Morgan Rice: Epic Fantasy Bundle

This bundle includes the first book in two of Morgan Rice’s #1 Bestselling series—THE SORCERER’S RING and OF CROWNS AND GLORY—all here in one convenient place! This bundle offers a great introduction to Morgan Rice’s epic fantasy series with over 200,000 words of reading!

In the #1 Bestseller A QUEST OF HEROES, Thorgrin, a special 14 year old boy, the least loved of his father, learns he has powers he does not understand. An outsider, he must fight for acceptance as he strives to become a warrior, to join the King’s Legion, and as he falls in love with the king’s 16 year old daughter. Most of all, he must learn who he really is, and why his destiny is so important.

“THE SORCERER’S RING has all the ingredients for an instant success: plots, counterplots, mystery, valiant knights, and blossoming relationships replete with broken hearts, deception and betrayal. It will keep you entertained for hours, and will satisfy all ages. Recommended for the permanent library of all fantasy readers.” --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos

In SLAVE, WARRIOR, QUEEN (OF CROWNS AND GLORY--BOOK 1), 17 year old Ceres, a beautiful, poor girl in the Empire city of Delos, lives the harsh and unforgiving life of a commoner. By day she delivers her father’s forged weapons to the palace training grounds, and by night she secretly trains with them, yearning to be a warrior in a land where girls are forbidden to fight. With her pending sale to slavehood, she is desperate.18 year old Prince Thanos despises everything his royal family stands for. He abhors their harsh treatment of the masses, especially the brutal competition—The Killings—that lies at the heart of the city. He yearns to break free from the restraints of his upbringing, yet he, a fine warrior, sees no way out.

FYI, the Amazon-branded Visa card doesn't give additional rewards points at Audible; Audible seems to be treated as a separate entity from Amazon.

Thanks for the additional info. It's a nice benefit for those with the card. My 5% Prime card reverted to a 0% Amazon card when I dumped Prime.

When you click on the banner and sign in, you are taken to a page where you can set the Amazon Prime Store Card as the default.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing it.

Did your cat really die on you? If so, why the "z's, z's . . . ."?

Yeah, y'know, he went on the long sleep. I probably ought to change that signature. He's been gone a few years now.

Weeeelllll.... It might be because my Amazon Prime card is already my selected credit card for Audible.

Sorry to hear that.

I lost mine in October, a year ago. I loved that cat. He was a good one. He was my baby; I was his daddy.

Unfortunately, the ones who caused him to have to be put down were never brought to justice, and I already know that they never will be.

Is the Amazon branded Visa card different from other Visa cards? All Visa cards that I know of can be used anywhere. Though Amazon may give you a bonus when you first get the card.

The Amazon-branded Visa gives you 3 percent in rewards for Amazon purchases; if you're a Prime member, it gives you 5 percent. Otherwise it's a standard Visa rewards card that can be used anywhere.

Being computerly-challenged, it's hopeless for me to try to quote what I want to refer to. . . .

It's regarding the Sync audiobook Blink, by Kwame Alexander.

I checked into the book for myself, so I thought that I would pass along the little bit of information that I learned, and perhaps I will save others the trouble of checking.

Some information:
1. It's fiction.
2. The ebook gets an excellent 4.4-star rating, from 50 reviews, at Amazon. The rating probably would be a tenth or two better if not for four 1-star ratings. Three out of four of the reviews that go with those 1's concerned the fact that the book was in verse, and those people didn't like that!
