Maldene

Maldene is a world of magic and ancient secrets, but one under the dark shadow of a powerful wizard named Miro, whom it is said even the gods fear. His true goals are the stuff of centuries-long conjecture. Into this, Sabu and Eldar lead a band of mercenaries for the alleged reason of raiding one of Miro's old, abandoned labs, yet several in this group have ulterior motives. For Sabu and Eldar, this would be what a blind, old, gold-skinned gypsy had told them about a destiny and the third of their number they would meet. Making it through the hazards of this old facility only starts them on a road that will take them across the farthest reaches of Maldene, through it all ever the dark hand of Miro in evidence. Everywhere save with a mysterious king who seems the only one willing to stand up against the forces of Miro, as Sabu and Eldar find that they and their companions have been recruited for a battle against the most evil being ever known.

Maldene: Volume Two

 

 

Some Notes and thoughts from the Author:

The first novel of the brand new "Maldene" series is out, available in two volumes (publisher's idea, not mine; I'd rather have a single volume hardback but oh well):  "Maldene Volume I" and "Maldene Volume II".  This first book is an epic in itself (over 800 pages between both volumes) and I assure you there is much more to come (the entire series is already written but I think I won't say just yet exactly how
big it is other than to say it's definitely not a mere trilogy), with about 20 characters, adventures to three
continents and one alternate world, and the beginnings of a centuries-spanning plot (I'm actually understating that last one, if you include all books in the series).

"Maldene" (published in Volume One and Volume Two, by Publish America) is epic fantasy, the start of a new series unlike anything out there (at least according to everyone else I know that's read it).  The basic plot synopsis is attached but you can also find the basics of plot and characters- as well as the Chapter One teaser- at the novel's site... http://www.maldene.com
