Ethan Risso Releases Debut Fantasy GAMBIT OF THE GLASS CROWNS

Rookpen Publishing is proud to announce "Gambit of the Glass Crowns," the first installment in The Sundered Kingdoms Trilogy, a memorable foray into the fantasy genre by exciting new writer Ethan Risso.

Now available in physical and ebook formats, "Gambit of the Glass Crowns" is notable for its rich, detailed world in addition to the cast of colorful characters who inhabit the castles and mysterious forests across the sweeping landscape of Dweömer.

The heart of any great fantasy has always been the characters, and "Gambit of the Glass Crowns" is no different.

At the center of the tumult is Connor, the unwitting harbinger to the end of an era and doomed to die before his time. Gawain, the duke's renegade bastard son, and Bronwen, the ambitious young queen, navigate their own ways through the tempest.

These and many others make "Gambit of the Glass Crowns" one of the most enjoyable debuts from a fresh new face this decade.

Always enamored with the romanticism of writing an epic world-encompassing series, the author started writing what would become The Sundered Kingdoms Trilogy in 2009 after nearly a decade of preparation. Today, Ethan continues to explore the realm of the page and has three projects in development: the second and third books of The Sundered Kingdoms Trilogy, due out in Q4 and Q2 of 2013 and '14 respectively, and a standalone fantasy novel, as-yet untitled.
