Children of Rhatlan by Jonathan Fesmire
Fantasy
Click the arrow below to listen to the first episode of this free audio book:
Garum and Vayin are "duals," twins trapped in each other's minds and bodies, sharing one life. When a deranged wizard hunts them, whom can they turn to? Their mentor? The city guard Vayin loves? The Wizards' Guild? In a world that hates duals, anyone could be their enemy, and one misstep could get them killed.
"Children of Rhatlan is a unique romp through an original world that not only entertained me, but made me think as well. I can think of no higher praise for a fantasy novel."
-Steve Lazarowitz, author of Alaric Swifthand
"There were enough twists and turns to keep me riveted until the last lines. Children of Rhatlan is a winner!" -Jonathan Lambert, Millennium Science Fiction and Fantasy
"Magic, treachery, valor, prejudice-Fesmire builds a world sword and sorcery fans will welcome and adventure fans will want to explore fully."
-Lisa DuMond, SF Site and MEviews

Chapters
| Title | Description | Date Created |
| Chapter 1: Impulse To Steal (7.28 MB) | Is this a well earned day on the town, or more trouble than the duals could want? AUTHOR'S NOTES: Meet Garum and Vayin, the original "Children of Rhatlan." I came up with the idea for duals in 1994 when I began to really focus on being a professional writer, under the instruction of Lee Killough. The first story was simply called "Duals," and it featured Garum and Vayin many years later. After writing "Children of Rhatlan," however, I will likely ascribe the two early stories about them to an alternate future. The truth is, I don't know where the young duals' adventures will take them and I want to leave their future open. | Oct 4, 2006 |
