Description

Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.

Reviews

Reader Reviews I started reading her first of two books and almost finished with the first. Kind of brings back English Lit days. I enjoyed reading Robin Hood and similar books which this reminds me of. **********" The Lost King is a very entertaining novel that was most enjoyable to read. From a medieval setting, this writer has drenched our imagination with a story of adventure, fantasy, romance, intrigue, discovery, and a spirit of examination that is reminiscent of the innate quality of mankind that results in new discoveries and inventions that, ultimately, make life on this terrestrial ball more exhilarating and fruitful for all. This book should appeal to everyone. ********** I would highly recommend Devorah Fox's novel The Lost King. It was one of those books you read quickly. You can't wait to see what happens next. I look forward to future efforts from this author. ********** As a new reader of Fantasy fiction I was a little nervous when I started The Lost King by Devorah Fox. The opening of the book immediately put me at ease since I could relate to a person who had lost everything including his memory of the circumstances. This is the way of the rest of the book. The characters could be from the modern world, but Devorah gives them the persona and depth so that there is no doubt we are in a time long ago. The dialog is dead on and all of the scenes superbly set. Yes there is a dragon but he is no more unrealistic than the factory where swords are crafted. This is an enjoyable and well narrated story. ********** This novel has a terrific story and is well developed. It is a story of travel, greed, happiness, trust, distrust, lust, and love. What makes it different is the medieval setting. I read Coben, Sandford, Child, etc. This was a very interesting book I had trouble putting down. I highly recommend it! ********** If you like a novel where, in your mind, you are side-by-side with the main character, you will like The Lost King. Add in the time medieval time period and it gets more interesting. It is one of those novels that gets better the more you read. You will not figure out where the story is going until well into the book. As result, you can’t put it down. ********** In The Lost King,Devorah Fox holds a fantasy medieval mirror to our world and puts the ‘word’ in sword – to the hilt. The details and dialogue had me hooked from the first “moo”as we learn what the king has lost. What a great story teller. I trust this first novel will not be her last
