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.

Indulge, slip away to Ruin Mist! Some authors are powerful storytellers. Some create wonderful worlds. Others create memorable characters. When you find an author that is capable of telling a powerful story that revolves around memorable characters in a deep, rich world, you really have something wonderful and wonderful is definitely what this book is about! Mr. Stanek is the author of many previously published books, including several bestsellers. Currently he lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and children. He is proud to have served in the Persian Gulf War as a combat crewmember on an electronic warfare aircraft.

His distinguished accomplishments during the Persian Gulf War earned him nine medals, including the United States of America's highest flying honor, the Air Force Distinguished Flying Cross.
