Here is the fourth volume in Robert Stanek's magnificent Keeper Martin's Tales -- the series fans have called "The Star Wars" of fantasy. Filled with mystery, intrigue, adventure, and magic the books transport us to a world unlike any other. Praised as an "instant" classic, Robert Stanek's outstanding series has quickly become a favorite. The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches IV To turn back the tides of war, Queen Mother sent her most trusted warriors on a perilous journey across the Great Sea. But the elves were betrayed by one of their own. Only a handful survived the ambush that followed, only two reached the far shores. But they did not find quick allies. They found a kingdom under siege and a shattered alliance. The elves proved themselves to the men that defended Quashan'. They along with the mysterious Xith, the would-be mage Vilmos, Princess Adrina and their friends helped turn the battle in Great Kingdom's favor. For their support, the elves were granted an audience with the king. Yet great deeds could not undo the past, or change the prejudice of men. Elves and men are enemies, as it has been through time. The Alder King had his own concerns. The kingdom alliance was shattered. An ally, and a great king was dead. War between the kingdoms seemed inevitable. If there was any hope of restoring the alliance, he must rid the kingdom of the enemy's spies. But was such a thing possible without the backing of those he needed the most?
Autorenporträt
Robert Stanek also writes as William Stanek. Mr. Stanek has been writing stories for over 40 years. In 2020, he celebrated the publication of his 250th book and 20 millionth reader. That's a lot of books, a lot of years of writing, and a lot of readers, making him one of the most prolific and popular writers of all time. His books have been published and/or distributed by every major US publisher, including Prentice Hall, Simon & Schuster, Penguin Random House, Macmillan, McGraw-Hill, Hachette, HarperCollins, Pearson Education, Cengage Learning, Wiley, and HMH, and over 100 other publishers globally. Writing as Robert Stanek, he was the first breakout author of the digital publishing revolution. Writing as William Stanek, he is credited with transforming the computer writing industry with his plain language style. A style that Microsoft eventually adopted for its own. Millions of instructional courses taught by Microsoft and others around the world in dozens of languages have used his words as their foundations to teach hundreds of millions new techniques, new technologies and new vocational skills. Like the world of Ruin Mist itself and the Hundred Worlds universe in which the stories take place, the Ruin Mist books have many paths and it's up to the reader to choose his or her path. Begin in the Kingdoms or the Magic Lands, continue on with the Dragons or enter the realms of fire, return to the Kingdoms when you are ready to visit the Great Door itself. Whether you wind your way through named paths or numbered paths, children's editions or adult editions, the Hundred Worlds will not give up its secrets easily.
