"Quest" Synopsis

I have posted excerpts from my books for a while now but recently stopped and considered my readers.  Many of them don’t know what the books are about.  They see a small teaser but it doesn’t tell them the concept behind the story.  For that reason, I have decided to do these next 3 blogs as short descriptions of the books.  This will help you follow the blogs easier and lead to more sales so you can check out the entire story.  The first book in the series is “Quest for the Red Sapphire.”  Young Linvin Grithinshield is sent from his home in Sartan to the far off nation of Valia to train under Sedemihcra, the Master Trainer of Warfare.  Linvin gains valuable experience in the Valian Army and achieves the rank of Commanding General by his mid-twenties.  After a brilliant military victory, he learns that his father is missing and his mother has summoned him home to take over the family merchant empire.  After returning, he finds home is not what he remembered it was.  His family has become exceedingly affluent and he finds people are more interested in him for his money than his personality.  To gain space he moves out on his own.  Then word is brought by his uncle that his mother has been assassinated and they are coming for him next!  He is given a staff and a gold key.  His Uncle Anvar tells him he must take up a quest to find the mystical Red Sapphire.  With little choice, Linvin takes up the quest.  Not only must he find the gem, but along the way he must grow into a person worthy of being its master.  That will be tested as they take on Linvin’s cousins, Bander and Rander who despise Linvin.  The trio fights at every turn and often need Anvar to separate them.  Their trek becomes ever more perilous the further they go as they mix with giant wolves, barbaric men, goblins, bandits and much more.  It is not only Linvin being tested.  Bander and Rander must prove they can handle themselves and be more than just a liability.  If you like action, there is plenty to go around in this book.  The characters are also developed in depth so that you can actually feel what they are feeling ay a given time.  This is an exciting, well received book that will have you turning pages to see what happened next.  It’s a fun read and is available at Amazon.com at http://amzn.to/1npYd0S
