Book Description
The novel tells the story of a young King of Montenana who came to the west. Excerpt: There is always a certain flavor of romance hanging like a purple mist upon a palace, and there was an added perfume in the case of Fritz of Montenana because he had come westward with the avowed purpose of seeking a wife. As everybody knows, Montenana is a pocket kingdom, lying between Russia and Turkey. For the rest, it is mountainous and picturesque, somewhat poverty-stricken, and given over at times to the spirit of revolution.

"What a marvel!...Saylor's masterful storytelling puts you right there, wonderstruck and wide-eyed. Deliciously immersive, captivating entertainment from a justly celebrated writer." —Margaret George In The Throne of Caesar, award-winning mystery author Steven Saylor turns to the most famous murder in history: It’s Rome, 44 B.C., and the Ides of March are approaching. Julius Caesar, appointed dictator for life by the Roman Senate, has pardoned his remaining enemies and rewarded his friends. Now Caesar is preparing to leave Rome with his legions to wage a war of conquest against the Parthian Empire. But he has a few more things to do before he goes. Gordianus the Finder, after decades of investigating crimes and murders involving the powerful, has been raised to Equestrian rank and has firmly and finally decided to retire. But on the morning of March 10th, he’s first summoned to meet with Cicero and then with Caesar himself. Both have the same request of Gordianus—keep your ear to the ground, ask around, and find out if there are any conspiracies against Caesar’s life. And Caesar has one other matter of vital importance to discuss. Gordianus’s adopted son Meto has long been one of Caesar’s closest confidants. To honor Meto, Caesar plans to bestow on Gordianus an honor which will change not only his life but the destiny of his entire family. It will happen when the Senate next convenes on the 15th of March. Gordianus must dust off his old skills and see what plots against Julius Caesar, if any, he can uncover. But more than one conspiracy is afoot. The Ides of March is fast approaching and at least one murder is inevitable.

A thousand years ago, a sacred prophecy was split between two beings—one good and the other evil. Now, as the citizens of Eret prepare for the millennial celebration of their creation, the race for their allegiance draws near. From the far west, in the Valley of Shadows, Lord Abaylin seeks the prophesied Phalyadin to destroy him. From the east, in the Temple of Balance, Master Josiah seeks to protect him. Unfortunately, thousands of citizens who lie in between will soon fall at the hand of Lord Abaylin unless the Phayladin rises in time to protect them. In celebration of the millennium, the king of Bodain and the king of Todere decide to unite their two kingdoms in the marriage of their children, Prince Morgan and Princess Lillian, but with the prophecy of the Phayladin revealed, the king of Bodain is sought out to help recover the prophecy. Certain that the prophecy identifies the prince of Bodain as the Phalyadin, Master Josiah convinces the king of Bodain to let Prince Morgan accompany him in the battle, so the wedding is put on hold until Prince Morgan and Master Josiah are able to lead the army of Bodain back home. Is Prince Morgan truly the Phalyadin? Will he accept this role in time to save the citizens of Eret? Or will Lord Abaylin's harshest general and fifteen thousand soldiers trample right through the area surrounding the Great Divide, slaughtering everyone in their quest to halt the Rise of the Phalyadin? Immerse yourself in the fantasy world of Eret and be a part of the first book in The Accounts of Amari Series—Rise of the Phalyadin, an allegorical novel with themes of faith, courage, wisdom, and redemption.
