A darkness has settled across the Five Sundered Lands - an evil Sorceress has found one of the ancient artifacts, a Shard of Nelvin, and is using that power to enslave every mythical creature in the Lands.

With a band of unlikely friends, Leif must overcome impossible obstacles, solve unsolvable puzzles, and travel through treacherous new worlds in his quest to defeat the Sorceress and reunite the Lands. ========== eBook Amazon US eBook Amazon UK eBook on B&N eBook on Smashwords (use code EB66D for 20% off) Print on Amazon US Print on Amazon CA Print on Amazon UK Print on B&N Have a super day!

Looks interesting but I need to pass on it -- I don't own a Kindle and you haven't made the book available for those of us who own other devices. It would be helpful if it were available say at Smashwords in ePub.

I just saw it at smashwords.
Valmore, it would be nice if you would edit your first post to add the smashwords link. We are an international forum of many devices and smashwords allows us to purchase without geographic restriction, without additional charges, and in a choice of format for most all devices (including Kindle). Thank you. |

Thanks, dreams, for the Smashwords link.
Valmore, I've downloaded the book and added it to my TBR pile. The sample I read made the book look interesting. |
