeking meaty fantasy adventures, the protagonists, devices, and action provide a vigorous set of encounters that focus well on Thor's evolution from a dreamy child to a young adult facing impossible odds for survival….Only the beginning of what promises to be an epic young adult series.”

    Haven’t read since high school and started to try and read more going into new year. Saw this free book and gave it a try and I finished within 2 days. Could not put it down and excited to read the rest of the series.

  • Editing problems

    The book was entertaining, however there was several problems with time scale that detracted from the story. It wasn’t clear at times whether all of the story took place in just a couple days times or over the span of weeks. Also, it seemed that the author couldn’t decide between a feline or canine for the pet. While it was portrayed as a snow leopard cub it acted more like a puppy.

  • Pretty good but various errors throughout reading

    Like my title says the book series is quite good with an interesting story. However, there are multiple instances of the wrong character name being used or repetition of the same word over and over making some scenes feel repetitive. If you can get over this then it’s a great book but it definitely subtracts from the feel of the story at times.

  • Amazing book!

    To: all fantasy lovers The start of a journey witch ends up being so long it takes up 17 books and from ( and I speak for all who love fantasy) just that fact alone it would be a want to read but with the added in drama of running away army's love lies and heart brake with of corse a main character would is part Druid and can literally kill a beast with nothing but a fricking slingshot and superhuman strength and did I forget to mention that there is literally a flipping empiere who wants to kill them all ( hint of future) Darn why must this thing have so many cliff hangers - A True Fantasy Lover

  • Lacks Complexity and Poorly Edited

    This book and this series for that matter are not worth reading. Every turn is completely predictable. I will say I read through book three in hopes it would get more complex and it doesn’t. It gets worse, less complex, more poorly edited. This author has no imagination and obvious can’t even get a publisher to edit it. Every turn is completely predictable. I suggest finding something else to read or you will get through a book or two and be irritated like me.

  • Not reading a story with homosexuality in it. Horrible book from a horrible mind.

    This series is one of the worst I have ever read. First book is okay, but the rest are beyond disappointing. I love the idea, but the characters are unrealistic and very confusing.
