Magic is dying. The mad king is scheming. And by week's end, he plans something unspeakably dreadful with all the gold he's hoarded.
Unfortunately for the king, there's a one-armed orphan with no name who has other plans-plans involving mythical swords, daring quests, and tricks even the most cunning rulers won't see coming.
Raised in the deadly Ash Forest, the boy has survived man-eating plants, giant spiders, and worse. But when the only person who ever cared for him is sentenced to be dropped into the king's crocodile moat, survival turns into a race against time-and a fight for magic itself.
To stop the king, he must find the fabled sword said to join the land by splitting it, a weapon whose prophecy twists every expectation. Its power could restore magic... or destroy the world. Only the boy with nothing can face the king with everything.
Joined by a mysterious girl with a dangerous secret, a loyal giant wolf, and a wooden puppet that refuses to behave, the boy with no name will learn that even the smallest heroes can awaken the greatest magic.
The Ash Forest (and the King's Gold) weaves epic stakes with playful twists, offering danger and laughter in equal measure. Combining Arthurian-inspired fantasy with Norse mythology, this humorous adventure captures the spirit of a true hero's journey. Perfect for middle-grade readers ages 8-13-and adults who love timeless quest stories-this wholesome debut features a strong female character, a brave boy with a limb difference, and unforgettable companions.
Through exhilarating sword fights, encounters with witches, and the enchantment of a magical kingdom, readers discover the enduring power of found family. Perfect for readers who enjoy the humor of The Princess Bride, the heart of Percy Jackson, and the timeless magic of The Lord of the Rings, this newly released Kindle fantasy delivers a wholesome quest set in a perilous yet beautiful forest-complete with an uplifting, happy ending.
Step into a world where magic, courage, and friendship await. Available in ebook, paperback, and audiobook editions.
