Orbelon's World (Book 3)
by Martin Ash
Mysteries ever more strange unfold as the epic saga of Enchantment's Reach continues with Volume 3: Orbelon's World.---------Betrayed
and now powerless in his own domain, Leth, beleaguered king of the
magic-haunted realm of Enchantment's Reach, finds himself cast through a
combination of treachery and freak circumstance from his own world.
Stranded with his two children in the seemingly endless blue void of
Orbelon's World, he encounters mysteries, dangers and unworldly
intrigues unlike any he has met before.In Enchantment's Reach
itself, the enigmatic, eons old god-entity Orbelon has revealed to
Leth's young queen, Issul, that her husband and children are trapped
within his world. Orbelon knows of no way to locate or release them.Issul has no choice but to believe - and indeed to trust him.And still the question hangs over her: who, or what, is Orbelon? And what are his real motives?Accompanied
by Orbelon, Issul finds herself bound upon a terrifying quest back to
the mysterious land of Enchantment, seeking clues and a lost, perhaps
mythical living artefact, the Soul of the Orb, that may represent the
one slim hope of saving her world from the brutal, inhuman warrior race,
the Karai, and the god-creature that appears to lead them. It is a
quest that also demands the presence of the deranged assassin, the
murderous head of the outlawed True Sept, Grey Venger, with his
knowledge of the Legendary Child. But the nature of the quest cannot be
revealed to Grey Venger himself.Equally, the quest must be kept
secret from the ruthless Head of Security of Enchantment's Reach, Lord
Fectur, known as The Spectre. The scheming Fectur has already
demonstrated beyond all doubt that he harbours mighty ambitions of his
own, and will stop at nothing to achieve them. Ahead lie
perilous unknowns for Issul, and a growing yet troubling bond with
Shenwolf, the young soldier who holds secrets of his own and is not
entirely what he seems.And in Orbelon's World Leth discovers a reality beyond anything he could have imagined...
