The Lost Gem

De: Richard J. Wilkinson

Narrado por: Sean 'DrC' Cordry, Charles Conover, Kelly Wilkinson

Adopted and protected by loving tribe giants, a young human boy Cheeba discovers his identity—the lost son of a royal family, destined to be an emperor.

The demon wizard Stygos and his minions, having emerged from the underworld during a great quake, scorch the lands in pursuit of Cheeba and his princess sister. Only the royal children's blood will save the life of their dying demon queen.

Journey with Cheeba as he adventures into the realm of knights and magic in his quest to find his true family and unite the kingdoms against the mighty demon wizard Stygos. Action, unspoken love, sacrifice - wizards good and evil, a dissolute king, a brave sea captain, wraiths, and fantastic beasts await the reader in a fresh new world where the stakes are high, and no one is safe.

"Go on, my love, and I shall, too, this I give my word to you. I promise thee I’ll join ye...one day upon the sea." (Sir Arlin, First Searcher of House Dejourn)

An epic fantasy filled with warmth and surprises

I can't give 5 all around cuz I'm the author's brother and thus biased... but anyone who wants a truly heart felt fantasy distraction (the family friendly kind) that wasn't pumped out of a story factory should give this a go. A bit narrative thick at first and couple of the name selections are awkward but the story arc has plenty of payoffs later that are fast paced and tender and impactful. Very proud.

A Captivating Story

The Lost Gem is a captivating tale with an epic story arc and rich characters, some you love and some you love to hate. The narration is excellent. The ensemble cast adds dimension to the characters and brings the story to life vividly in the mind's eye. I highly recommend!
