Summary

Such was the legend, neatly inscribed on a small white card, that met the gaze of the visitor to Number 22 Whitson. As Number 22 was the last room on the corridor, and as the single light was at the head of the stairway, the legend was none too legible after nightfall, and the boy who had paused in front of it to regain his breath after a hurried ascent of the two steep flights had difficulty in reading it. When he had deciphered it and glanced at the little cardboard box below, in which reposed a tiny scratch-pad and a stubby pencil, he smiled amusedly ere he raised his hand and rapped on the portal.

    “I await each release by this author eagerly and have never been disappointed!”

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    
    The #1 Bestselling series! 
    
    DAWN OF THE CHOSEN is book #7 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! 
    
    In DAWN OF THE CHOSEN, a mysterious crystalline plague begins spreading across Escalon, leaving victims marked with slowly spreading fractal patterns that promise a lingering death. Intent on finding its source, Queen Kyra must abandon her newly liberated kingdom despite being heavily pregnant with twins. 
    
    Her desperate quest takes her beyond the troll lands of Marda into a barren wasteland ruled by giants, where shocking truths await her about her dynasty's connection to both light and shadow. In an ancient tomb, Kyra receives a devastating prophecy about her unborn twins—one of goodness and light, and the other of darkness and shadow.
    
    The birth of her twins triggers ancient magic that raises a crystal fortress from the glaciers, attracting an immortal adversary and establishing a dangerous separation that will shape the destiny of the kingdoms.
    
    With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, KINGS AND SORCERERS is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders. 
    
    Future books in the series are also available!

    Journey of an apprentice pilgrim...

    We present a heartfelt tribute to what many call vocation or purpose. Join me in the journey of a young man, Kadmiel, as he ventures through various trades in search of his true calling, reflecting the experiences shared by millions worldwide, as Vicki Robin eloquently conveyed in her book, "The Stock Market or Life." Some find their passion early on and follow a steady path, while others, like Kadmiel, zigzag through a dozen jobs, always moving forward. 
    However, this work serves a dual purpose. Beyond just Kadmiel's tale, it aims to awaken us from the slumber of life's vicious cycle. Most of us find ourselves trapped in the belief that work solely exists to pay the bills, inadvertently forgetting the essential question: What about our happiness? Vicki Robin's words beautifully encapsulate this scenario - if the daily grind truly brought us joy and a sense of fulfillment, the trials and inconveniences would be a minor price to pay. But increasingly, it's evident that money doesn't guarantee the happiness we seek beyond a certain level of comfort. 
    If this resonates with you in any way, this book is meant for you. It delves into the quest for meaning and happiness that many of us find ourselves on.
