About the Book
The First Cycle is the collected edition of the first three books in the Three Crowns saga -
'A Donkey, A Stablehand & An Empire'
'Rebirth Of The Mage'
'The Spear Of Irinden'
Dive into the world of Caer Innar, a land full of magic and mayhem! From A Donkey, A Stablehand & An Empire:
Will civilisation collapse with a donkey on the throne?
Carson Barker certainly doesn't think so, and quickly appoints himself into the unenviable role of imperial translator.
However, it isn't going to be an easy ride. With assassins, blood-thirsty fishmongers and furious homemakers around every corner, each seeking to be the first to kill the new regent and seize the throne themselves, Carson finds himself squarely in the firing line by association.
Little do they know this is no ordinary donkey, and the future of the Empire, possibly even the world, rests on Carson's ability to keep this extraordinary animal alive.
Will he manage to save his ass? Find out in the witty and action-packed book one of the Three Crowns series.
From Rebirth of the Mage: Getting assassinated in his sleep certainly wasn't on the top of Eric's to do list, but apparently these things happen when you are set to inherit a crime syndicate. Fortunately, for Eric at least, a previously unknown power is keeping him alive and well, despite numerous attempts, and successes, to stab, maim and dismember him.
Armed with his suspicions, and aided by a Captain just the wrong side of drunk, Victor Claye seeks to bring Eric to the legendary last enclave of mages living in Caer Innar, hoping that they can help the boy understand his new gifts. Together, this odd crew will embark on a journey that will take them far away from the Empire.
What is Mr Claye hoping to gain from these introductions? If these mages even still exist, will they be willing to help?
From The Spear of Irinden: The risk of dying from a goldfish attack is low, but it isn't zero. The sole survivor of a hunt gone horribly wrong, Yeveka is forced to ally with Maran. While potentially a deranged mystic, he claims to have knowledge of a weapon lost to history - her first glimmer of hope for getting the revenge she so desperately desires.
After setting off on a wild journey through space and time, she is left with a few pressing questions; Has Maran eaten one too many 'special' mushrooms? Does the spear really exist? Will the magical homicidal goldfish finish what it started?
