The Stoneholding
In
the tradition of epic fantasy comes "The Talamadh,"
a heroic tale of grand scope that will speak to readers of all
ages. Set in the time of legend, a time of pastoral simplicity,
before the advent of machines and technology, The Talamadh portrays
the ageless struggle between good and evil in the richly imagined
world of Ahn Norvys.
For thousands of years the
diverse realms of Ahn Norvys have known only peace and security.
Governed by the great harmony established in ages past by the first
High King, Ardiel, whose wondrously crafted harp, the Talamadh,
first bound together the heavens and the earth in peace, the folk
of Ahn Norvys have lived simple, unfettered lives.
But Ardiel's binding is beginning to unravel. The intimate connections
between the things of heaven and the things of earth are being torn
asunder. As the Great Harmonic Age draws toward its dire close,
moral and social decay has taken hold in the land. Chaos and misrule
are afoot, as are treachery and injustice. Evil figures grow in
power and influence . . .
In The Stoneholding,
the Talamadh is stolen from Wilum, the High Bard, in whose care
it traditionally rests in the remote highland clanholding of Lammermorn.
To Kalaquinn Wright, a young Holdsman, falls the adventurous task
of recovering the harp and embarking on the journey, a journey of
danger and discovery, to restore the faltering harmony to a people
and a world already deep beneath the shadow of darkness.
