PART I of The Red Book trilogy: THE FATAL VERSE OF THE VALLEY
‘In an ageless voice I heard her cry: “For every race’s sake, I must remove them from this world!” It was then she was killed.’
When a strange lady in white passes through his remote village, far to the north of the Shale Valley, Behvyn Hahn follows her. Yet this simple act plunges Behvyn, his brother and his friends into the heart of portentous events that have waited to be unleashed since the lands were first brought into being.
With the Hudron race spilling out of myth, a bewitched King lying in a deadly trance, the return of his estranged girlfriend and the maniacal Captain Fetlock determined to see him hanged for a murder he did not commit, Behvyn learns the terrifying truth of the five Verses of Power - but the only clue to their location is also known to his enemies.
So begins a deadly chase through the Shale Valley as the fate of all hangs in the balance.
A fantastical tale of high imagining, Ben Wright has brought us The Fatal Verse of the Valley, an unforgettable story of friendship and legend that forms the first part of The Red Book trilogy.
