Welcome to Kensrik, a world vividly imagined by Dylan Madeley, in which his debut fantasy novel The Gift-Knight’s Quest is set. His book
follows the
youngest descendants of two families that
have traditionally been
enemies:
the Kenderleys, who now rule the world’s largest empire, and the Wancyeks,
who have been reduced to common status.
Chandra never asked to rule Kensrik, but fate took a strange
course. Known as a usurper
and sorceress by most and traumatised by
all that has transpired, she is forced to make use of the
few loyal allies she has in order to hold together her restless empire. In an attempt to identify and defeat the conspirators who
inadvertently landed her in power, Chandra
risks putting the lives of many in mortal danger, as well as her own.
Derek is an aimless wanderer
– the
youngest in a lineage that has long fallen from
nobility.
He finds himself summoned
by tradition to serve a family historically considered his bitter
enemy. As
he
journeys down the same path a fateful ancestor once travelled, he struggles with personal demons and begins to reconsider his loyalty to the mission.
Duke Lenn found one true
cause in love and it cost
him
everything.
His legacy
shaped the present in which Chandra and
Derek find themselves. Now their choice will shape the future of Kensrik...
After using Kickstarter to raise the funds to publish his novel, Dylan shares his inspiration for the book. “I’ve always
wanted to be a writer, but even through my undergraduate years I put off writing
a novel. I feel it’s now time to take
the leap!” explains
Dylan.
“Reading this is like having my own portable
time travel machine...
I absolutely love every moment
I spend submerged in this world.” Pelicanfreak book review blog
