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!"
~ Robert Vardeman
“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.”
~ Library Journal
“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.”
~ Michael, Publishers Weekly Blog
“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.”
~ Garvan Giltinan, The Harrow
