The Broken King (The Adventures of Will the Wayfarer) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Helping the helpless can be a pain in the backside, especially if magic's involved.

Will just wants a peaceful life, but when he takes pity on a crippled vagrant who thinks he's the wronged King of Aeoland, things become very complicated very quickly. Choked by a black-clad sorcerer, attacked by an enchanted amulet, and almost getting his head chopped off by outlaws, Will is thrown into making a choice that might just determine the fate of the kingdom. Can he stay in once piece long enough to discover the truth behind the crazed myth-making of The Broken King? And what might he discover about himself in the process?

The Broken King is a fast-moving fantasy adventure, introducing the cynical but good-hearted Will the Wayfarer, self-styled 'finest archer in the kingdom'. If you love the wit and humour of Joe Abercrombie or Scott Lynch, then you might just fall for Will...

Autor

I'm Con Coleman and I write fantasy fiction.

I used to be an historian, specialising in Scottish and European History but gave that up to get a normal job and to write fiction in my spare time. That said, I never really left history behind as my interest in the past runs through my writing, shaping the world I've built, influencing the characters and the ideas.

Still, my stories are not weighed down by tons of detail. I want them to be adventures, not history lessons dressed up as fantasy.

I also love the outdoors, the wilder the better. I live in Glasgow, Scotland, so it's not too far to the mountains, lochs and woods that make my home so beautiful. I'm never happier than when I'm walking through some Highland glen or an Orcadian beach, taking in the splendour and thinking of story ideas. This is one of the reasons why Will, the narrator of my stories, is a wanderer. Landscape is a big influence on what I write and I hope that comes across, that you feel the rain on your face, or the cold wind biting, hear the wind rushing through the trees or see the dipping sun light up the sky.

And, like you, I love books. I read a lot, particularly well-crafted fiction, engaging history, and books about nature and travel. I like books that take you to another world or that shed a new light on familiar places.
