by Richard Stephens


  Quickly, events have them wondering whether the dangers lurking within the city’s shadows, alleyways, and seedy taverns outweigh the perils of braving the creatures stalking them upon the lofty heights.

  A chance encounter with a member of the royal family sparks a confrontation, setting a series of events into motion that leave the children without a place to flee. Unless…

  Strange circumstances spin their dwindling options out of control, forcing then onto the nefarious slopes of Mt. Gloom in a desperate effort to escape the unpleasant reality looming over them, only to discover their worst nightmare awaits them with open arms.

  The Royal Tournament

  The Royal Tournament has at long last come to the sleepy village of Millsford. For Javen Milford, a local farm boy, the news couldn’t be better. Finally, Javen can perform his chores on the homestead and partake in the biggest military games in the kingdom, hoping beyond hope that just maybe, he might catch the eye of the king.

  Javen’s expertise in jousting holds him in good stead running the tilts in the tournament's flagship event. The local supporters believe Javen is more than ready to step up to the challenge and defeat the tournament’s reigning ‘Emperor of the Field,' Prince Malcolm.

  Unfortunately for naive Javen, he befriends a mystical foreign entrant and quickly learns how ruthless men can be. It doesn't take long for him to realize that the biggest challenge facing him is not whether to duck or parry, but whether to confront his newest revelations and take the chance that will have him fighting for his very life.

  Now available on Amazon for e-book and paperback, and at Lulu.com for hardcover.

  The Soul Forge Saga: an epic fantasy series about the story of a forgotten hero.

  Soul Forge (Book 1)

  Scorned by an ungrateful kingdom, unfairly blaming him for the demise of their beloved Queen, Silurian Mintaka decides he can't fight for his kingdom anymore. To re-enter the hostile fray of his peers would probably end up with him killing them all.

  An old man reaches through his darkness, convincing him the people's need outweighs his loathing of them. Befriending a few eccentric characters along the way, Silurian Mintaka faces a whirlwind of drastic choices, that once made, may lead to the deaths of those he is entrusted to protect.

  Embarking upon the greatest journey of their lives, they travel the uncharted waters of the Niad Ocean. Not across, but beneath, on a fool's errand to recover the lost enchantment of his fabled blade.

  Wizard of the North (Book 2)

  The beleaguered quest returns home to find all is not what it used to be. The land is in ruin. Overrun by Helleden’s minion horde and an invading army from the north, the Royal House is in shambles, and the governing council of Zephyr has ulterior motives of their own.

  Release date: September 18, 2018
