The tales of Amornia – serie

In her bed at home in Bromma, Agnes wakes up with a jolt. Something has startled her. Cautiously, she sneaks up to the window and peeks out from behind the curtain. The wind is blowing in the tree canopy outside the house and the darkness is compact. Suddenly something yellow gleams out from behind a little lilac bush. What is that? Agnes closes her eyes, just for a moment. When she opens them again, the light is gone.

In Nazaria, the dark despot is pacing about his black palace. Naz-Halham is furious. Once again, his emissary has failed. But now he is to receive his punishment. Tomorrow he will personally cut the man s heart out of his chest and sacrifice it in the sanctuary brazier. A demonic smile crosses the increasingly insane king s stiff lips.

The Secret of the Stone Bridge is the first part of the Legend of Amornia series. It is an exciting, imaginative story about kings, magicians, gods and an ordinary girl who is destined to make a journey like no other. Follow Agnes and her grandmother on an adventure that brings them face to face with prophecy, evil and dire challenges.

Agnes sat with tears rolling down her cheeks, cradling her grandmother s bloody head in her lap. She had managed to stem the flow of blood, but she could barely feel Astrid s pulse. Beside her lay Knox, brother of the Emir of Thulisia s late wife. The old mariner was unconscious, but breathing stead-ily.

A dim red light pulsed in the otherwise darkened chamber, fluctuating in brightness as if the thing emitting it was alive. And as it flashed, two formless beings could be glimpsed by the door. They appeared amorphous and seemed to be covered in week-old ash.

The Crimson Sceptre is the second volume in the Tales of Amornia series. It is an exciting, imaginative story about kings, magicians, gods and an ordinary girl who is destined to make a journey like no other.  The first volume The Secret of the Stone Bridge was well-received by readers and critics alike.
