The Warlord's Crown (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798223006879)

Mugen Genshi was born as an Evitan, a human whose inner glow meant he had a great destiny in front of him. He had spent the first decade of his adult life ignoring his destiny, instead choosing to test his fighting prowess against any monster he could find, the more dangerous the better. When the peaceful village he was raised in is attacked by Devils and his adoptive father is killed, Mugen finds the responsibility of leadership suddenly thrust upon his unwilling shoulders. On one last adventure before settling down, he gains the help of a surly halfling pirate, a scatterbrained old healer, a drunken kung-fu minotaur, a scientifically-minded knight, and a bizarre magical spirit to obtain the one item which would prove his abilities beyond any doubt: The crown of the evil warlord Hexzik.

THE WARLORD'S CROWN is the first book of ten in VOLGNA, an action-packed epic fantasy series about the kind of heroics necessary to save the world. Drawing inspiration from heavy metal music imagery lends a unique style to the scenery and creates an exciting experience for those looking for a different kind of fantasy, and for metal fans who have never read a book like this before. The story is complex and intertwining in a way that only a fully-developed fantasy world can provide, and thus THE WARLORD'S CROWN sets the stage for the next book in the series, STORM OF REBELLION.
