An Epic Adventure In A Dangerous World

Nov. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- (NEW YORK, NY) Author Nat Howler’s debut release, Three Fugitives, the first book in the Six Stones Trilogy, is taking the fantasy genre by storm, fans calling it the next must-read series they’ve been waiting for.

In Three Fugitives, young Orren has spent his life in a swine barn, under the cruel thumb of his half-brother, Lord Berthus, but when his best friend and mentor dies, Orren finds out he is destined for more. Snatching a stone Berthus prizes, and fleeing the tyrant’s minions, Orren heads for the wilderness seeking refuge. He discovers the stone is one of six of its kind, each of which contains powerful magic. Berthus wants all six, but Orren is determined not to let him have them.

During the course of his journey, Orren makes friends with a clumsy goblin and a fiery young heiress, both of whom join his quest. Together, they must face winter, wild beasts, bandits, peasant uprisings, and a cult with a sinister reputation, while trying to stay ahead of Berthus and his supporters. It soon becomes clear, however, that unless they foil their enemies’ pursuit, their quest is doomed.
