Inhaltsangabe

Over a thousand years ago the Godswars ravaged the land of Dhea Loral, shattering continents, laying waste to cities, and driving species to extinction. The people of the land are once again starting to prosper and flourish, while the gods stay aloft and watch from afar the recovery. Yet, not all the old quarrels have been forgotten. For some gods, the time is right to once again meddle in the affairs of mortals. Though the gods have bound themselves by a Covenant that bars their direct entry into Dhea Loral, they are able to send mortal emissaries to carry out their schemes.

A night of violence erupts in a small village on the fringes of civilization. A woman is kidnapped, though only to cover up the real crime. Trestan, the son of a blacksmith, finds his hero dead and unwillingly accepts the magical elvish blade that was bequeathed to him. He sets out with his lifelong friend to see justice done for the blood that was spilled that night. They are joined by an uncommon group of adventurers to share in their quest, whom often get involved in their own squabbles. The further the road leads from home, the more their enemies seem to multiply. Even as they hope to attempt a desperate rescue, they must discover the true crime that was set in motion by ambitious gods.

Even honorable Trestan will find himself caught up in the plots of immortals. The youth must find the faith to save his friends, and yet even by doing so he may have to submit to another’s will. Not only has he inherited a sword…he has inherited a path that will take him from the only home he has ever known.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Douglas was born on Nov. 28, 1971. He got the chance to live in many different places while he was growing up, courtesy of the assignments the US Army offered to his father. Too quiet and too shy for too long, there were always dreams of other worlds and places...and the desire to write about them. He got into fantasy role-playing games in his mid-teens. To this day he has friends whom he meets in tabletop role-playing games as well as online adventures. Many of his characters evolved in games, and each developed their own personality. Inheritance of a Sword and a Path is the second book he wrote, though the first he published. He finished the rest of the Earthrin Stones series and has moved on to other novels set in Dhea Loral...some of which reference the events in this book! The Widow Brigade started its reception earning ten straight 5-star reviews, including a recent widow who said it helped with her healing process. He has been making appearances at local conventions and signing books for fans. Though Douglas expanded his entertaining to include game streams and recordings on YouTube and Twitch, his passion remains centered on his writing. Douglas lives with his wife and two boys in Minnesota. He works in healthcare, serving people's needs at both hospitals and clinics depending on his rotation. When most people see him, he is wearing scrubs.
