Publisher's Synopsis
"Heirs of Jior" is the much-anticipated book three in the epic fantasy series about the Kingdom of Jior, written by author Wendy L. Anderson.
The adventure began in "Of Demon Kind" book one in the series. "Of Demon Kind," the first in what seems like a promising series of adventures. You'll be hooked on the vivid writing that brings the book's many characters to life. Unlike most sword and sorcery epics, this one doesn't try to shove too many characters or scenarios down your throat, and the result is an easy-to-understand story-line that gives the readers a chance to truly know the characters and understand the motives. Such enhancements are rare in the genre, and truly separate this work from the pack." Great Northwest Book Festival
"Redemption of the Fallen" is book two in the Kingdom of Jior series in which the combined armies of Vedt march toward Jior intent on slaying everyone and taking revenge for Lorn's past evil deeds. King Lorn must deal with old enemies and new friends, but will he be able to tell the difference? A Juliapicks1.com review had this to say:
"Having read the first of Anderson's books... I could not wait to read the follow-up! I enjoyed the second just as much as the first." "There are several things I like about these books. One is that the struggle between good and evil is not so black and white. The right answers are not clearly drawn... This is beautifully done in the books and the endeavor is authentic... do yourself a favor and read these books- even if you do not like fantasy, check them out. I think you will find them to be a treat."
The saga continues in book three, "Heirs of Jior"! Perilous adventures await Lorn and Lily's children in the third installment of the Kingdom of Jior series.
