Kings and Sorcerers: A Short Story

"“If you thought that there was no reason left for living after the end of the Sorcerer’s Ring series, you were wrong. In RISE OF THE DRAGONS Morgan Rice has come up with what promises to be another brilliant series, immersing us in a fantasy of trolls and dragons, of valor, honor, courage, magic and faith in your destiny. Morgan has managed again to produce a strong set of characters that make us cheer for them on every page.…Recommended for the permanent library of all readers that love a well-written fantasy.” --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos This original short story takes us back in time to show us how it all began. KINGS AND SORCERERS: A SHORT STORY is a 3,000 word original short story which is a must-read complement to the #1 bestselling KINGS AND SORCERERS series, which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS (Book #1), a free download with over 1,000 five-star reviews. It also serves as a standalone story and also as a great introduction to the series. In KINGS AND SORCERERS, Kyra, 15, dreams of becoming a famed warrior, like her father, even though she is the only girl in a fort of boys. As she struggles to understand her special skills, her mysterious inner power, she realizes she is different than the others. But a secret is being kept from her about her birth and the prophecy surrounding her, leaving her to wonder who she really is. Just as Kyra is coming of age, the local lord comes to take her away. Her father wants to wed her off to save her. Kyra, though, refuses, and she quests on her own, into a dangerous wood, where she encounters a wounded dragon—and ignites a series of events that will change the kingdom forever. 15 year old Alec, meanwhile, sacrifices for his brother, taking his place in the draft, and is carted off to The Flames, a wall of flames a hundred feet high that wards off the army of Trolls to the east. On the far side of the kingdom, Merk, a mercenary striving to leave behind his dark past, quests through the wood to become a Watcher of the Towers and help guard the Sword of Fire, the paranormal source of the kingdom’s power. But the Trolls want the Sword, too—and they prepare for a massive invasion that could destroy the kingdoms forever. With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, RISE OF THE DRAGONS is a sweeping, romantic saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, action, adventure, destiny, sorcery, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, of ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders. “RISE OF THE DRAGONS succeeds—right from the start…. A superior fantasy…It begins, as it should, with one protagonist's struggles and moves neatly into a wider circle of knights, dragons, magic and monsters, and destiny.…All the trappings of high fantasy are here, from soldiers and battles to confrontations with self….A recommended winner for any who enjoy epic fantasy writing fueled by powerful, believable young adult protagonists.” --Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer"

[French] - Un Rite D’Epées (Tome 7 de L’anneau du Sorcier)

"Dans UN RITE D’ÉPÉES (tome 7 de l’Anneau de Sorcier), Thor lutte contre son héritage et contre l’identité de son père. Doit-il révéler son secret ? Que peut-il faire ? De retour dans l’Anneau avec Mycoples et l’Épée de Destinée, Thor est déterminé à se venger de l’armée de Andronicus et à libérer sa patrie – et à demander enfin la main de Gwendolyn. Cependant, il devra apprendre que certaines forces le dépassent. Gwendolyn revient d’exil et fait tout son possible pour incarner le grand souverain qu’elle est destinée à devenir, en utilisant son intelligence et sa sagesse pour unir les forces de l’Anneau et chasser Andronicus pour de bon. Quand elle retrouve Thor et ses frères, elle profite d’une brève accalmie pour célébrer leur liberté. Cependant, les choses changent très vite – trop vite – et, en l’espace d’un instant, un événement bouleverse sa vie. Sa sœur aînée, Luanda, jalouse, est bien décidée à lui arracher son pouvoir, tandis que le frère du Roi MacGil survient avec son armée pour prendre le trône. Les assassins et les espions sont partout. Gwendolyn, assiégée, devra apprendre que le rôle de reine n’est pas aussi sûr qu’elle ne le pensait. Au même même où l’amour de Reece pour Selese refleurit, son ancien amour reparaît. Reece se trouve déchirée entre les deux femmes. Cependant, la bataille occupe bientôt toutes ses pensées, comme Reece, Elden, O’Connor, Conven, Kendrick, Erec et même Godfrey se retrouvent obligés d’affronter l’adversité ensemble pour avoir une chance de survivre. Leur combat les conduit aux quatre coins de l’Anneau. La course pour chasser Andronicus et sauver l’Anneau commence. Gwen réalise alors qu’elle doit absolument trouver Argon pour le ramener. Un incroyable rebondissement enseigne à Thor une terrible leçon : ses pouvoirs ne sont pas sans limite et s’accompagne d’une faiblesse cachée. Une faiblesse qui pourrait bien causer sa perte. Thor et ses compagnons pourront-ils libérer l’Anneau? Vaincront-ils Andronicus? Gwendolyn deviendra-t-elle la reine dont le peuple a besoin? Que deviendront l’Épée de Destinée, Erec, Kendrick, Reece et Godfrey? Quel secret Alistair cache-t-elle? Entre univers sophistiqué et personnages bien construits, UN RITE D’ÉPÉES est un conte épique qui parle d’amis et d’amants, de rivaux et de prétendants, de chevaliers et de dragons, d’intrigues et de machinations politiques, de jeunes gens qui deviennent adultes, de cœurs brisés, de tromperie, d’ambition et de trahison. C’est un conte sur l’honneur et le courage, sur le destin et la sorcellerie. C’est un roman de fantasy qui nous entraîne dans un monde que nous n’oublierons jamais et qui plaira à toutes les tranches d’âge et tous les lecteurs."
