Tales of Lentari

The fantasy kingdom of Lentari (introduced in Jeffrey Poole's Bakkian Chronicles series) comes to life once again, in this acclaimed series.Lukas, a young dwarf, narrowly averts tragedy while attending a class by the master craftsman Maelnar, falling into the forge's fire. Amazingly, he comes away from the near miss with only a mark on his back. The mark is not quite a burn. But it is disfiguring and embarrassing to the family, and it's not fading away, so his father, Venk, takes young Lukas to consult the most respected wizard in the kingdom. They learn this mysterious mark is part of a Questor's Mark, a sort of roadmap to an adventure that had long been the dream of many-to find the Lost City of Nar.Tales abound about the riches of Nar and the unsurpassed skills of that dwarven community, but no one has been there and no Narians seem to have survived. What happened? And how will Venk and the search party find the series of additional clues in order to complete the map? For completing the quest is the only way young Lukas will be free of the awful mark, and the only way his people will learn the answers to the age-old questions.Lost City has been newly edited and re-released!* * *Praise for Jeffrey Poole's epic fantasy novels:"I loved this book.

The peaceful kingdom of Lentari is rocked by the disappearances of several citizens, and when the latest-a young girl-vanishes, the king dispatches his top aides to find out what's happening. Piecing together the clues, they ride to a lush forest near the seaside town of Capily where they come across an odd disturbance in the undergrowth. A few tests, and it's evident the anomaly is a portal of some sort, and the consensus is that they will need the strongest teleporter known to the kingdom in order to solve the mystery of where the portal leads and how it has taken the missing villagers. The only teleporter with this much power is Lady Sarah, the human with the needed jhorun to possibly save them.Sarah and her husband Steve transport to Lentari from their home in America, and as she is studying the odd new portal the unthinkable happens. Lady Sarah is pulled into the portal and vanishes! Steve is frantic, and although he has no idea where she has gone or how he will find her, he jumps through the portal to save his cherished wife. What happens next defies all the known laws of how portals work, as this one sends them to another world-and in another time!Will they find any trace of the missing villagers? And more importantly, will they find each other?Newly edited and re-released!* * *Praise for Jeffrey Poole's epic fantasy novels:"I loved this book. It had so much imagination to it.

The villages of Lentari are in big trouble. Dragons have swooped in, inexplicably blasting homes and businesses with fire, nearly burning the town of Verdayn to the ground. No one knows what is behind the attacks-the dragons and humans have been allies for a long time. Suspicions point to an outside force. Something or someone has bewitched the dragons into committing the heinous acts. King Kri'Entu doesn't quite know where to turn for answers. Until his son volunteers to lead the investigation.Crown Prince Mikal is now a young man, bored with court life and wanting to take an active part in his father's work. He convinces the king to allow him to travel to Verdayn to find out what happened. His first stop is to speak with the town constable, and Mikal finds himself suddenly enchanted with the constable's pretty daughter, Lissa. Forcing himself to keep his mind on business, he takes the villagers' statements and is quickly off to the site of yet another dragon attack. All of this seems to be leading in one direction. There's a rogue wizard on the loose, and Mikal is stunned to learn the talented conjurer is close to his own age. How did one so young learn the skills to create more complex spells than the elder wizards, and to control creatures as mighty as dragons? And why is he doing this?The quest to find the wizard and to stop the attacks takes Mikal and Lissa, with help from the young dragon, Pravara, into dangerous waters indeed.Newly edited and re-released!* * *Praise for Jeffrey Poole's epic fantasy novels:"I loved this book.
