Sorceress of the Sapphire & The Dark Lord (Kingdom of Durundal - Age of Heroes. Book 8) Kindle Edition

by S. E. Turner (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars 12 ratings

Introducing the third and fourth generations in this Award Winning Saga.

Book 8 in the Kingdom of Durundal series.

The Prophecy begins to unfold ...

Godric is the only son of Ajeya and Dainn. Ajeya has passed away and Dainn is the last of his generation, but his time is nearing its end. Dainn's advisor foretells that all is not well in the kingdoms, and that fire and brimstone will follow unless the fury of a giant is intercepted.

Fearing reprisals that could be even worse than the ones of old, Dainn instructs his only son to go forth and protect the future of Durundal.

Though Godric has no way of knowing what dangers lie ahead—for he has to face the Dark Lord and his Disciples of Death and restore peace to the kingdom. His journey will be a perilous one ... and yet a momentous one full of opportunities—for the Fortunes of Fate are still at work. And only they know the final intention and who the prophecy names as the chosen one—the one with the power to bring eternal peace to the Kingdom, along with the return of the dragons and the Elven World.

With a wealth of enchanting characters amid the wrath of the Dark Lord, this magnificent series reaches its dramatic conclusion.

Spectacularly riveting
Loved this, and neatly tied up all the loose ends from the other books in the series. Now for the last three. ★★★★★

Sorceress of the Sapphire & The Dark Lord
Fantastic series from start to finish. Yes, we are all connected, and the cycle of life goes round and round. ★★★★★


The next book is SEVERN, which begins twenty years before Ajeya is born, and paves the way for one of the Kingdom's most reviled antagonists.

Kingdom of Durundal

HISTORY OF THE KINGDOM

There are none who can say with certain knowledge when the Kingdom of Durundal began, yet this has not stopped the dragons, the kings, the sorcerers and other wise-ones from seeking the answer. What we do know is that dragons ruled supreme and considered by many to be the Dawn of Time.

This was a time when Elves, Dragons, Humans and Forest Folk were all at peace and lived in harmony—but in time, something changed.

Power and Ambition.

The Fates stepped in with a prophecy; a prophecy that proclaimed a 'chosen one' would rule the kingdoms with knowledge and wisdom and bring peace to the realm. However, the Dark Lord in his rage and eternal damnation vowed he would do everything in his power to stop it.

And so it was—the Dark Lord became unstoppable as his Disciples of Death searched out the chosen one. Barbaric! Uncivilised! Numerous! It is said that the earth cried blood and the barren soil left behind bore no fruit. The dragons disappeared, the Elves retreated, the Forest Folk went underground. Hearts were broken, loved-ones were lost, thrones were burned, and the kingdoms were in turmoil. Many said that darkness would prevail and man would never be understanding of acceptance and remain beyond all evil.

Yet—there was hope. The Prophecy was beginning to unfold; and with it came the Age of Heroes.

Welcome to the Kingdom of Durundal.

Kingdom of Durundal. Sorceress of the Sapphire part 3. Fantasy. Adventure. Romance.

The magnificent Kingdom of Durundal ~

Series Information:

The Kingdom of Durundal is an award-winning epic 12-part fantasy/adventure/drama that boasts a wealth of researched history, mythology and folklore.

Book 1 is 'A Hare in the Wilderness' where the child of prophecy has been chosen by the Fates. Her task is to prove she is worthy of leading her people out of the darkness and into the light. The next 10 books follow the journey of those who cross her path - directly and indirectly.

The animals used in the titles of the first five books are totems; symbols of courage and strength, guides and talismans.

Books 6, 7, 8 introduce the Sorceress of the Sapphire and how the prophecy is finally fulfilled.

Books 9, 10, 11 expose the back story behind several of the key characters. Who they really are and what changed them; for the greater good . . . or for the worse.

The Prophecy is book 12 and a prequel to the series. This book details the origins of the prophecy amid the dawn of time - when dragons, dwarves and elves ruled the kingdoms and the Dark Lord vowed to plunge the kingdoms into eternal darkness and rule with fear.

Inspiration comes from my interest in the past; in ancient civilisations and dynasties; the kings, emperors, dictators, leaders and religious ambassadors. The Kingdom of Durundal is an epic 12-part-saga, steeped in layers of blood-feuds, warring deities, and at the centre of it all - the common people fighting their own battles in order to survive.

Books in the series are:

1) A Hare in the Wilderness

2) A Wolf in the Dark

3) A Leopard in the Mist

4) A Stag in the Shadows

5) A Moth in the Flames

6, 7, 8) Sorceress of the Sapphire parts 1,2,3

9) Severn

10) Sable

11) Sagitta

12/Prequel) The Prophecy

I had a specific reason for writing 12 books, as the number 12 carries religious and universal data in addition to mythological and magical symbolism. It represents perfection, completeness and holds a significant value in astrology. Notably, all my dragons in Sagitta ( Book 11) are named after the constellations.

When people read these books, I hope they enter a world that they will never want to leave behind - a story that, when retold, reveals even more than the first time around.
