Free (Kindle) The Powershaper Omnibus by Robert Don Hughes [High Fantasy w/Dragons]

[ATDrake]

The Powershaper Omnibus: Books 1-3 by author Robert Don Hughes (ISFDB, Wikipedia) is an omnibus edition comprising the complete story of his Pelmen the Powershaper trilogy of traditionally epic high fantasy novels with strong draconic elements, starring the titular Powershaper who manages to defeat a legendary two-headed dragon, only to find himself embroiled in intrigue and war which may defeat him yet, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Venture imprint.

This contains The Prophet of Lamath, The Wizard in Waiting, and The Power and the Prophet, all originally published by Ballantine's Del Rey imprint in 1979, 1982, and 1985, respectively.

We've previously received the 2nd novel in this trilogy, as well as the 2nd novel in a follow-up duology The Faithful Traitor, free in the past, but this is the first time we're seeing any more of the story, which is really very generous of Endeavour to give away. If you happen to be interested in completing the series, they often do generous 99 cent sales on their catalogue.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much every where else that Amazon sells worldwide, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive or else imprint)

Description
For the first time ever, The Powershaper Omnibus collects a trilogy of beloved epic fantasy novels from bestselling author Robert Don Hughes.

Including:

The Prophet of Lamath

For centuries, a two-headed dragon has laid dormant at Dragonsgate. Its two heads, Vicia and Heinox, fought perennially for control of its gargantuan body.

But now, it has taken to the air.

Vicia-Heinox has burned villages at random all across the Three Lands, venting rage and confusion.

It was all the fault of Pelmen the player, the powershaper – now the Prophet of the Power.

But Pelmen is helpless, locked in the King’s dungeon, waiting to be executed on the drawing blocks. Should he escape, the prophecy of the Priestess has foretold an even more terrifying fate at the mouths of the vicious dragon…

The Wizard in Waiting

A new power is stirring…

The Imperial House of Chaomonous was awake again. For a thousand years, while the two-headed dragon barred magic from the Golden Kingdom, the castle had slept. But now the dragon is dead, and the castle has awoken…

The throne has been usurped by Queen Ligne, while the rightful heir, Princess Bronwynn, has been locked in the dungeons. And now — to make matters worse — brutal slaver Admon Faye has invaded its lower depths.

The realm of Lamath is in great tumult. But where is the powershaper, the wizard of ancient magic who could understand its warnings?

The Power and the Prophet

The beast is beginning its descent…

Pelmen the Powershaper is over his head in trouble.

Trouble is nothing new to him, but this time it may prove too much.

Ngandib-Mar, seat of the Power Pelmen obeyed, is on the brink of a bitter internal war, and Chaomonous again threatens to invade.

It seems that some dark Nemesis is dogging Pelmen’s footsteps, and there is nothing he can do about it… Except to stand and fight.

A friend of mine knew that I like fantasy and sent me a notice that this was free at Amazon last night. And I found out that the reason she knew was that the author is her uncle! How very cool - this is probably the closest I will ever get to knowing a published author I am excited to start this trilogy!
