King's Folly - (Kinsman Chronicles) by Jill Williamson (Paperback)

About the Book

The king of Armania believes the volcanic eruptions, sinkholes, and ground shakers are due to the gods being angry because his citizens commit wrongful deeds and worship the evil horned god Barthos. His son Prince Wilek, the ever dutiful First Arm of Armania, thinks his father's superstitions are nonsense. Prince Wilek is sent by the king to investigate when a messenger arrives and claims that the town of Farway has been swallowed by the earth. The prince discovers things are more cataclysmic than one lost city as he sets out on a desperate journey to save his people and his world. But can he do it before the entire land crumbles?

"This series starter is an intense drama of biblical proportions...Wilek, Mielle, and Trevn in particular are intriguing, and the ending leaves readers wondering what adventures await this group of young people searching for truth."--RT Book Reviews

"Williamson crafts a complex and vividly portrayed epic fantasy reminiscent of George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series but less edgy and with a Christian worldview. Loosely following the events in the Old Testament, the author depicts a society in which paganism and superstition are deeply ingrained prior to the coming of the Savior."--Library Journal

"This first book in the Kinsman Chronicles contains all the archetypal elements fantasy readers long for: a dangerous quest, the search for restoration, and a hero's trial and tribulations through vast darkness and adventure. Fans will be swept away by Williamson's fantasy world...King's Folly is an expertly crafted epic tale in the Tolkien tradition that will leave customers impatiently waiting the next installment."--CBA Retailers + Resources
