The Heart of the King has all the hallmarks you would expect of J.J. Fischer: an action-packed adventure, witty banter, and strong characters with big hearts.
Summary:
When Corcoran arrives to kidnap Rigan North, prophesied to bring about the end of the king’s reign, he’s not sure what he was expecting. But a woman hurling dishware at his head was definitely not on the list. As they begin the treacherous journey back to the king, Rigan will continue to surprise him with her tenacity, cleverness, and endless questions. To be honest, he would almost prefer her escape attempts to her interrogations. Yet, the longer they travel together, the more they are drawn to each other.
Slowly they begin to see how much they have in common. Both Corcoran and Rigan long for freedom, both will do anything to protect those they love, and both struggle with ghosts of their past. But can they overcome bounty hunters, deadly monsters, and cruel tyrants to find the freedom they seek?
About the Book:
Fischer’s newest fantasy offers plenty of twists, heartwarming moments, and a unique setting to explore. I especially look forward to learning more about the Shro Khan in the sequel, the deadly monsters who lurk in the forests and oceans. At this point in the story, we’ve gotten hints of the lore surrounding the mind controlling shapeshifters, bits of superstition and nerve-wracking encounters, but we don’t truly know much about them or how our heroes will bring about their defeat.
An exciting first installment for a fantasy series you won’t want to miss.
