“A breathtaking new epic fantasy series. Morgan Rice does it again! This magical saga reminds me of the best of J.K. Rowling, George R.R. Martin, Rick Riordan, Christopher Paolini and J.R.R. Tolkien. I couldn’t put it down!” --Allegra Skye, Bestselling author of SAVED The epic coming of age story of one special boy, a 14 year old from a small village in 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. But King’s Court is rife with its own 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 a special gift, and a special destiny. He falls in love with the king’s daughter, and 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. 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.

Twenty years passed in silence since the Kingdom of Niron had stretched throughout the Far North from the Emerald Sea to the North Peaks. Armies of the remnant Kingdom ravage the woods mercilessly but the winds of change have begun to blow their cold breath through the Elderwood trees. Dunn - a village of the north - is one among many but when fire falls upon it in the night Godric finds himself thrown into a world far from that read about in books. Alone with the sole surviving companion, a girl by the name of Mira, Godric is left to discover the cold truth in the woods of Niron. Alone, that is, until taken captive by a mysterious band of travelers that promise to unearth the truth about the forgotten kingdom. Mystery burns as hotly as Dragonfire in this stirring novel of courage, intrigue, and secrecy where every page peels back the shadows to reveal a new conspiracy, sharpened blade, or coiling Dragon.
