In 988 Britain, Merlin visits his former apprentice Kruzurk "Boozer" Makshare for the first time in seven decades, with a boon to stop another former student the powerful Seed of Cerberus. Kruzurk thinks back to when he and the Seed were pupils of the great mage and he caught his peer stealing Merlin's tools. For his efforts Boozer was cursed and Merlin was gone.
Kruzurk knows the quest begins at the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. On the journey he meets Daynin McKinnon, who shows him a rune-covered headstone, which is probably the legendary Blackgloom Bounty that will gain him entrance into the keep, though the lad wants to sell it to replenish his family's dwindling fortune. While Daynin meets clever Sabritha Kilcullen, Kruzurk uses the young man to further his efforts to destroy the Seed. Others join his adventure not realizing how Kruzurk manipulates them as pawns in his efforts to overcome the insurmountable odds and achieve his boon.
This terrific medieval fantasy with its Camelot connection will elate readers for its fast-paced, action-thrilled storyline starring a strong cast. From the opening dream visit of Merlin to the final confrontation and more, the tale never takes a breath, yet the motives of the key players are fully developed, especially Kruzurk's desire and Daynin's struggle between fortune, love and good deeds. Jon F. Baxley adds to the legend of Arthur with this strong medieval Britain fantasy.
Hello Fantasy Readers! I am the author of "The Blackgloom Bounty" and I just wanted to say how pleased I am by the glowing review from Harriet Klausner.
In case you're not familiar with her, Harriet is the #1 ranked reviewer at Amazon.com US, so a 10/10 ranking by her is the Holy Grail of reviews for a new author like me. Publishers Weekly also gave my book a starred review, which, judging from the movie contacts I've received since that review, must be huge in the publishing arena. My thanks to all of you for helping make this success possible. I look forward to visiting your wonderful country and the Scottish locales I used in the book.
G'day, mates! Jon F. Baxley
