Author Description

Allestaria - A world where magick in on the wane, war has become an art, and dangers lurk around every corner. Into this world, a legendary hero will be drawn. Called into existence by the collective desires of Allestaria's inhabitants, this prophesized champion will rise to gather four unique warriors from differing backgrounds and cultures. Together, they will trek across scorching deserts, through murky swamps, and lush forests, and ultimately across a land where darkness reigns eternal, to locate a grim fortress where they will be forced to face their greatest challenge. This is the setting for Quest for a Legend, by Erik Olson, the first book in a new fantasy/adventure series that tells the saga of the Valorian Knights of Mystastar, as they battle to protect Allestaria from the forces of Lord Zox and his Evilan acolytes. The greatest enemy the Valorians must overcome, is not the monsters and villains that haunt the world but their own inner conflicts, as well as the collective ennui of a populous who have seen their sacred prophesy sullied by a string of pretenders and phony Seraphamic Champions over the centuries. Quest for a Legend is a tale of origin and discovery, as Valnor, the true Seraphamic Champion, must struggle to win the acceptance of the very people who have called him forth and given him form through their collective dreams and hopes. Moreover, to accomplish his Seraphamic, ordained crusade, Valnor surrounds himself with a small group of dysfunctional warriors who possess amazing abilities. Their collective struggles within themselves are as pivotal to the series as is the action and epic adventure.
