The Guardian and the King: The Tales of Earden: Volume III

By J Carter Merwin

"...three leaders, two against one, four fathers and three bastard sons, five women bound to four men, three warriors and three die for them..." so warns the prophetess Rue. Dire warnings indeed, for war comes to Earden, tearing apart the countryside and the family that rules it. Aolwynd, the heroine of the Tales of Earden series, has joined, body and soul with her lover, Lord Boru, the new Lord Protector of Saels; while Jem, her husband (and her son by Lord Boru) have been captured and forced into the opposing army of the Guardians. Faolan, Lord Boru's brother is caught in the middle, trying to stop his father's unjust war while three women, two living and one dead cast their spells over him. Tanner and his comrade in arms, the wild woman, Kora, continue their love affair, while prisoners held captive must be rescued, including Tanner's own wife, Cherry. Passionate lovers, vengeful spirits, treacherous villains and a drunken slut of a princess are amongst the characters you will fall in love with when you re-enter the world of Earden. Newly illustrated version by the author with 20 detailed pen and ink drawings.
