The
Splintered Crown
A
Tankards and Heroes Novel
by
Larry N. Martin
Genre:
Epic Fantasy, Adventure Quest
A
medieval fantasy with a party of adventurers all ready to make a name
for themselves and earn some gold.
Tankards
and Heroes is set in the city of Kortufan, where spies, assassins,
mercenaries, arms dealers, rebels, smugglers, and informants do dirty
deals dirt cheap.
The
Poxy Dragon is a rough bar outside the worst part of the medieval
Silk Road. It takes serious courage just to walk into the place, not
only from its reputation but because of the rough clientele,
questionable food, awful beer, and abysmal hygiene. Lots of taverns
in Kortufan are home to ruffians and illegal dealings, but the Poxy
Dragon is the proving ground for heroes - with a cemetery out back
for the ones who don’t make the cut.
Lady
Leota, the resident demigoddess at the Poxy Dragon, sends would-be
heroes to different realms on quests. Once committed, there is no
turning back, and if they want their reward, every party member must
return through the portal – dead or alive.
This is the type of storytelling that captivated me as a child, that started my love of reading.
Our little band of misfit mercenaries has hit on hard times. They just need one last hurrah so they can settle down away from the law, the hunters in search of a bounty, the overall craziness. When an opportunity is presented to them they take it.
What follows is truly an epic adventure that transports the reader into a realm of magic, mystery, and mischief.
I am torn as to who my favorite character is. Each one was so well crafted and brought their own unique touch to the story line.
Martin created a bewitching universe that easily transports the reader to another realm.
The copy I read was comp and this was a new author for me - One that I now added to my must-read list of favorites.
If you enjoy a full-length tale that enchants and entertains look no further!
