Description:
Eight years ago, Lisan the fisherman, who has always believed he was descended from royalty, left his wife and the Water Village. Now he’s back, and he says he can prove it. Six hundred years ago, a forbidden relationship between the royal children of Brunei set into motion a chain of events that will end with the death of a king...or the death of a god. As the story of Lisan’s true intentions – and what he was really doing in those years away – unravels, the story of those doomed royal children also spins to its inevitable conclusion.

The last of a line of kings, a ring that must be destroyed, a creature that guards a treasure and has lain dormant for many years. Yeah, it sounds a wee bit like The Lord of The Rings and a lot like The Hobbit, especially with the side stories of a mythological/historical function. Entertaining, but as a huge Tolkien fan I wasn’t too impressed.
