Synopsis

Robert Stanek's Ruin Mist Chronicles begin when the Elf Queen sends the warrior elf lord, Seth, on a journey to the lands of Man. Legend says that the races have been divided for hundreds of years after a bloody war that left few survivors among the brother races. In Keeper Martin's Tale, we embark on the unfolding of the first path through the histories of Ruin Mist. This is a deep epic fantasy ostensibly chronicled by Keeper Martin, head of lore keepers. The second path through Ruin Mist, Elf Queen's Quest, delves deep into the darker underside of Ruin Mist, and we start to see the three primary realms of Robert's world: Under Earth, Middle Earth, and Over Earth. You can start with the light path (Keeper Martin's Tale) and then read the dark path (Elf Queen's Quest), or vice versa. Look for the powerful sequels Keeper Martin's Tale Part II and Fields Of Honor soon.
