Prophecy of the Kings: The Trilogy

By David Burrows

Legacy of the Eldric, Dragon Rider and Shadow of the Demon in one epic volume.

A time is coming when demons will once again cross the great Divide in search of fresh souls, and the people of the Land do not yet realise how close the darkness has crept. Their ancient saviours, the Eldric, have vanished without trace, taking with them their sorcery-the only true defence against the demon hordes. In their absence, they leave behind the shattered remains of once-proud cities, broken stones, and fading memories that few now understand. The Prophecy endures, but most dismiss it as a children's tale of distant wars and impossible heroes. Drachar's followers know better. In secret, they pass through courts, temples, and battlefields, bending events towards the hour when their master will rise again and lead his demon horde across the world.

A desperate quest to discover what became of the Eldric uncovers a hidden power buried deep within a mountain-a power that may offer the first flicker of hope in generations. But hope has a price. As old alliances are tested and new ones forged in fear, a clash of forbidden powers tears at the fabric between worlds, allowing the shade of a dead emperor to cross the Divide. The Prieste of Ryoch hunt for children tainted by an evil shaol, shaping them into terrifying warriors. Death-knights stalk the living, dragons are driven against demons, and every victory draws the Land closer to catastrophe.

In a land smothered by doubt, treachery, and fear, trust has become the most dangerous gamble of all. Old friends stand beneath enemy banners. Hidden gateways yawn towards the demon world. And as a cloak of darkness spreads across the Land, humanity must face a terrible truth: the war they thought belonged to legend has already begun.

Lord of the Rings by Tolkien was responsible for awakening David Burrows' interest in fantasy and this in turn led to the author attempting to create a story featuring bold characters and intriguing plot. This aim has certainly been achieved." - Fantasy Book Review
