Enemy of the Crown: An Epic Fantasy Novel

by Bennett

Overview

What hope have so few against so many?

Halvaria. The very name conjures images of a vast empire, determined to rule the world of Eiddenwerthe.

For over a thousand years, their mighty armies have crushed all who opposed them. Now, it's poised to complete the Great Dream, the conquest of the entire Continent. Their legions stand ready to march, the navy prepared to sweep their enemies from the seas. All that remains is to secure their western border by subjugating an upstart kingdom of mercenaries.

With the threat of Halvaria looming, Merceria is forced to send warriors to their allies, leaving them with little to safeguard their borders. Barely united by a fragile peace, the four kingdoms battle civil unrest that threatens to destroy everything from within, leaving them ripe for invasion.

There is no turning back. The might of the world's greatest empire lies on the cusp of annihilating its newest enemy! Merceria will do everything in its power to survive, but even that might not be enough.

The eyes of the empire are upon Merceria in Enemy of the Crown, Paul J Bennett's shocking twelfth book in the Heir to the Crown Series.

About the Author

Paul J Bennett (b. 1961) emigrated from England to Canada in 1967. His father served in the British Royal Navy, and his mother worked for the BBC in London. As a young man, Paul followed in his father's footsteps, joining the Canadian Armed Forces. He is married to Carol Bennett and has three daughters who are all creative in their own right.Paul's interest in writing started in his teen years when he discovered the roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons (D &D). What attracted him to this new hobby was the creativity required, the need to create realms, worlds and adventures that pulled the gamers into his stories.In his 30's, Paul started to dabble in designing his own roleplaying system, using the Peninsular War in Portugal as his backdrop. His regular gaming group were willing victims, er, participants in helping to playtest this new system. A few years later, he added additional settings to his game, including Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, World War II, and the all-important Fantasy Realm where his stories occur.The beginnings of his first book, Servant of the Crown, originated over eight years ago when he began running a new fantasy campaign. For the world that the Kingdom of Merceria is in, he ran his adventures like a TV show, with seasons that each had twelve episodes and an overarching plot. When the campaign ended, he knew all the characters, what they had to accomplish, what needed to happen to move the story along, inspiring him to sit down and write his first novel. Paul now has four series based in his fantasy world of Eiddenwerthe. He looks forward to sharing many more books with his readers over the coming years.
