A Tale of Two Fools #1
Sins of Greed
Following the death of his famous scribe and author father, Abben Dindle is thrown into life at court, expected to serve his nation and perform his duties just as his father did; but when both his King and his King’s Royal Seer are broken people, hurt and full of personal vengeance, Abben finds his job to be harder than he expected as he’s thrown into the middle of the plotting and scheming of nations and the greed and sins of men.
Welcome to Lurinlia.
A nation of magic and wizardry, but also of drama and intrigue. A nation on the brink of two wars, one within and one not, due to drastic ideals put in place by it’s paranoid, broken and suffering ruler, Sovereign Faelin Jording. A nation, a society, an entire population being used, without remorse, as fodder and as a necessary evil for it’s vengeful Royal Sibyl, Evelia Ingrin.
But the sins of these two suffering, kindred spirits shall not go unchecked. Under binding rituals did they swear oaths to the Gods to practice their rule and their power benevolently.
When the Gods are lied to, the Gods are not happy.
Someone will pay for their treachery.
As Abben Dindle, a scribe at Faelin Jording’s court, is caught in the middle of the plotting and the scheming of broken nations and arrogant men, he must learn to maneuver through a world much more complicated than he thought.
How will he do it?

You had me at talking trees.
The world-building is extensive and impressive. My favorite character is Morticus.
There is some serious coups in the works. Characters with their own agendas run rampant in this story. Have fun picking a side.
The ending is left pretty open for the sequel. I would have liked resolution to at least one of the various subplots.
Other than that, great detail and story!

I am a fan, and I cannot wait to read the next in the series.
This book is perfect for anyone who loves fantasy. Boasting magic, mystery, suspense, a simmering revolution, a powerful pantheon, a war on the horizon, and a number of magical creatures. With something new to discover around every corner, ‘Sins of Greed’ builds up to a fast paced intensity, leaving you begging for more.
