Introduction

Prince Malu and The Red Sands of Armapour is a magical fantasy/adventure story set in the middle East more than a thousand years ago when magic was still in the air. It begins with a tragedy on Prince Malu's twentieth birthday. His father's enemies in an attack on Armapour murder his parents the King and Queen of Armapour before his eyes. Prince Malu flees for his life and this becomes the starting point for a series of challenges in a coming-of-age story. The story has magic, romance, suspense and adventure as Prince Malu strives to acquire the knowledge and experience that might enable him to avenge his parents' death and regain the throne of Armapour.
