“A deep and intriguing magic brings a fresh feel to fantasy in
this visually stunning journey. Jason King weaves powerful stories that
grip the reader to the last word with a perfect blend of amazement,
fear, love, and destiny. Anybody drawn to dangerous adventure won’t be
able to resist The Lure of Fools. It’s Lloyd Alexander for a new
millennium.” – James Wymore, author of Theocracide.
Need I say more? I mean, really. And no, I'm not being biased because James Wymore is amazing and you should all be jealous that he mentored me for the Haunted Writing Clinic and Contest last year.

“Adventure is the lure
of fools, and excitement glamour to the gullible. The siren song of the
world is as music to the wanderer’s feet, but that dance leads only to
the soul-less grave.”
So Jekaran’s uncle has warned him. But
that doesn’t stop him from leaping at the exhilarating chance to
single-handedly rescue a beautiful woman from a gang of lecherous
thieves.
But the bored farm boy quickly finds that he is no match
for the group of angry street thugs, and only escapes death by bonding a
magical sword that grants him the strength and skill of a master
swordsman. Unfortunately, a peasant wielding such magic is forbidden
and punishable by death.
Thus Jekaran finds himself a fugitive
with his fate tied to that of the exotic and mysterious, Kairah; a fey
woman who must deliver a dire warning to the king that, if heeded, could
prevent the very extinction of humanity.
Jason King wishes he was
raised on a desert planet by his aunt and uncle and watched over by a
mysterious old recluse, but his life is much duller than that. He
supposes that’s why he started making up stories. Born in Salt Lake City
Utah, Jason grew up on a steady diet of anime, science fiction,
Dungeons and Dragons, JRPG’s, and chocolate cake donuts. He pretended
not to be a nerd just long enough to get married and start a family. And
although dismayed by the revelation that Jason was a geek, his wife
stuck with him and they are now the proud parents of four beautiful
children. Jason holds a bachelor’s degree in I.T. Management and is
currently the Internet Marketing Manager for a local bookstore chain,
but he is determined to one day quit his “9 to 5” and write full-time.
Jason has two indie books; “Valcoria Children of the Crystal Star” and
“Thomas Destiny,” but “The Lure of Fools” is his first published novel.
“Adventure is the lure
of fools, and excitement glamour to the gullible. The siren song of the
world is as music to the wanderer’s feet, but that dance leads only to
the soul-less grave.”
