Though I believe that one of the pictures you've used is from the Sword of Truth book series by Terry Goodkind. The only reason I recognize it is because I read the first three and paid some attention to new books. Thank you for noting the origin of that image! Does the book take place on either Earth or "Fantasy Earth"? Can you provide a brief synopsis, as it might relate to Aerth? It's a nice painting, and, it's good to know that there is a story behind it. Prespos It takes place on its own world. A synopsis can be found here (as it's been a good ten years since I tried reading the series): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Truth |

jamerowe1 : do The Sword of Truth novels involve the Greek Gods? If so, which ones? Not in the first 3. I don't think they would in the later ones based on what I read though. I read somewhere that the series may have been an anti-communist rant; unfortunately I can't remember where I read that. |
