Ramos

Long ago, before the name Mars was ever conceived, there was Ramos. Humans, dwarrows, Dark Elves, Silver Dragons and other races live in a world that has erupted into chaos.

Karl Crowley—a human Master Hunter of the coastal town of Land's End—is on a hunting trip with five troublemaking recruits. During the trip, they witness the mysterious murder of a dwarrow child. The dwarrows—a race in long exile underground—retaliate against the humans who they believe are the murderers of their kin. Karl is thus caught in a race against time, as he must reach his people to save them from an army of savage dwarrows none of them knows anything about.

Charles Cavanaugh—an eccentric traveler—arrives at Land's End with nefarious schemes in mind. Schemes to destroy the people of Land's End, and to let his minion, the demon-spear wielding Man in Black, loose upon his enemies. The only ones who can stop them are Gabriel and Sarah Lamorre, the teenage son and daughter of the king of Land's End; Dawn Tisher, a warrior-girl on a mission of honor; and Matt Brant, known thief and alleged murderer. They are all that stand against the coming darkness ready to engulf their lives.

RAMOS is a fantasy novel that will appeal to fantasy readers who enjoy strong characterization, a believable magic system, realistic action scenes, and an involving story told through multiple character perspectives.
