Inhaltsangabe

In the time before the legends of Velland stood a citadel, a massive city built into a mountain. It was called Deepforge. It stood as the center of the known world, the apex of civilization. It had existed for untold eons, so long that no scholarly dwarf was sure of when exactly it had been built. Legend said that it had stood before the world was formed by the solar cataclysm, forged in the intense heat for the dwarves themselves by some unknown God. Deepforge was a cave city built into a mountain with high ceilings and ornate construction making up the building inside. In reality, it was an active volcano that the dwarves had tamed before the time of written history. Using incredibly ingenious designs, they fashioned ways to keep the pressure of the constantly rising magma in check and harness the energy. The result was a massive forge right in the center of the city, where amazing creations of metal were fashioned by the highly skilled forge craftsmen. All throughout the city were ports to the magma, venting off the pressure in a very specific way, as regulated by the city’s engineers. These engineers utilized the energy of the natural vents to power anything from basic steam to water condensing and purification units, to elaborate engines used for nearly automatic elevators to the other levels, and even some self-propelled vehicles and electrical generation. It was a city of geniuses...Little did the citizens of Deepforge Empire know that their world was about to be invaded by a sinister force bent on destruction. What happened next would change the history of Ahl-Thoor-Hees.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ron Washburn grew up in Las Cruces, New Mexico. He studied and worked for New Mexico State University for most of his adult life, as he raised a family. He loves riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle, indulging his Amateur Radio and Photographic hobbies, and of course, writing. His works of fiction depict some of the things he has thought about during most of his life, and had written down, but only with pencil on paper. As the world changed, he began exploring the idea of writing using a computer to write. He began building a library of short stories. When his cousin Alan introduced him to the possibilities of self publishing through Amazon.com, he decided to give it a try. He began the seemingly insurmountable task of converting all his manuscripts to MS Word format, and making them ready for the marketplace on Amazon. As he did so, his imagination went wild, and he began combining the short stories into novels. This just spawned more ideas, and he began writing new novels. To this day, he continues writing and exercising his talents. His imagination seems to know no limits, and promises to create more works as the years go by.
