About this ebook

Following the annihilation of the Darkling Horde at the battle of Malphaers, the plain is at last open, and The Lord Calladhor can now journey east to seek out the key to the Riddle of Storien-Rhudd, carved upon the mighty stone tablet in the Dragon Eyrie of the same name, which, if solved, will allow his Dragon allies to regain their true form.
It would seem to be a quest lacking in any great peril, even though the secret valley wherein the key to the riddle may exist is many leagues distant.
Calladhor is aware that, in spite of the recent defeat of the Forces of The Darkness; the dreadful, Dark Entity, Baelar will not rest until "The Light" is extinguished, and all is thrust back into Chaos. Always, the Dark Lord lies ready to engulf the land. Always, he probes for some weakness.
Even with this knowledge firm in his mind; Calladhor cannot prepare himself for the dreadfulness that he will encounter, as he journeys deep into the ruined land that was once, the Kingdom of Astalan.

I'm Dave. I am writing my seventh novel at present; it will also be available as a series of novellas... working on the principle that these days, readers prefer something that is quick to read... say, during a bus journey or whatever.It is the latest in an ongoing series based on my original Fantasy Trilogy "The EternalWatchtower."The trilogy has been likened to a "Tolkien on Steroids"... but is not populated with Elves and other assorted pointy-eared characters, and traces the chronicled history of a lost race, and their struggles against an overwhelming evil which threatens to destroy their very existence.It started out as a favour for a friend: (Can you do a fairy tale for the kids)... but eventually topped 400,000 words... hence the transition into a trilogy.I was born in Gloucestershire and have lived in the county all my life. I grew up surrounded by the myths and legends of "What there might be in the woods"... "What were the things that went "Bump" in the night?"... "Was that really a screech Owl ... or something else?" This proved very useful when it came to writing the first book of the Fantasy Trilogy!The son of a Country Blacksmith; I became a Police Officer, and later joined an International Aerospace Company, employed as an Avionics Quality Inspector.I hope you enjoy the trilogy and its sequels as much as I enjoy writing them.
