Twenty-four-year-old Liam is a traumatized warrior in a paradise free of war. He works his high-rise job. He is safe, comfortable, and free of suffering. For years, the portals to the brutal and magical world of Erentyr, where Liam came from, have been sealed, civilization protected. All that Liam wants is to live a normal life, to forget about his family's slaughter in Erentyr before he escaped. But soon he learns that one of his family members is still alive. Flush with terror but clinging to hope, Liam illegally returns to Erentyr's savage but Fairywild beauty. Once there, however, he finds that much more than fear and hope has awakened in him…

I loved this book...Goodwyn’s King of the Forgotten Darkness maps the lands of heroic quest and enchantment known to C. S. Lewis, Tolkien, Philip Pullman, Ursula Le Guin, and J. K. Rowling. We follow Liam who has been severed from his love, his fate, his imagination and his home. Can he find his way back into the world of terror and delight, of magic, of creatures that prophesy and dragons that promise annihilation or deep being? With a blend of Celtic culture and fantasy so sinuous it enters our dreams, King of the Forgotten Darkness reads like a key to a new series as gripping as it is revelatory. For surely The Forgotten Darkness is our own. ~ Susan Rowland (PhD) Author The Sacred Well Murders and The Alchemy Fire Murder
