The last thing that Larken wanted was to be Talented. He wanted no part in his kingdom’s armed forces. But when a fabled enemy was revealed to be both still alive and his father, Larken’s Talents were needed to save both the Three Kingdoms and himself from the evil of the Dread King.

 

As Larken moves from a humble village smithy to the highest tiers of leadership, Larken must learn to fight both outward enemies and the growing, inner seduction of his father. At each stage in his development, new challenges and temptations assail him. Are Larken’s will and his Talent strong enough to fend off the increasing power of the Dread King, or will the combination of armed forces and dark Talent bring an end to the Three Kingdoms?

 

Comparable to the great fantasy sagas, The Dread King begins an epic journey of a maimed orphan through the greatest crises facing his world. The Larken Chronicles will be your next favorite fantasy epic series!
