Kingdoms of Broken Stone
Author: Nathan Van Hoff
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781978348035
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
An impatient wizard and her new apprentice must keep their country from being torn apart while they search for the rightful king. After the treacherous murder of the last High King, the Isle of Esten was left divided and vulnerable. Local rulers contend for power and outside influences bring the island ever closer to destruction. When one of the few remaining wizards in Esten discovers a neglected farm boy whose dreams seem to foretell the future, she thinks he may hold the key to finding the rightful king and restoring unity to their fractured homeland. Together they must attempt to hold dark forces at bay long enough for the king to appear. Kingdoms of Broken Stone: Boy of Dreams is a fantasy story set primarily on the Isle of Esten. In terms of placement within the world, Esten is loosely based on the British Isles. However, its people groups, history, and interior geography are notably different. The greater world around it is influenced by common themes throughout fantasy stories, popular legends and myths, as well as non-fiction ancient and medieval history. The major characters differ in age and racial backgrounds while their shared experience develops over the course of time. Though the conflict and enemies they face are the product of imagination, the emotions and decisions are ones that everyone wrestles with in various ways. Good and Evil are pitted against one another to form a classical foundation to a fresh story with new faces. Boy of Dreams is the first book in the Kingdoms of Broken Stone series.
