Meet the Author

In spring 2002, Robert Stanek's first books, Keeper Martin's Tale and Elf Queen's Quest, appeared on bookshelves and become instant bestsellers, spending a combined 26 weeks on the Amazon.com Sci-Fi/Fantasy Top 50 list. These stories introduced readers to the fantasy world of Ruin Mist. The name "Ruin Mist" is the common language translation of an elvish word, which means "the lost ages". The stories of Ruin Mist are set in a fictional past of our world.

The popularity of the Ruin Mist books built up through the release of the subsequent books. Readers were taken with the magical realms, the grand adventures, and the combination of classic fantasy elements with a fresh, highly imaginative approach. In spring 2005, Robert Stanek's books were first published in audio and became instant audio bestsellers, spending more than 52 weeks on Audible.com's bestseller lists. In 2005, his book, The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches, eventually became one of the Top 100 all-time fiction bestsellers on Audible.com. The book was so popular, it was featured on the Audible.com home page throughout July and August 2005.

It's been a fairly open secret that Robert Stanek is the name of the more familiar bestselling author William Stanek. The main reason for using Robert Stanek for fiction and William Stanek for nonfiction was the astounding pace at which William Stanek produces books. With nearly 50 published books to his credit by 2002, he had many upcoming books waiting to be released by his current publishers, and was creating more and more fiction as a creative outlet to balance his work in nonfiction.

"I wanted to find audiences for both my nonfiction and my fiction. I love writing nonfiction works that help people learn how to do new things, but I also love writing fiction works that open new doorways to the imagination," explains Mr. Stanek. "The Ruin Mist books have been a part of who I am since I started them in the 1980s and they allowed me to create a magical realm with many levels of reality. I was overjoyed that I finally could share the realm and the books with others."

The Ruin Mist books have afforded Mr. Stanek an opportunity to explore relationships, family stories, epic sagas, myths, legends, and more. His books have been popular with fans both young and old.

    Should have read reviews

    I really should have, but i foolishly thought.99 and 'optimized' was a good combo. Now, like lots of others, I want my money back. It was unreadable due to font size, the inability to go to landscape, and no zoom capability. I thought this would be a nice way to try out an author I'd never read...instead it give me a bad experience that has nothing to do with RS's writing are story telling skills.

    I want my dollar back!

    NookCOLOR Optimized? Can't pinch and zoom, cannot change text size therefore I cannot read it. It has 50 pages but the screen says 2 of 2 pages. Can't go landscape either. It looks like an interesting story and I want to be able to read it. Fix it B&N or give me my dollar back! btw - your comic book offerings are weak at best.

    A daughter of kings

    Robert Stanek probably doesn't need a review. If you haven't heard of him and what his books are about then you're living under a rock. They're awesome books, and although the movies might be great, don't think they would ever do the books justice. I would recommend this to people who enjoy reading about fantasy and adventure. A great and fun start to the series that anyone can read before or after Rise of the Fallen, Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches, In the Service of Dragons.

    Betrayal - a Daughter of Kings

    Delinna Alder is a girl who lives in Great Kingdom controlled by her father in a time when she's promised to a prince of another land. She loves another though and this tears her heart apart as much as it tears apart Great Kingdom. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes action adventure books, with some romance. I read it very quickly because it was so hard to put down. I cannot wait to read the other books in the series.

    Betrayal

    One of my favorite books. Suspenseful and thrilling with an underlying theme that builds great plot structure for the next books. I couldn't put the book down! I had to keep reading because I was worried about the main character!

    Magical!!!

    This is a fantasy world of the first order. One you will not be able to leave behind.

    I really love how Robert Stanek took an ordinary object and turned it into something magical. It seemed like I was really in Ruin Mist with them, standing right next to them. He did a great job writing this series.

    The books are definitely five-star. The color illustrations really bring this book to life!
