[The Chronicles of Revelyn 01] • Revelyn · 2nd Chronicles - the Time of the Queen

This is an Epic story. The time of the ancient sorcery and magic in the vast

land of Revelyn has almost passed; the greatness of the Mountain Dwarves

remains only in the tunnels and caverns which, with unmatched skill they

fashioned in a past age, and the majestic Edenwhood, a race apart now dwell in

lofty AlGiron high above, almost forgotten and lost in legend. Great gifts

however still persist with men; but all that is good in valour and love in

Revelyn is confronted by an evil which rises from a dark and different realm.

Rema Bowman the mighty archer from the Highlands is caught in a web of evil

intrigue which seeks his death and that of his love Sylvion Greyfeld for

reasons deeply hidden. Zelfos the evil advisor to the royal usurper Lord

Petros manipulates all things to his own end, opening a door to vile creatures

from the evil realm which spawned him. Abducted, Sylvion is used in a terrible

and desperate plan to trap Rema and defeat the Prophecy of the last arrow.

Rema is torn by his longing to free his love Sylvion, and the knowledge that

his cousin Serenna is in danger close by, and he cannot ignore her need.

Unwittingly he finds himself caught in a web of violence fuelled by a return

of sorcery to the land. Throughout his long quest, Rema’s love for Sylvion is

challenged by many other competing needs, which reveal that he himself is not

the person he thought he was. From the simple life in the Highlands, to

Gymble’s river barge, to the raging seas in a foundering ship, to the final

battle below Mt Vaudim, where the mighty Equin seem invincible, the action

never ceases and many twists in emotion and relationship are revealed. The

final truth in the desperate quest to save Revelyn takes all by surprise, but

when revealed seems right, just as does the presence of the god-like figure of

El-Arathor who seems forever entwined in the lives of men. This is a story of

love and romance, magic and valour, great gifts and deep loss, in a vast land

were the very creatures which roam free hark back to an ancient time where the

imagination was less fettered than it has become. The power of the lost Shadow

Blade and the amazing featherless arrows of Rema Bowman, finally combine to

make a stand against the impossible power of evil, when the last arrow falls.
