I will tell you things that seem impossible and highly improbable. But remember that we live in a world where everything is decided by what we can see and what we touch. If we can't see it or we don't understand it, then we perceive that it doesn't exist. But it does exist, and what may seem impossible here, is in fact highly probable in another world.'What readers are saying:S.E. Turner has built an amazing world with her series "The Kingdom of Durundal", and this book didn't fail to disappoint. A Moth in the Flames captivated me from the beginning - when one of the first sentences states the dragons were watching Cornelius, how could it not!?Cornelius is met by a beautiful human like being, who offers him a deal of sorts. He will help her father a daughter in order to fulfill a prophecy and in return, no man will ever kill him.The daughter, Sansara, is the woman who results and will assist the prophesied child. She is beautiful and gentle, with green eyes and dark hair. She loves the place where she lives with her mother and sisters. When she is sixteen she is sent to live on an island alone to fulfill her destiny. This is where the story unfolds and keeps going, taking us on a magical ride reminiscent of Lewis or Tolkien.I loved this book. The characters are interesting, well written, and magical without being completely over the top. They can be related to. The world itself comes complete with a map so we don't get lost, discombobulated or lose interest, particularly when the creatures, the adventures and the interaction is so marvellous.So order this book today, and then order the whole series for the entire family and read it for a magical experience together! The Book Dragon. ★★★★★★★★★★ The series continues with Sorceress of the Sapphire ★★★★★

From the Inside Flap

S E Turner is a life-long enthusiast of epic fantasy that borders on the believable. With an abundance of historical research weaved through the pages, this promises to be an engaging and immersive experience.'The Kingdom of Durundal series is far more than the single genre of fantasy. Rather, it blends into a prestigious crossroads where fantasy meets reality, and the surreal meets the sublime. I wanted to write a series that everyone could read, and I'm happy to provide an exciting, epic story that a wide variety of ages will enjoy.'

Power is a grotesque poison - it seeps into men's hearts and turns them into monsters.
