The Immortal Crown

Saga of Kings, Book One

De: Kieth Merrill

Narrado por: Tim Gerard Reynolds

From acclaimed director and producer Kieth Merrill comes an epic, high fantasy saga and the quest to fulfill a prophecy.

A thousand years ago, the Navigator crossed the great deep in ships lit with 16 stones touched by Oum'ilah, the God of Gods. Over time the stones were scattered, and a prophecy arose declaring that a "child of no man" would gather them again, obtain immortality, and reign forever as god and king of Candelarr. Two religious groups have sprung up around the prophecy, each with its own champion.

The sorceress of the cult of she-dragon has chosen Drakkor, a warrior and mercenary. After surviving a series of rigorous tests to prove his worth, he is given one of the stones and begins his quest to fulfill the prophecy. He swears to return all 16 stones to the sorceress, but the truth is he will let nothing stop him from claiming immortality for himself.

The Oracle of Oum'ilah has placed his faith in Ashar, a young postulant studying the Way of the Navigator on the Mountain of God. But when Ashar discovers he is a direct descendant of the Navigator himself, the Oracle reveals that it is his destiny to fulfill the prophecy and reunite the 16 stones for good. But he must hurry before Drakkor claims the stones and corrupts them.

Meanwhile, miles away, a slave named Ereon Qhuin dreams of freedom. Abandoned at birth, his only possession is a strange stone that his mentor, the blacksmith Rusthammer, promises is the key to Qhuin's destiny and freedom.

A mercenary, a postulant, and a slave - which one is truly the child of prophecy?

Great start to a new series

this book hit all the right notes. the characters were 3 dimensional and I was engaged and invested the whole way through. I can't wait for the next book.

I just can't get into this. ...

this book is OK but something about it just didn't engage me. I tried several times and at faster speeds but just didn't finish. .... I guess I just don't care about protagonist or other characters.....

Fantastic

This is a great book. I really Loved it. I Can't wait for book two.

Slow but pulls you into the story

I was extremely happy with this book and Tim Gerald Reynolds as usual but it’s been years and no update about a second book in the series I have Checked online repeatedly and nothing so hope is lost

Too much religion

Religion is always one of those difficult topics to talk about. What makes it worse is stories where people replicate the failings of religion without any consideration or acknowledgement of the intimate righteous ideals that have kept such traditions alive for thousands of years. It gets old really fast.
