'The Captain, the Avaeste and the King is a tale of high adventure. Journey to islands far and wide, to fair beaches, deserts, marshes and winters as our captain and his irregular crew search for the elusive Carex Argentius. Encounter pirates, goblins, wolves, kings, queens, and tyrants, and be caught up in a battle on Meridian as the crew learn more of just what it is they are really searching for, and why their young captain is so determined to find it. The Captain, the Avaeste and the King began as an experiment by the author in curiously styled prose, but the characters called for more, and so it grew into this marvelous epic which is sure to delight readers young and old. It is a tale of redemption and self-sacrifice, courage, love, loyalty, and the battle between good and evil. ' (Publisher's blurb)
