Thor, un jeune berger de quatorze ans, rêve depuis toujours de s’enrôler dans la Légion. Mais on le juge trop chétif, trop jeune. Pourtant, sa rencontre fortuite avec Argon, le grand sorcier du Roi, scelle son destin : celui-ci lui prédit un avenir exceptionnel et décèle en lui de grands pouvoirs… Thor entend bien prouver sa valeur et lorsqu’il croise dans la Forêt Noire un monstre terrible connu sous le nom de Sybold, le jeune garçon sent une force nouvelle l’envahir. À sa grande surprise, il terrasse la créature. Sa décision est prise : il rejoindra la Légion coûte que coûte ! Dès lors, le sorcier Argon garde un œil sur lui : bien plus qu’un simple guerrier, il pourrait être l’Élu…

Aux confins du Royaume de l'Anneau vit un jeune homme nommé Thorgrin promis à un destin illustre. Cadet de la famille, haï par ses quatre frères, mal aimé par son père, il n'a qu'une obsession : entrer coûte que coûte dans la Légion du roi MacGil pour protéger le souverain des créatures de l'autre côté du royaume, là où règnent la magie et les complots. A ses côtés, apparaît et disparaît le grand sorcier du roi, persuadé lui aussi que Thorgrin a un rôle essentiel à jouer dans la sauvegarde du trône et l'épée de la Dynastie. Mais le chemin qui mène jusqu'à la cour est pavé de trahisons et de machinations diaboliques qui pourraient plonger Thorgrin et le royaume dans une nuit sans fin...

A QUEST OF HEROES (BOOK #1 IN THE SORCERER’S RING) revolves around the epic coming of age story of one special boy, a 14 year old from a small village on the outskirts of the Kingdom of the Ring. The youngest of four, the least favorite of his father, hated by his brothers, Thorgrin senses he is different from the others. He dreams of becoming a great warrior, of joining the King’s men and protecting the Ring from the hordes of creatures on the other side of the Canyon. When he comes of age and is forbidden by his father to try out for the King’s Legion, he refuses to take no for an answer: he journeys out on his own, determined to force his way into King’s Court and be taken seriously.

But King’s Court is rife with its own family dramas, power struggles, ambitions, jealousy, violence and betrayal. King MacGil must choose an heir from amongst his children, and the ancient Dynasty Sword, the source of all their power, still sits untouched, waiting for the chosen one to arrive. Thorgrin arrives as an outsider and battles to be accepted, and to join the King’s Legion.

Thorgrin comes to learn he has mysterious powers he does not understand, that he has a special gift, and a special destiny. Against all odds he falls in love with the king’s daughter, and as their forbidden relationship blossoms, he discovers he has powerful rivals. As he struggles to make sense of his powers, the king’s sorcerer takes him under his wing and tells him of a mother he never knew, in a land far away, beyond the Canyon, beyond even the land of the Dragons.

Before Thorgrin can venture out and become the warrior he yearns to be, he must complete his training. But this may be cut short, as he finds himself propelled into the center of royal plots and counterplots, ones that may threaten his love and bring him down—and the entire kingdom with him.
