Author Terry Lee Martin offers this take:

“Heirs” is an epic fantasy set in the late-Medieval/Renaissance-era world of Dumhoni, a century after the abdication of the last Anterianhi emperor. The tale centers on young adult twin brother and sister, Kodi and Lyndz Fothemry of the Kingdom of Solanto. Called by the cosmic defender and Taxiarch, Meical, Guardian of the world of Dumhoni, the twins must discover their courage, wisdom, and magic in order to someday face the wicked Khans of the Khestadone. Other major characters are introduced from the three races, Humans, giant-winged Etoppsi, and reclusive, magical Qeteral, and deep friendships are developed. The reader will find moral and spiritual growth, male camaraderie, female camaraderie, male and female heroes (young and old), humor, romance, religious and philosophical themes, symbolism, magic evil and good, dragons and other mythical creatures, gods and goddesses, battles, adventure, exotic and beautiful places and places of fear and darkness. I tend to focus on character development with certain psychological growth themes, along with deep friendships. These are persons (and also a hero dog!) that the reader is meant to fall in love with, laugh and cry with, and root for. In my opinion, much modern-day fantasy focuses on darkness, horror, and often lacks redemptive themes. “Heirs” contains strong elements of love and redemption, even in times of darkness and tragedy.

This is ‘adult epic fantasy.’ Less obvious in Book 1, as the series advances, romances are developed, and the sex and lovemaking can be descriptive with mature wording.

All readers—male, female, young and old, white and people of color, liberal, conservative, religious and skeptic, traditional and progressive—will find much they enjoy and value in my story. Follow my blog on this website and find my updates here and on Facebook.
