Author, Robert W. Brady is pleased to announce the release of third book in his epic fantasy series, The Fovean Chronicles - "Indomitus Oriens." To say that Randy Morden had an effect on Fovea is an understatement. More than ten years after his arrival, the Fovean High Council is in a shambles, the supremacy of the Uman-Chi is a memory, and Eldador is an Empire, not a kingdom. An Uman-Chi girl finds herself with a song to sing, a song which is a gift from the goddess Eveave. When she sings it, another call will come to Earth, a new call for two new champions, a young girl and an old man, for the world where magic is used like technology, and technology is just starting to appear. Now War is about to rage across Fovea, and the greedy Eldadorian government is at the center of it. These two champions from Earth have a decision to make - one not so easy as they might think: Which side are they on? Travel with Bill and Melissa in the footsteps of the Conqueror and the shadow of the Wolf, and ask yourself: how do you fight the invincible warrior, especially considering that your failure is already foretold? Book one, "Indomitus Est" (ISBN:978-0979367908) was released in March 2012 and book two, "Indomitus Vivat" (ISBN: 978-0979367960) was released in August 2012.
