PRICE REDUCTION For a limited time, the price on all three books in ‘The Forest of Allund’ series has been reduced to $0.99 All three books are set in a world similar to ancient Greece. All three books follow the adventure of Alexio Sopholus as he takes up the position of caretaker to the Forest of Allund with its many secrets and mysteries. Along the way, Alexio will pick up quite a collection of friends and an impressive list of enemies as he tried to protect those around him from threats from barbarians, gods, and his own government.
In this first book, Alexio Sopholus returns home after ten years away at the Academy. When he returns, he soon finds his lands under attack by barbarians bent on domination of the kingdom. With the help of his large animal friends and others, he manages to initially fight off the invaders, but draws the suspicions and fears of his own leaders. Faced with death, destruction, and betrayal all around him, Alexio is forced to conclude that all the morality, philosophy, ethics, and behavior taught to him in school are all but useless when someone has you at the point of a sword. Then you must either fight, run, or die. Alexio wages war. It will be a war without pity, mercy, and against the laws of both gods and men. It will result in Alexio finding himself an outcast inhis own land.
In the second book, Alexio and his wife still find themselves in danger from the barbarians and his own leaders. After an assassination attempt, a bold move by the barbarians put the entire kingdom in danger. Alexio and a small party of friends must travel to a foreign kingdom to ask aid from an unreliable source. Discovering an even more insidious plot against them, Alexio and a small group of mages must flee for their lives. When they return, they find their kingdom in shambles, the Brotherhood of Mages in tatters, and an imminent threat from the barbarians to sweep all of them aside. Alexio must find a way to save his kingdom, the Brotherhood of Mages, his family, and his friends before they are all consumed in the increasing maelstrom.
Two tales conclude this series. In the first, Alexio Sopholus comes up with a dangerous and desperate plan to finally end the Zilar war. He, his wife, and several loyal companions make a dangerous journey to a place where he can challenge the leader Zilar directly. After several confrontations, Alexio and his friends are faced with the full might of the Zilar. Their only hope to is make a desperate last attack against overwhelming odds against the Zilar himself and his minions. At the same time a great tragedy befalls the three kingdoms that will devastate life for years, causing untold death and destruction, and the deaths of many friends.
In the second tale, the kingdoms are again faced with a more lethal threat than even the Zilar. A renegade god and his followers invade the world causing panic and destruction. This god seeks nothing less that to displace the Olympian Gods of this world. The kingdoms, the mages, the armies, and the gods must band together to defeat this interloper or face extinction. Many will die in the conflagration. The final battle will tax the strength of both gods and men and force Alexio into making the ultimate sacrifice.
