| Summary |
Number 1 on the bestseller list, over 500 reviews with five stars on Amazon! Morgan Rice, top of the bestseller list, presents the first of the dazzling fantasy novel. HERO EXPEDITION (Book 1 of the Sorcerer's Circle series) presents the adventurous story of the maturation of an exceptional boy, fourteen years old, from a small town in the periphery of the Kingdom of the Circle. Thorgrin, being the youngest of four siblings, least liked by his father and hated by his brothers, feels that he is different from everyone else. His dream is to become a great warrior, join the king's men and protect the Circle from hordes of creatures living on the other side of the canyon. When he reaches the recruitment age and his father forbids him from recruiting into the royal legion, the boy opposes his father's will and sets out on a journey with the intention of reaching the royal court, getting into the legion and gaining recognition. However, the royal court is full of family tragedies, power struggles, ambitions, jealousy, violence and betrayal. King MacGil faces the choice of his successor from among his children, and the Sword of Destiny, which is the source of their power, lies intact in anticipation of the chosen one. Thorgrin arrives as a stranger and fights for acceptance and his place in the royal legion. Over time, he finds out that he wields a secret power that he does not understand; he learns that he has a unique gift and special purpose. In spite of everything, he falls in love with the daughter of the king and as their relationship flourishes, he realizes that he has powerful opponents. Trying to understand his power, he falls under the protective wings of the royal wizard, who tells him about his mother, whom he never met, and who lives in a distant land, behind a canyon, even beyond the land of dragons. Before Thorgrin sets off on a dangerous journey and becomes a warrior, which he desires so much, he must finish training. However, this may soon be interrupted as the boy finds himself at the very center of court conspiracies and intrigues that may threaten his love and bring destruction to him, as well as to the whole kingdom. HERO EXPEDITION is a sophisticated world full of sophisticated scenery, an epic tale of friendship and love, rivalry and courtship, knights and dragons, intrigues and political machinations, adolescence, broken hearts, cheats, ambitions and betrayals. It is a tale of honor and courage, fate and destiny, and sorcery. It is a fantasy story that draws the reader into a world that he will never forget, and which appeals to everyone regardless of age or gender. The English version consists of 82,000 words. |
