About This Book
The Romalus name, synonymous with royalty, has outlasted memory and written record within the city of Calantha and upon the continent of Lisrrania. Romalus: A name and family of such strength and duration that no power, whether from man or magic, might break the bindings that has held for centuries. But as certainly as peace lives in the hearts of the citizenry, a hideous creature of royal birth resides in the fetid chambers of Calantha Castle. The half animal, half man has a name, Warton Romalus, first born to King Cedric and legal heir to the throne. With sin and shame as his catalyst, Cedric abandons Warton upon the icy slopes of Skell Mountain, to live or die by strength and chance in a wilderness far removed from Cedric's guilt. Befriended by a woodcutter, Crestin Aleyn, Warton begins his battle against royal corruption and the unnumbered Internals, a race of underground creatures led by Eulad Stonner, a man with sufficient vileness and treachery that he has the strength to take the kingdom for himself. Here is a classic yet fresh approach to medieval fantasy. Herein are characters bearing sin and piety, hope and loss, shame and pride, romance and hatred, facing dangers and emotions that move them steadily toward their end, be it death or eventual happiness.
