"With a compelling cast of characters, a clever use of point of view, and a well-crafted plot, Crown of Vengeance will captivate fantasy readers. Stephen Zimmer is a writer whose work I will follow for many years to come. A highly recommended book that won't disappoint.

-D. A. Adams, author of The Brotherhood of Dwarves and Red Sky at Dawn

"Stephen Zimmer's strength is in his ability to make characters come to life, and to make the reader care about them. In CROWN OF VENGEANCE, those characters voice their dissatisfaction about their lives, and their yearning for something different. Soon,they find you should be careful what you wish for. Strong characters, lively dialogue, and a

growing mystery -- hard to put down and definitely recommended."

-H. David Blalock, author of Ascendant

Begin an Epic Journey...

On a night that begins no different from any other, strange mists engulf

Janus Roland, Erika Laesig, Mershad Shahab, and several others going about

their lives in a quiet midwestern town.  When the mist dissipates, they

all find themselves looking up into the bright skies of a new, incredible

world.

Without explanation of why it has happened, or any notion of where they

are, they embark upon a grand adventure within  the fantastical world of

Ave.  Some find themselves in the lands of the Saxan Kingdom, while others

have emerged within the lands of the Onan, one of the tribes in the Five

Realms confederation.

Storms of war loom over both Saxany and the Five Realms, as invasion

forces mass under the inspiration of The Unifier, a mysterious,

captivating figure whose influence has swept across the surface of Ave

ever since His rise to power in the Gallean duchy of Avanor.  It is a war

that will be fought in the skies, upon the seas, on land, and even in

places non-physical in nature.

A majestic, epic fantasy that begins many adventures and journeys across a

diverse and enthralling world, filled with races and creatures both

familiar and new, Crown of Vengeance lights the flame of the Fires in Eden

series, bringing to life a bold, far-ranging, and grand new venture within

the realms of fantasy literature.
