Reyanna's Prophecy

Reyanna is a woman with a secret. A human raised among the noble and wise Weya, she had passed all the tests and become a Ranger, as adept with bow and dagger as any of the elf-like people who trained alongside her. But she has a frightening power deep within, and it's growing.

When a vision strikes out of nowhere, a powerful prophecy that brings her to her knees, she is thrust headlong into a perilous journey.

The war with the vile sorcerer, Mordak, ended over twenty years ago, and the land is peaceful. The Jidaan-wielding Guardians who survived have gone their separate ways, settling into more quiet lives. The power in the short-handled, long-bladed spears has slumbered, no longer needed. When the same vision overcomes the Guardians, they know the time has come to awaken the Jidaan once more.

Gart, wielder of the Jidaan of Storms, and the most powerful of the Guardians, sets out on a dangerous quest that will either reunite him with his love or destroy the world. Three evil sorcerers have their own plans for Gart, and they will stop at nothing to get what they want. And all the while, Reyanna's power struggles for release.

Can Reyanna and the Guardians solve the riddle of the prophecy in time? Or will Gart's obsession bring about the end of all things?

It's a fast-paced, exciting epic fantasy adventure set in the world of the Fire of the Jidaan trilogy! Packed full of action and adventure, The Forge Born Duology is perfect for fans of Dennis L. McKiernan's Mithgar series, Simon R. Green's Forest Kingdom tales, or Raymond Feist's Riftwar Saga.

This epic fantasy series came about because years ago, the author read a couple of books from a series that was new to them—and they hated them! Wanting a certain kind of sword and sorcery tale with noble heroes, evil villains, and lots of action and adventure, they decided to write the story they wanted to read.

A lifelong martial artist who now owns and runs a martial arts school, the author also wanted to add a certain 'kung fu flavor' to the tale, integrating martial arts concepts into the story. Long-bladed Chinese weapons inspired the magickal spears that are central to the story. The author even had one made and loves how it moves! See it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShR8AHMUpOI

The Forge Born Duology and its predecessor, the Fire of the Jidaan Trilogy, both offer solid fantasy tales set in a familiar, exciting, and occasionally astonishing world of blades, magick, and monsters: fun stuff!

There will be more books set in the same world. Notes have already begun on a story (a couple, actually) that happens not long after the events of the Duology. The author keeps 'seeing' scenes in that world that make them ask questions, and the only way to answer those questions is to write the story!

Readers who enjoy epic fantasy with mages, monsters, swords, sorcery, and heroes battling against all odds will definitely enjoy this series and its predecessor!
