Even on a pleasure ship crowded with a cargo of gorgeous concubines, Lijena Farleigh stands out as the most beauteous. In her possession is the magical Sword of Kwerin Bloodhawk, a blade that can free or enslave an entire continent. Her goal is simple. Deliver the blade to Prince Felrad so he can triumph against the usurper Zarek Yannis. To do so will require using her every wile.

With the sword, Felrad might be invincible—but he must defeat not only a human army but also a demonic one led by the Faceless Ones—fiery hell riders each the match for a hundred soldiers.

Felrad. Yannis. One will live and one will die—and by Lijena’s hand fate is sealed.

FOR CROWN AND KINGDOM chronicles daring, desperate battles between good and evil with the fate of a kingdom in the balance.

Be sure to read books 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 — To Demons Bound, A Yoke of Magic, Blood Fountain, Death’s Acolyte, and Beasts of the Mist.

December 14^th, 1861. Queen Victoria dies from typhoid fever. A distraught Prince Albert instigates a coup and takes direct control of the Empire. A patron of science, he steers the path of progress down a dark and dangerous road, antagonizing the forces of magic and the occult as he strives to bring his queen back from the other side. As the 21st century dawns, the world is trapped in a Victorian caricature, industry powered by sun and steam. And nearly 150 years since the death of his wife, Albert still fights to bring her back, his lifespan unnaturally extended with steam power and black arts.

When journalist Jackson Clarke is sent to the Isle of Man to investigate the tale of a talking animal, he unwittingly steps into a battle between mankind and an ancient evil imprisoned beneath the peaceful island. Charged with treason and cut off from the mainland, can Clarke defeat the Devil in Chains?

Accolades for The Devil in Chains:
“A bright and breezy steampunk tale, narrated in a suitably archaic style, and featuring much mystery, several marvelous technologies and a creeping sense of impending doom.”

“I was honestly surprised and a bit disappointed when I reached the final page so soon - and that has to be a good sign.”

“A great read and very exciting.”

This is the Adam’s first story with Legends and we look forward to more in the future:
Adam Christopher was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1978. In 2006 he moved to the sunny North West of England, where he lives in domestic bliss with wife and cat. When not writing, Adam can be found drinking tea, reading Green Lantern comics, and annoying people at his fencing club by being incredibly bad at epee.

The Devil in Chains is a prequel to Adam’s forthcoming novel, Dark Heart. For more information, please visit www.adamchristopher.co.uk. ]]> ZappTek ZappTek 2009-03-05T15:09-06:00 Legends brings you The Devil in Chains by Adam Christopher.
