Description
Book Synopsis
Forsake the real life. Embrace the fantasy.
The Song of the Prophet has long foretold that an apocalypse of storms, pestilence and war would tear the land of Rhye asunder. The path to salvation is obscure - hope seems to lie in a mysterious saviour, somewhere beyond the Seventh Sea.
For friends Mustapha, Harold, Meadow and Dique, a moment of mischief leads to the greatest adventure of their lives. A simple heist turned sour hurls them into a monumental journey, culminating at the heart of Rhye's crisis. Along the way, all the existential questions are asked: Can true love heal the gravest ill? Will the Gods of old hear a solemn plea? Most importantly - can pixies survive without cheese or drowseberry wine?
'The King of Rhye' is part fairy tale, part dark fantasy, part whimsy and all heart, as the glorious legacy of rock band Queen is realised in a full-blown literary adventure for the ages.
Review Quotes
"Fantastical, fictional creatures spill from the mind of author, Craig Mulhall, onto the pages of his Faery book, The King of Rhye ... an unparalleled imaginative journey. Anything is possible in this Faery tale."
- Judith Flitcroft, author of Walk Back in Time
"The King of Rhye takes the reader on a journey through mischief, despair, and triumph in the land of Rhye. The lore and unique characters incorporated in the worldbuilding brings colour to the story. A solid debut novel for Mulhall."
