The Duke of Sumava by Sara J.Wrench starts a little like Indiana Jones -at full speed! It is a fantasy, but not quite like the traditional story of questing hero battles evil and wins a maiden fair in the land of Fairy. This takes place in the all too real 30-year war that raged in Europe in the 17:th century -a time when meddling with anything outside the beliefs of the catholic church was likely to get you killed -if you were lucky! The Duke of Sumava has to deal not only with impending invasion as well as with the prejudice of both men and elves. He must also struggle with his own beliefs and convictions to finally decide what his Sumava is worth: His love? His life? His soul? Don't miss this new author who has managed to bring fantasy to a new level.

The Duke of Sumava is a story about a man, Duke Ottokar, willing to sacrifice his all to protect his people. For their sakes will he sell his soul and risk eternal damnation? Will his love of a woman of the race of legend turn every heart against him? And when he thinks his problems couldn't get worst he discovers a secret about himself that could get him burn at the stake. This story will leave you rooting for the underdog. It's a must read for fantasy lover.*****
