Free (Kindle) The Glass Warrior by Robert E. Vardeman [Epic Lost Heir Quest Fantasy]
The Glass Warrior by Robert E. Vardeman (ISFDB, Wikipedia, SFE), a 1972 Hugo Award finalist for Best Fan Writer, in addition to being an author in his own right, is the 1st novel in his The Demon Crown trilogy of epic adventure fantasy involving the usual sort of disputed kingdom and lost heirs and restorative magical artifact, oh my!, this installment starting the obligatory quest to reunite them all under the aegis of the titular fearsome warrior woman who possesses the series crown and must now go in search of said heirs, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint..
This was originally published in 1989 by Tor. Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else worldwide that Amazon sells, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive or else program) Description Lord Dews Gaemock is betrayed and besieged! The divided kingdom of Porotane in which he lives has been ravaged by a bloody civil war for the last twenty years. Two factions have been fighting for control of the region and the conflict threatens to destroy any and all within the realm get in the way. Neither are saints… To win the war, one side must possess the power Demon Crown, which had been forged by the dark beings as a symbol of their surrender to the mortal inhabitants of Porotane. Wrought by demons the plain gold circlet is wondrously magical, and in the wrong hands it is pure evil. To end the war the Glass Warrior must find the twin heirs of the dead king of Porotane – Lokenna and Lorens – and restore them to the throne. The twins have been missing for twenty years, now the Demon Crown is missing and only the Glass Warrior can bring them together. The Glass Warrior - in whose possession the Demon Crown is, and whose task it is to reunite the lost, noble twins and reinstate them with what is rightfully theirs - dispatches all those who came after her and the Crown. Her skill and knowledge with the sword are outmatched by none… Thankfully she doesn’t have to undertake this journey alone. She has the help of two seemingly simple thieves of stout hearts with whom she takes on the many perils of the quest at hand… |
