Kings and Sorcerers

A Short Story

2020

“If you thought that there was no reason left for living after the end of the Sorcerer’s Ring series, you were wrong. In RISE OF THE DRAGONS Morgan Rice has come up with what promises to be another brilliant series, immersing us in a fantasy of trolls and dragons, of valor, honor, courage, magic and faith in your destiny. Morgan has managed again to produce a strong set of characters that make us cheer for them on every page.… Recommended for the permanent library of all readers that love a well-written fantasy.” —Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos This original short story takes us back in time to show us how it all began. KINGS AND SORCERERS: A SHORT STORY is a 3,000 word original short story which is a must-read complement to the #1 bestselling KINGS AND SORCERERS series, which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS (Book #1), a free download with over 1,000 five-star reviews. It also serves as a standalone story and also as a great introduction to the series. In KINGS AND SORCERERS, Kyra, 15, dreams of becoming a famed warrior, like her father, even though she is the only girl in a fort of boys. As she struggles to understand her special skills, her mysterious inner power, she realizes she is different than the others. But a secret is being kept from her about her birth and the prophecy surrounding her, leaving her to wonder who she really is. Just as Kyra is coming of age, the local lord comes to take her away. Her father wants to wed her off to save her. Kyra, though, refuses, and she quests on her own, into a dangerous wood, where she encounters a wounded dragon—and ignites a series of events that will change the kingdom forever. 15 year old Alec, meanwhile, sacrifices for his brother, taking his place in the draft, and is carted off to The Flames, a wall of flames a hundred feet high that wards off the army of Trolls to the east. On the far side of the kingdom, Merk, a mercenary striving to leave behind his dark past, quests through the wood to become a Watcher of the Towers and help guard the Sword of Fire, the paranormal source of the kingdom’s power. But the Trolls want the Sword, too—and they prepare for a massive invasion that could destroy the kingdoms forever. With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, RISE OF THE DRAGONS is a sweeping, romantic saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, action, adventure, destiny, sorcery, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, of ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders. “RISE OF THE DRAGONS succeeds—right from the start…. A superior fantasy…It begins, as it should, with one protagonist's struggles and moves neatly into a wider circle of knights, dragons, magic and monsters, and destiny.… All the trappings of high fantasy are here, from soldiers and battles to confrontations with self…. A recommended winner for any who enjoy epic fantasy writing fueled by powerful, believable young adult protagonists.” —Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer

Rise of the Valiant

2015

“An action packed fantasy sure to please fans of Morgan Rice’s previous novels, along with fans of works such as The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini…. Fans of Young Adult Fiction will devour this latest work by Rice and beg for more.” —The Wanderer, A Literary Journal (regarding Rise of the Dragons) The #1 Bestselling series! RISE OF THE VALIANT is book #2 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! In the wake of the dragon’s attack, Kyra is sent on an urgent quest: to cross Escalon and seek out her uncle in the mysterious Tower of Ur. The time has come for her to learn about who she is, who her mother is, and to train and develop her special powers. It will be a quest fraught with peril for a girl alone, Escalon filled with dangers from savage beasts and men alike—one that will require all of her strength to survive. Her father, Duncan, must lead his men south, to the great water city of Esephus, to attempt to free his fellow countrymen from the iron grip of Pandesia. If he succeeds, he will have to journey to the treacherous Lake of Ire and then onto the icy peaks of Kos, where there live the toughest warriors of Escalon, men he will need to recruit if he has any chance of taking the capital. Alec escapes with Marco from The Flames to find himself on the run through the Wood of Thorns, chased by exotic beasts. It is a harrowing journey through the night as he quests for his hometown, hoping to be reunited with his family. When he arrives, he is shocked by what he discovers. Merk, despite his better judgment, turns back to help the girl, and finds himself, for the first time in his life, entangled in a stranger’s affairs. He will not forego his pilgrimage to the Tower of Ur, though, and he finds himself anguished as he realizes the tower is not what he expects. Vesuvius spurs his giant as he leads the Trolls on their mission underground, attempting to bypass The Flames, while the dragon, Theos, has his own special mission on Escalon. With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, RISE OF THE VALIANT is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders.

The Weight of Honor

2015

« Une fantasy pleine d'action qui saura plaire aux amateurs des romans précédents de Morgan Rice et aux fans de livres tels que le cycle L'Héritage par Christopher Paolini .... Les fans de fiction pour jeunes adultes dévoreront ce dernier ouvrage de Rice et en demanderont plus. » —The Wanderer, A Literary Journal (pour Le Réveil des Dragons) La série n 1 de best-sellers ! LE POIDS DE L’HONNEUR est le tome n 3 de ROIS ET SORCIERS, la série de fantasy épique à succès de Morgan Rice (qui commence par LE RÉVEIL DES DRAGONS, disponible en téléchargement gratuit) ! Dans LE POIDS DE L’HONNEUR, Kyra finit par rencontrer son oncle mystérieux et elle se rend compte avec surprise qu’il n’est pas l’homme auquel elle s’attendait. Elle entame une période d’entraînement qui mettra à l’épreuve son endurance et sa frustration, car elle rencontrera vite les limites de son pouvoir. Incapable de convoquer son dragon, incapable de partir à la conquête de son être profond et motivée par le besoin impérieux d’aider son père à faire la guerre, Kyra ne sait pas si elle deviendra un jour la guerrière qu’elle pensait être et quand, au coeur de la forêt, elle rencontre un garçon mystérieux et plus puissant qu’elle, elle se demande ce que son avenir lui réserve vraiment. Duncan doit descendre des pics de Kos avec sa nouvelle armée et, en grande infériorité numérique, lancer une invasion risquée de la capitale. S’il gagne, il sait que derrière ses anciennes murailles l’attendront le vieux roi et sa cour de nobles et d’aristocrates, qu’ils ont tous leurs intérêts propres et qu’ils mettront le même empressement à le trahir qu’à l’accueillir. En fait, il se pourrait qu’il soit plus difficile d’unifier Escalon que de le libérer. A Ur, Alec doit faire appel à ses compétences exceptionnelles de forgeron pour aider la résistance à avoir une chance de se défendre contre l’invasion pandésienne qui s’annonce. Il est frappé d’admiration quand il fait la rencontre de Dierdre, la fille la plus forte qu’il ait jamais rencontrée. Cette fois, elle a une chance de se révolter contre Pandésia et, alors qu’elle les affronte, elle se demande si son père et ses hommes accepteront de la reprendre cette fois-ci. Merk finit par entrer dans la tour de Ur et il est stupéfait par ce qu’il découvre. Initié à ses codes et ses règles étranges, il rencontre ses compagnons les Gardiens, les guerriers les plus coriaces qu’il ait jamais rencontrés, et il se rend compte qu’il sera difficile de gagner leur respect. Une invasion se profile à l’horizon et ils doivent tous préparer la tour; cependant, il se pourrait que même tous ses passages secrets ne puissent protéger les Gardiens contre la trahison qui rôde à l’intérieur. Vesuvius fait traverser un Escalon vulnérable à sa nation Troll et dévaste le pays pendant que Theos, furieux à cause de ce qui arrive à son fils, mène son propre saccage et ne s’arrêtera que quand tout Escalon sera réduit en cendres.
