Publisher Description
“Eyes to the horizon,” were the last words the king spoke to his wife before the abrogator channeled dark power and murdered them both. Their deaths activated an enchantment that concealed their two sons’ identity and allowed the king’s brother, Kaellor, to escape from Aarindorn with the heirs to the Southlands.
For twelve years, Kaellor raises the boys in relative anonymity. Without explanation, the barrier concealing their identity frays. The abrogators renew their hunt, and the three begin a journey fraught with otherworldly dangers.
Back in Aarindorn, Karragin, daughter of the Regent, ascends to leadership among the Outriders, but political intrigue threatens her family at every step. She survives one assassination attempt but uncovers something even more sinister threatening the kingdom.
Between them all, Laryn struggles to find her path in the Valley of the Cloudwalkers. Her fate is entwined with the others, but first, she must survive the dangers at the summit of the Korjinth Mountains.
How will the brothers react to the trappings of destiny? What hope do two teenagers and a middle-aged map maker have against those aligned with the forces of the underworld?
When you strip everything from a man not once but twice, what are the limits to his vengeance?
Enter book 1 of the Rune Fire Cycle.

Diamond in the Rough
I have been a fantasy story fan since I was in 4th grade and was brought into the world of Tolkien's Hobbit/ LOTR and Lewis' Narnia series back in the 70s. I am an avid reader and love a well-told story especially those that speak through heroic wholesome living- good vs evil, the struggle of humanity. Lance richly and warmly builds his characters and the world they live in; not shying away from the painful reality of choices we are all faced with in life. This book series will delight your fancy in a world of rich and warm detail, contrasting the hard-right life with the cold and shuddering realities of a selfish pursuit of power at the expense of innocence. The story is fantastically enthralling and relatable at the same time. If you are a lover of good stories, there is plenty here for you- and this is well worth your time. Lance has been a gifted man as long as I have known him, his writing skill is exceptional- take the chance and explore this world with him, you will be thankful you did, and soon find yourself like me- waiting anxiously for his next book to drop.
