In The Tale of Thorne, Ryan Tannen weaves a story of heroism and bold self-sacrifice in a battle of good and evil.

Thorne, an unwanted orphan, discovers that an ancient prophecy has destined him to be the hero who can save his land from an ever-growing threat of darkness. This threat manifests itself as Halghoul, a servant of the evil King of Darkness. Halghoul is determined to reunite five ancient spirits, which will ensure the King of Darkness’ return.

Alongside an unlikely band of friends and rebels, Thorne must fight to save his world from the evil forces that would destroy it. Along the way, he may just discover the value of unbreakable friendships and what it means to be a true hero.

About the Author

The idea of a story hit Ryan Tannen out of nowhere. His fantasy world of conflict was inspired by how our world values facts over philosophy. Additional inspiration came from J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Writing gave Tannen a better idea of who he is, as well as his own religious beliefs. He is excited for his readers to lose themselves in a world of adventure as they confront evil forces alongside his hero, Thorne. He looks forward to relaying many more of Thorne’s adventures in books to come.
