The Tales of the Wanderer Volume One: A Book of Underrealm (The Underrealm Volumes 4) Garrett Robinson (poetry books to read TXT) 📖

the manner of this bereavement, which is the kingdom’s as much as it is my own.

With misery fresh cast aside, let us now examine eagle-eyed the cause of our loss, and the action demanded in turn.

I do inform you now:

That the High King Enalyn of the family Lemstad has grown jealous and anxious at the rise of the star of King Jun of the family Fei.

That she did covet the riches of our kingdom even beyond that which we paid her in just and fair tax, which taxes she raised highly until they were no longer just, and which then required we make righteous war to earn the coin to pay.

That she did then object to our wars and spoke perfidiously against them in her court, out of fear of decrying our king openly.

That she was further incensed by the riches stolen from the southern reaches of the kingdom of Selvan, which she hails from, though the taking of such riches was necessitated by her own unjust and covetous taxes.

That she did barbarously and cruelly order the assassination of King Jun and dispatched her agents to enact the same.

There is now no other choice. I, Wojin of the family Fei, being the eldest living brother of the father of King Jun, and thus the most eligible living heir to the throne, do now take up his seat upon the throne.

I shall never touch his crown. That shall now be a hallowed relic of the royal family of Dorsea until time ends, and it shall be placed on prominent display in the royal palace. A new crown shall I have forged for myself, silver in pale imitation of Jun’s golden light, which shall forever humble me in its shadow.

Here, too, do I declare the kingdom of Dorsea an independent kingdom. Free are we of the bonds that once tied us to the nation of Underrealm, and especially of the bonds that held us to Enalyn, the so-called High King. Any person who would so deviously and evilly beguile and ensnare one of her own most loyal servants deserves neither loyalty nor fealty, but only scorn and war.

I declare this now on the 5th day of Maius in the First Year of the age of Fei.

I so decree, even as my tears of mourning stain this page.

Wojin the Mournful, of the family Fei

First Independent King of Dorsea

Kaita is gone. Mag’s wanderings have just begun. But this is not the end of the tale.

War has been building. Now it has come.

The tale of the Wanderer is only one thread in the tapestry of Underrealm. Shades gather in the shadows. Thieves topple kings and merchants. Wizards plumb the depths of dark secrets.

And the battle between the Lifemage and the Necromancer is about to begin.

Meet Oris, a humble woman who desires only a sellsword’s life, and her best friend Flip, an uncommonly powerful wizard. Together with the mysterious woman Silvin, they are about to embark on a journey of danger and discovery.

And on Oris’ life hangs the fate of the nine kingdoms.

It’s all in the pages of Lifemage Dawning, the first book in the Resurrection Cycle. Get it here:
