Born in 1959, Ed Greenwood currently lives out in the beautiful countryside of Ontario. He is happy to live in Canada in an old farmhouse and continue to not only play Dungeons & Dragons but write more novels for his readers while enjoying the quiet beauty of his home.
The Kingless Land is the debut novel in the Band of Four series. It is set in Aglirta, a place that is called the Kingless Land for obvious reasons. The land had once been in a golden age, enjoying both prosperity and peace. But where once everything was fine, now the land has fallen into dark times. Lawlessness pervades throughout the land, and as if that were not bad enough, the baronies are constantly feuding and as a result, find themselves infinitely at war with each other.
Can anything bring peace to the valley? The land desperately needs things to turn around or Aglirta will fall for good. The only chance that things will fall back into balance may lie in a myth of old. The legend of the Sleeping King predicts that the king will rise up as it is destined to be and when he rises he will restore the peace to the land.
Can these predictions come true? Whether they seem likely to be real or not, no one can deny that the land is in desperate need of some type of order. The Sleeping King may be the only hope for the people of this land to see things change. Otherwise, things may go from bad to worse, and things in Aglirta are already bad. All that must be done is to recover the stones of Dwaerindim and attempt to help the king to rise as it was foretold.
When the daughter of a baron that wants to rule the world is imprisoned for the purpose of magically fortifying his castle, she gets some thieves that want to steal her gowns to help her escape. Together they will seek out the stones, with the help of a cleric on their side. Check out The Kingless Land to find out what happens in this page-turning epic novel from Ed Greenwood!
The Vacant Throne is the sequel in the Band of Four series. Aglirta is the land without a king and in the absence of leadership, this place fell into the worst times that perhaps it had ever been through. Gone was the harmony and prosperity of the land that once was, with chaos and lawlessness in its place.
Even the baronies that were at war with each other may have to cease. After all, the land that has become so famous for not having a king may have to get a new nickname. Royalty has come to grace the land once more, and hopefully with it will come a new era of abundance and peace for its people. Perhaps the bad times are finally over.
The land has a king once more, and now things will hopefully change. Things are about to fall into place with the return of the predicted savior of the land, the sleeping king of legend. The Band of Four has been amazingly successful in their attempts to recover the stone and awaken the king in the hopes of saving the land.
Just who are the band of four that could pull off this task? They include Hawkril, Craer, Sarasper, and Lady Embra Silvertree. Hawkril is a warrior of great strength and boldness who can be relied upon on any mission. Craer is a thief whose wit is only outmatched by their craftiness. Sarasper is a healer that has spent years learning their craft. Lastly, Lady Embra Silvertree, the Lady of Jewels, serves as their magical aspect for she is a strong sorceress with quite a bit of power.
The curse of the king has been lifted with the help of the stones. But will it take more than just these stones to get him on top of the throne that has sat empty for so long? When devious barons are all too ready to challenge the king when it comes to the throne, he may just have to rise to the occasion and hopefully win out with the help of the trusted band of four.
With dark forces waiting in the shadows to claim him if he falls, the king cannot afford to lose. Luckily, he has the Band of Four to help him claim the vacant throne and at last free Aglirta from the dark shadow that threatens to overtake it.
The Band of Four is back once again in this dynamic series from Ed Greenwood! Pick up this exciting book to find out for yourself whether the kingdom can ever come back again, or if it will fall forever when laid siege to by evil.
