Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo) Prophecy's Ruin [Australian Epic Coming of Age High Fantasy]

[ATDrake]

Prophecy's Ruin by Sydney-resident author and standup comedian Sam Bowring (ISFDB) is the 1st novel in his Broken Well trilogy of classically epic prophetic quest against evil high fantasy, this installment the obligatory coming-of-age of two differently personalitied characters as they struggle to grow into their inevitable destinies, free courtesy of publisher Hachette Australia's Orbit imprint.

Currently free @ B&N (also Sainsbury), Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play & eBooks.com (all available to Canadians).

If you happen to like this and wish to read more of the author's writing, he also offers a freebie 1st-in-series episode of a contemporary comedy serial which the tags say has magical realism in it, Sam, Jake and Dylan Want Money: Episode One: Black Market Prawns @ Smashwords and thence price-matched at other retailers.

And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Because not only is it always a treat to receive sfnal freebies (occasionally inadvertently and regardless of their apparent provenance), we pretty much never get stuff from Orbit that isn't chapter excerpt samplers (and prior to this, we haven't even gotten those for years). And this is a nice-looking one with a good amount of editorial blurb praise as well. And they've made it available (apparently) worldwide, to boot.

So hopefully this is a precedent for more nice things to come from them.

Enjoy!

Description
For a millennium the lands of Kainordas and Fenvarrow have been at war, ever since the gods of shadow and light broke the Great Well of Souls. In the absence of victory, they have settled into an uneasy stalemate - until a prophecy foretells of a child of power who will finally break the balance. Each side races to find the child, and when they do, a battle ensues with unexpected consequences - in a terrible accident, the child's very soul is ripped in two. Each side retreats with their own part of the child, uncertain as to whether they now possess the one capable of finally ending their age-old battle.

PROPHECY'S RUIN tells the story of the two boys as they grow to be men. Bel becomes a charismatic though troubled warrior, Losara an enigmatic and thoughtful mage. Both are powerful young men, yet incomplete. As they struggle to discover their place in the world and the shape of their destinies, inevitably each has to ask the ultimate question: will he, one day, have to face himself?

There are two books under discussion, and they properly quoted which book.
