[Based on the universe from "The Gifts We Share"] "You're making everything more complicated." Tenebris is a kingdom with no allies and no known enemies. Due to their ability to completely sustain themselves, they've never had a need for allies. The king of said kingdom, Daniel Howell, has never had a need for either. He may be lonely at times, but he's never needed anyone before, so why would he need someone now? Nestled among the mountainous regions of the north lies Divum, a kingdom known for its superstition and love of magic. Its king, Phillip Lester, rules with a gentle hand. After a particularly difficult growing season, the kingdom faces the threat of food shortage and starvation. Without a drastic action, Divum will perish. Tenebris becomes the main target, King Daniel the subject of suspicion. Desperation settles in, and before he knows it Phil is heading out to Tenebris. "You're making things complicated because you're taking everything I thought I knew and turning it upside-down."

“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.
