The Quest (Part One of The Kingdom Trilogy)

by Sean McGuire

Overview

All Arman wanted to do was find his place in life. When he does, he is hurled into a madness he could never have imagined, and burdened with a quest that he does not have the strength to complete.

A mysterious old man comes to him in the wake of tragedy. He is Menemaeus, the immortal warrior who has defended Upper Nola and the rest of Arman's world for millenia. His job was supposed to be done. The Nameless One was supposed to be locked away forever, after his last defeat at Menemaeus' hands.

He's back. Somehow he's back. And Menemaeus has discovered that Arman is the heir of a dynasty that brought peace and glory to Upper Nola after that last defeat. Menemaeus wants Arman to ride out and warn the world, while he seeks the only weapon that can stop the Nameless One's power.

Arman had no idea what would befall him if he made that choice. With trembling lips, he said yes.

Are you ready to watch a world fall apart?

About the Author

Sean McGuire is a man without a hometown, and a man who has a story to tell, just like you.

In 1992, he was born to a Roman Catholic Marine officer and an ex-Methodist lady. In his childhood, he moved with them between California and Virginia multiple times. They wound up in Milwaukee when his father retired from the Corps to get a theology degree, and in Montana when a college hired him as a professor. Sean graduated from high school there, and went to Kansas to study English at Benedictine College.

He's been influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Andrew Lang, Mel Gibson, Flannery O' Connor, Peter Jackson, Edmund Spenser, John Milton and many other fine storytellers. Nothing touches his day like a good story.
