The Yusan Chronicles 1 - The Legacy and the Lion

A primitive future. An epic adventure. Three hundred years from now horses ply the roads and the Ancients are feared and despised. Bred as a soldier and born in a colony of scientists, the death of his family leaves Patrick Bell belonging nowhere. He follows a map from his ancestor to the distant kingdom of Yusay, only to find that ancestor is not just remembered, he is worshipped. Patrick wins the powerful post of Master of Guards, but he is far from safe. He must navigate a new society, where political and personal enemies abound. When Patrick is implicated in a plot to murder the king, his life is on the line . . . The Legacy and the Lion is the first book in a science-based, very human future saga. If you like multiple evolving characters, intriguing adventure, and losing yourself in a primitive new society, you’ll love this first book in The Yusan Chronicles series. * * * This second edition has been restructured, replacing Chapters with Parts and Character Headings, for enhanced readability.
