In De Tovenaarsring

The debut of the best-selling author Morgan Rice of an incredible new fantasy series. A SEARCH OF HEROES (the first book of De Wovenaarsring) is about the epic story about a special boy of fourteen, from a small village on the edge of the Kingdom of the Ring. He is the youngest of four children, the least favorite of his father and hated by his brothers. Thorgrin feels that he is different from the others. He dreams of becoming a great warrior, joining the King's men and protecting the Ring from the evil creatures on the other side of the Ravine. When his father forbids him to take part in the King's Armed Forces try-out, he refuses to get caught up in it: he sets out alone, determined to reach the Royal Court and seriously. But many family dramas, power struggles, ambitions, jealousy, violence and betrayal lurk in the Royal Court. King MacGil must choose an heir from his children and the age-old Sword of Destiny, the source of all their strength, is still untouched, waiting for the chosen one to arrive. Thorgrin is an outsider and he must fight to be accepted and join the armed forces. Thorgrin finds out he has mysterious powers that he doesn't understand, that he has a gift, and a special destiny. Against all odds, he falls in love with the King's daughter, and while their forbidden relationship flourishes, he discovers that he has powerful rivals. Struggling with his new powers, the King's wizard takes him under his wing and tells him about a mother he has never known, in a land far away, beyond the Ravine, beyond the land of the Dragons. Before Thorgrin can set out and become the warrior he wants to be, he must complete his training. But that is suddenly interrupted, and he is dragged into Royal conspiracies that threaten his love and want to destroy him and the entire Kingdom.
