An omnibus of novels by J W Elliot
His battleground is the heathland.
Brion of Wexford must become more than a simple archer if he is to survive the savage violence of the heathland and save the ones he loves. All the while, he is haunted by a past he had no part in making while being drawn into events he cannot control by forces he does not understand.
Deliverance
Brion never meant to start a war. But when they murdered his parents and enslaved his sister and his sweetheart, they left him no choice.
Brion of Wexford is the son of a crippled trapper living a quiet life on the edge of the vast and unruly heathland. But when Salassani raiders destroy his world, he must venture into the heathland to attempt the impossible task of finding the girls, rescuing them, and conveying them safely home across hundreds of miles of enemy territory.Now Brion finds himself pursued by men bent on his destruction, deprived of his protectors, and haunted by the knowledge that his murdered father has hidden a dark secret that could reshape Brion's entire identity. Brion must find a way to stay alive long enough to get the girls safely home.
Betrayal
Is a kingdom worth the lives of those you love?
Brion of Wexford is drawn into the war he helped to create, but never wanted to fight. When he seeks to unravel Weyland's secrets and the truth about his own identity, Brion finds himself betrayed at every turn. Now the only way to survive and keep the Kingdom of Coll from falling to the invading Dunkeldi army is to find the lost prince and put him on the throne before it is too late. But the lost prince may not be who Brion thinks he is, and things spiral out of control as coups and countercoups plunge Coll into chaos just as the Dunkeldi army is poised to destroy the kingdom once and for all.
Vengeance
Everyone has a score to settle as the battle for the heathland begins.
While Brion has discovered his true identity and survived the plots to kill him, his Carpentini mother he thought long dead has been driven into hiding and Brion and Finola venture into the heathland to find her. When they discover that the Dunkeldi king has outlawed the Carpentini and Salassani and is hunting them to extinction, Brion and Finola race to find his mother before it is too late. They soon realize that they are embroiled in a war for the heathland and for the heart and soul of its people. The Bracari besiege the desperate remnant of the Carpentini and Salassani in their last refuge in the Aveen Mountains. Meanwhile, King Emyr makes a reckless gamble to unite the entire island under his rule. Now Brion must decide between saving his mother and his wife or saving King Emyr and the whole of the Frei-Ock Isle from chaos and bloodshed. If he chooses wrong, he may lose everything and everyone he cares about.
This is an adventure series perfect for fans of John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice, J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, T.H. White's The Sword in the Stone, Christopher Paolini's Eragon series, and George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire series.
