Quest for a King

A boy on a quest.

A dragon determined to stop him.

An immersive fantasy adventure that's safe for the whole family to enjoy.

Arik might be a twelve-year-old prince of the Lower Moors, but he faces the same struggles other boys his age are dealing with. Hunting, it turns out, is harder than he thought it would be, and learning to control his temper and mastering swordplay require daily practice. Still, despite his troubles, Arik loves his family and his friends, which means his world is turned upside down when a dragon attacks his village.

Even worse is when his father - renowned warrior of the Lower Moors - fails to defeat the beast and is terribly wounded instead.

While suffering the blow of his father's injury, the last thing Arik expects is for a wizard to appear and send him on a quest. But that's just what the wizard does.

Armed with the ancient sword of the High King, a dragon's eye, and a magic mirror with an attitude, Arik must set forth on a quest that will lead him through the Redwood Mountains. Along the way, he makes friends and enemies, meets monsters, faces fae, and accidentally gets himself a (very) unwilling brownie companion.

And though he doubts himself when he begins, Arik finds that he not only should but must change into the man his family and friends need him to be. Because if he can't, the ancient sword will never be delivered to the High King, and the entire realm will fall under the shadow of the dragon.

Get this book today to experience an epic quest that your whole family can enjoy! This safe-for-everyone middle-grade epic dragon fantasy will immerse your young (and old) readers in the deep world of fantasy on a journey full of action, humor, lore, and magic, and what being a hero truly means.
