Here’s the set-up for Dr. John DeFilippis’ The Quest of the Thirteen, just $3.99 on Kindle:

Life in the Kingdom of Mavinor was always lived according to “The Scrolls,” a set of holy documents written by men but believed to be inspired by a deity known as “The Author.”

When the people of Mavinor were attacked by the army of a neighboring kingdom (Xamnon), every copy of The Scrolls was destroyed in the war. Despite countless hours of labor, the task of reproducing them remained far from complete, and their society slowly but surely began to unravel.

King Onestus, childless and very ill, sees his kingdom crumbling before his very eyes but feels helpless to reverse the trend. In his darkest hour, he receives a sign…a breakthrough in The Scrolls achieved by the scribes. Believing it to be authentic, Onestus announces that he will assemble a group of thirteen men to undertake a prophesied quest to return a sacred medallion to the kingdom.

The quest will ultimately decide his successor, the one whom The Author has chosen to rule Mavinor and lead it back to prosperity.

“The Quest of the Thirteen” is the story of how a select group of very different men learn to work together: experienced warriors, a scholar, a rich man, a fisherman, young men aspiring to make something of themselves…all thrown together against nearly impossible odds. They cross rugged terrain, battle mythical creatures, and experience death-defying adventures as their world expands further and further beyond the boundaries they once knew. Despite countless external threats, in the end it is the internal conflict they must master in order to achieve their goal and save Mavinor.

From the reviewers:

There was never a dull moment. I recommend this to any reader.  –  Joseph Geraghty

This was an expertly written story by this debut novelist. The story grabbed me quickly and kept me interested throughout. There are a lot of characters to keep track of, a thought that I was worried about at first, but the author did a masterful job of developing each one of them and that allowed me to keep track of who was who. Plenty of adventure along the lines of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. The story wrapped up neatly, but definitely left the door open for future adventures.  –  J. West

A beautifully written action adventure….the writer allows you to know each character well instantly  –  Denise A.

Great flow, easy read. The author draws you into his world and colorfully lays it out before you. If you are the type of person that likes predictability when reading a story this is not for you.   –  RiddleMeThis
