WARLORDS OF GELANDOR

About the Book

In search of the High King. The Great Creator made the stars and planets in order to fill the vast emptiness of Space. When He had placed them, and was satisfied he had but one task left. He threw a myriad of Blue planets randomly into His created Universe and allowed them to fall and settle where they would. The Blue planets were his true master pieces. On them the inhabitants were created to echo in an infinitely smaller way, the Master architect’s persona. The intention was that on these blue spheres Humanity would evolve to be the dominant species. They were to be left to their own devices and it would be inevitable that some would be peaceable places of love and harmony, whilst others would see conflict and suffering. Such is the arrogance of human nature that the selfish aspirations of the leaders of the populations and their desire for dominance, would eventually lead to wars and perhaps of Humanities ultimate self-destruction. Gelandor is one of these Blue Planets. It is on its Earth-like surface that the tale unfolds. It is a story of a daughter’s determination to find her lost father and of the company of Eldorian knights that accompany her on the dangerous quest. The action is set against a background of the violent conflict of opposing war lords in the planet’s northern hemisphere. Throughout their search for the High King, father of the Princess Erycina, her companions encounter monstrous creatures, betrayal, spies, intrigue, mystery and war.
