Everyone is convinced that Kell will once again save the world, but can the hero win when he doesn’t even believe in himself? However, caught up in his own legend, and with a new band of heroes forming around him, Kell has no choice but to once again venture forth, even if it means his death. However, Kell is carrying a dark and desperate secret: he is no true hero instead he is just a lucky man broken by his experiences and with no intention of returning to hell.
Taking up his famous sword and ready to revisit the dangers up north, Kell sets out. A terrible evil is said to have taken root in the fortress of the Ice Lich, and their power threatens the entire world. However, fate has a funny way of catching up with heroes, and when word reaches the kingdoms of further trouble in the north, Kell is called for once again. Ten years later, Kell is living the simple life on his family’s farm, content with the peace and quiet and avoiding people where possible. However, not everything you hear in stories is true. Kell’s fame as a hero spread throughout the land thanks to song and story. Twelve men ventured to the north, and only Kell returned, having slain the Ice Lich, leaving the land’s greatest heroes behind in death. At the young age of 17, Kell volunteered to join a band of legendary warriors and heroes on their greatest quest ever: travelling to the far north and killing the Ice Lich to save the world. But I did get the chance last year to read the first book in his new series, The Coward, the first instalment of the Quest for Heroes duology.Įveryone in the Five Kingdoms knows the legend of Kell Kressia, the most renowned hero in all the lands.
Unfortunately, I never got a chance to finish the trilogy off or go back and check out some of the earlier books, which I kind of regret. I ended up reading the second book in this trilogy, Magefall, and quite enjoyed its interesting story. After finishing this initial trilogy, Aryan released a sequel trilogy, the Age of Dread trilogy, which was set 10 years after the events of the first trilogy, which focused on the consequences of the first trilogy, especially the fear and prejudice its magical war brought on every mage in this fantasy world. Aryan debuted back in 2015 with Battlemage, the first book in The Age of Darkness trilogy, which focused on a brutal magical war. Prepare for a legendary quest with a complex and damaged hero as bestselling author Stephen Aryan presents the first book in his new fantasy duology, The Coward.Īryan is an awesome fantasy author who has been writing some great books over the last few years.
