Long ago, so the legends say, the Necromancer Volnor invaded the continent of Pelacia. His legions of undead soldiers ravaged the land unchecked, until the three nations united and pushed their evil foes back into the Desert of Malator. But that was centuries ago, and few people still believe the tale. Other, more worldly matters occupy their time, such as recent attacks by renegade Kobolds. But Elac, an Elf who makes his way as a merchant, is too concerned with his business affairs to become involved in international politics. Until a marauding band of Kobolds attacks Elac’s caravan and he finds himself running for his life. Befriended by an Elven warrior named Rilen, he travels to Unity, the seat of power on the Pelacian continent. There he is joined by a diverse group of companions, and he sets out on an epic quest to solve the riddle of his heritage and save the land from the growing evil that threatens to engulf it. |

"The
Piaras Legacy has everything a fan of true epic
fantasy could want--a daring hero, villains to freeze the
blood, a quest that will determine the fate of the world.
The only thing lacking is...more! Give us more!" “The
author of The Killing Frost moves
from space opera to epic fantasy in a fast-moving story that
should satisfy fans of classic quest adventures. A good choice
for most fantasy and YA collections.” “The
Piaras Legacy is a basic sword and sorcery
type fantasy, with a few extra additives. Sure, it has the
typical elves, dwarfs and wizards one would expect, but
this author tosses zombies, ghosts, vampires, and even a
little romance into the mix . . . Having spent years reading
Marting, Eddings, and Jordan, I’d like to add that
I appreciate very much the author’s ability to tell
an entire story in a single volume.” “Gamboe’s
style elevates the novel beyond the mundane. The author knows
how to engage the reader in exciting battle scenes . . . Three
of the major characters are the most cogently drawn and show
a developed dimension. Elac the elf is fun to follow as he goes
from a simple merchant to adopting and developing his skills
in swordplay, survival, and even love. Rilen the warrior and
Jayrne keep the reader engaged.”
