The chronicles of Floreskand Book one 3658 A fast-paced fantasy adventure as an innkeeper, a city dweller full of surprises, and an immortal who longs to die, join forces in a race against time. Their quest is to save the red tellars, the giant birds who are the wings of the overlord. Along the way even the weather becomes a powerful adversary and the three are tested almost beyond endurance. Tensions and evocative language keep the reader turning the pages to the very end! The Sky above the city of Lornwater darkens as thousands of red tellars, the magnificent birds of the Overlord, wing their way towards dark Arisa. Inexplicably drawn to discover why, the innman Ulran sets out on a quest. Although he prefers to travel alone, he accedes to being accompanied by the ascetic Cobrora Fhord, who seems to harbour a secret or two. Before long, they realize that it's a race against time: they must get to Arisa within seventy days and unlock the secret of the scheduled magical rites. On their way, they stay at the ghostly inn on the shores of dreaded Lake and meet up with the mighty warrior Courdour Alomar. Alomar has his own reason for going to Arisa and thus is forged an unlikely alliance. ddc BOOK ddc 0 0 ABELJ ABELJ YA 2019-11-13 0 YA FAUL 49286 2019-11-13 27.99 2019-11-13 BOOK
