Set over 4,000 years in the future and in a distant galaxy, The Four Kingdoms is an action-packed adventure that reinvents the dynamic of the fantasy/SciFi genre.
Shaido Flanvel is a classical antihero: raised as the youngest son of an arrogant dictator, he rose through the ranks of the military, manipulating political processes -- and everyone around him -- to become the Emperor of Griffin, one of the Four Kingdoms of Zalfos. From fighting and winning a great and intragalactic war to battling malevolent forces at home, his achievements are all but legendary. Now, as he nears his 200th birthday, he must again use everything at his disposal -- his military, his eloquence, his family and friends, and his unique and powerful brand of magic -- to defeat the greatest evil the universe has ever known.
