“THE SORCERER’S RING has all the ingredients for an instant success: plots, counterplots, mystery, valiant knights, and blossoming relationships replete with broken hearts, deception and betrayal.

--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos

In A LAND OF FIRE (BOOK #12 IN THE SORCERER’S RING), Gwendolyn and her people find themselves surrounded on the Upper Isles, besieged by Romulus’ dragons and his million man army. All seems lost—when salvation comes from an unlikely source.

Gwendolyn is determined to find her baby, lost at sea, and to lead her nation-in-exile to a new home. She travels across foreign and exotic seas, encountering unthinkable dangers, rebellion and starvation, as they sail for dream of a safe harbor.

Thorgrin’s finally meets his mother in the Land of the Druids, and their meeting will change his life forever, make him stronger than he has ever been. With a new quest, he embarks, determined to rescue Gwendolyn, to find his baby, and to fulfill his destiny. In an epic battle of dragons and of men, Thor will be tested in every way; as he battles monsters and lays down his life for his brothers, he will dig deeper to become the great warrior he was meant to be.

In the Southern Isles, Erec lies dying, and Alistair, accused of his murder, must do what she can to both save Erec and absolve herself of guilt. A civil war erupts in a power struggle for the throne, and Alistair finds herself caught in the middle, with her fate, and Erec’s, hanging in the balance. 

Romulus remains intent on destroying Gwendolyn, Thorgrin, and what remains of the Ring; but his moon cycle is coming to an end, and his power will be severely tested.

Meanwhile, in the Northern province of the Empire, a new hero is rising: Darius, a 15 year old warrior, who is determined to break off the chains of slavery and rise up amongst his people. But the Northern Capitol is run by Volusia, a 18 year old girl, famed for her beauty—and famed also her barbaric cruelty.

Will Gwen and her people survive? Will Guwayne be found? Will Romulus crush the Ring? Will Erec live? Will Thorgrin return in time? 

With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A LAND OF FIRE is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders. 

Books #13--#17 in the series are now available--along with a bundle of the three!

“A spirited fantasy that weaves elements of mystery and intrigue into its story line….For those seeking meaty fantasy adventures, the protagonists, devices, and action provide a vigorous set of encounters that focus well on Thor's evolution from a dreamy child to a young adult facing impossible odds for survival….Only the beginning of what promises to be an epic young adult series.”
Midwest Book Review (D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer) (regarding A Quest of Heroes)

  • Really!!

    The author is definitely confused! Is there ever going to be a tune when she finishes this series to begin another!! we have Thor and his group going off the search for his son. Then we have Gwen searching for a place for the people to live UNSIDE the empire! We still have Erec recovering from an assassination attempt after his bride to be drinks s truth water!! Now the author starts a whole new bunch of characters and plots into an already developed story!! Did she get bored? Has she exhausted all of the scenarios for the original characters? Finish one story before you begin with another!! You are intermingling to many characters and with the type of editors that try to keep names and plots straight you are just going to have a confusing story!! I’m sorry this really is poor planning!!

    At first I loved this series, I loved the thought, I loved it all, but by book 7 I realized Morgan was in it for the money, it is really the same general idea, damsel in distress, made a mistake, someone in trouble/about to die/ dead, magically saved by God. I is getting quite boring and 13 books, seriously!? Easily made into 4 books. I found this book series a hit disappointing, shallow characters and over rated. I don't think that I will be buying the next book.

    This is the series that never ends. It should have ended with the first defeat of the million man army. Since then there have been about 5 other million man armies. Always the same, about to die and then get suddenly rescued scenes throughout the series. Horrible or no editing, the author can't remember what she's said on the page before. Pathetically written.
  • Good story. Needs proof-reading

    The story has a good plot but does anyone ever proof-read the book before it is uploaded to iTunes? I keep on coming across spelling mistakes and even wrong character's names at some points during the story.
