Six days ago, Maebus was a low-ranking councilman in the Realm, Earth's only magical kingdom. Today he's its king, and the crown is already trying to kill him. He took the throne because no one else would. It cost him almost immediately. Warlord Damian has spent years turning the kingdom's own people against it, promising safety from magic and wealth beyond imagination to all those who follow him. Damian's Legion crushes Maebus without breaking stride. Exiled in his own kingdom, Maebus has one hope left: the prophesied Hero of Legend, said to be the Realm's only salvation. But the deeper he searches, the more he realizes Damian was never the real threat. The Realm has hidden a secret for two thousand years, and if it surfaces, no hero will be enough to stop it. The Hero of Legend -- Book One of a completed epic fantasy trilogy. New chapters posting daily until it's fully up.
