The King's Last Word, Epic Fantasy Adventure
(2025)(The third book in the Rule of Otharia series)
A novel by Debra L Martin and David W Small
An evil genius, a centuries-old betrayal, and a secret dating back to Merlin the Magician.
The crystal trade of Otharia is integral to the very fabric of society, but it’s shrouded in mystery. A mystery going back to the times of King Arthur, Merlin the Magician, and the forbidden planet of Earth.
Janus Vogdo was the Grand Duke in the Kingdom of Otharia and held a monopolistic control of the crystal trade, but his preeminent power was built on a house of cards. When his nefarious criminality came to light, his devastating fall from grace had dire consequences for the entire kingdom. Imprisoned, disgraced, and shunned, it seemed the once great statesman was finished, but like any master manipulator, Janus had a plan. Escaping from prison, he gathers a sect of loyalists who call themselves the Red Alliance to incite war across the kingdom and ultimately crown him king.
Called upon by King Lucas to rise up and champion the cause of righteousness, the noble twins, Darius and Dyla Telkur, along with Eclair Jortac, set out to thwart the secret machinations of Janus Vogdo and the Red Alliance. One journey leads to Earth, and to their ancestors—descendants of Merlin the Magician—who offer to help secure the weapons for the fight on Otharia.
Time is running out. The Red Alliance has begun its campaign of conquest that might well spell the doom of King Lucas and his loyal followers. Can the loyalists find the help they seek to overcome the Red Alliance, or will the Kingdom of Otharia fall into an evil despot’s hands?
