Synopsis

Orion and the sword of kings is the first novel in the ‘Orion’ series, it is set during a time where magic and mythical beasts once roamed the land.

The first novel focuses on the prince, Orion, who is cast out of his kingdom after an old threat returns in the form of Erenius, the god of darkness. After the god returns the darkness of the underworld is released into the world, causing dangerous beasts to return, such as Minotaur’s and even the dead.

The dark god takes hold of Midras with an iron fist; he makes sure that everyone that is a threat to him is dealt with swiftly and without mercy. But there is but one that can oppose him and stop his evil from spreading, Orion.

In the island city of Grathan, surrounded by a mighty dome made from pure energy, Orion is thrust into an adventure he isn’t prepared for.

He meets Tebek, an old friend of his father, the king, and is shown what many people believe to be a prophecy passed down through generations and read by a man who is bound to revealing it to him, it is here that Orion discovers that there is only one weapon that can defeat Erenius.

The prophecy speaks of a sword in the legendary lost city of Cambrio, a city that cannot be found except, by the one that bears the mark of light. This is Orion; he is the heir of the king and therefore the only one capable of finding the way to the city.

From there Orion meets Maralda and they venture out into the unknown with the weight of the world upon their shoulders. Along the way they encounter Minotaur’s, dwarves, trolls, Gryphon’s, centaurs, elves and even a powerful wizard who aids them on their journey through dreams that Orion has. The journey is long and they meet several important people along the way, they find beautiful places and breathtaking scenery, all to discover what people know as the ‘Ruptures’, powerful weapons created by the gods and used in the war with the Olympian gods such as Zeus and Hades.

Orion must overcome everything Erenius puts in his way, to discover his prize and achieve his destiny….
