No one can escape their destiny in a world controlled by the Fates. Ancient prophecies are the means by which the gods maintain order. Whether pauper or king, each life becomes a pawn in a dangerous game of control, where moving pieces determines the course of all living beings. The Blood King’s sudden death in the night triggers a foreboding prophecy of dark times, as it is foretold that his unknown Heir would awaken to the dark magic of his blood and enslave the Eleven Kingdoms. Soldiers bring destruction to the countryside seeking the Heir Of The Blood King.

Adam escapes the fires of the peaceful village of Riverside in the night when the soldiers laid waste to his adopted home. With his fate uncertain, the unskilled orphan must fight for his freedom against dangerous enemies who give pursuit as he searches for the answers to his past. Adam is also faced with the challenges of survival against the untamed wilderness and its dark denizens as he tries to avoid a destiny he does not want.

“The Heir Of The Blood King will rise, this has been divined.” - Ancient prophecy of the Seering Council.

“Heir Of The Blood King” is the first installment of the ongoing, action-packed, Young Adult fantasy, survival series, Adventures of Adam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Young and Old will enjoy this Adventure!

Heir of the Blood King was a great read, especially for a debut novel. I was totally impressed with Mr. Cassity's ability as a storyteller. The book is well suited for pre-teen/teen readers but also holds an adult entranced as well. I see a faint kinship to the Lord of the Rings, but only because it is a group working together against evil, and that Cassity has woven such a glorious tale.
You are pulled into the struggles of Adam from the get-go. Soon you meet Talia and Donadier and the three, albeit grudgingly at first, travel together while trying to understand what is happening in their world.
The story tells of overcoming fear, rejection, peer pressure, and pretty much any other 'teen' type frustration, but not in a way that hits you over the head as a lesson.
I truly enjoyed this first offering from W.O. Cassity and look forward to the next installment.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great but short start to a good fantasy series with a heir, a prophecy and destiny - all elements which capture the reader.
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2015

The first thing which caught my attention was the book cover. I will admit that unashamedly and then the blurb pulled me in with the words - destiny, heir and prophecy. I can never resist a book with those elements.

There is no waiting period for the action to start in this book. I was plunged right into the midst of the chaos and was introduced to the 3 protagonists, Adam, Talia and Donadeir and the precarious situations they are in. Then on, the reader follows their journey from their village and their struggles to stay safe.

The story was too short, in my opinion. It felt incomplete though it was intense with the fight sequences. The narration was easy to follow with vivid imagery which allowed me to read it in one sitting. The views from all the 3 main characters added to the complexity with the revelation of their emotions and feelings. This is one story I feel which does well with no supporting characters. The pace of the tale was fast while the world building was good but short as far as it was shown. I am hoping to know more about their world in the next books.

The start does well with immersing us in the plot while the ending feels like a very big cliff hanger because the book is over even before the story is atleast quarter way through. That's the only negative I can point out.

I would heartily recommend this book to fantasy lovers with a penchant for sword and sorcery tales.

My rating : 4/5

My reread factor : 4/5

5.0 out of 5 stars A New World! A New Adventure!
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2015

After reading the reviews, I was hesitant to buy this, but I read a sample and was entranced! The characters were easy to remember, Adam the River Rat, Talia the Warrior, and Dona the fat baker's son. I think the book was well written (yes I found errors, but I do with the best of writers) and the writer was right there in the struggle with his main characters. He plotted each scene out, step by step. I would definitely recommend this to people! (and will!)

Unlike other authors (ahem Suzanne Collins and Veronica Roth) Cassity actually can create suspense and a new world without writing ONLY in the present tense. I am anxious to see what the next book will bring!!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2015

I had a really hard time getting into "Heir of the Blood King." I am glad I got it for free as I would have been irritated had I purchased it. It is written about 13 and 14 year olds, but the language is a little mature for that age group, page after page is narrative, down to the smallest detail at times. I think skimmed a lot at the end and it never got better. As much as I hate to leave a less than stellar review... two+ stars, somewhere between "I don't like it" and "OK".

Even though there were a few errors in the first book that the editor didn't catch, I enjoyed this book a great deal. I understand those typos and such are now corrected in the book listed on Amazon. The adventure moves quickly, there is plenty of suspense, and the author seemed to have a good grasp of the warfare techniques. I am eagerly waiting for Book 2 to be on the market. If you like adventure with some fantasy mixed in THIS IS THAT BOOK to read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for kids
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2016

This children's epic fantasy creates a complex world with interesting characters. Kids with a penchant for magic, monsters, wilderness survival, and swordfights should enjoy this first book in the series. I sometimes found the dialogue to be a little too on the nose, violating the “show, don't tell” rule a bit too much for my taste. I haven't read a lot of children's literature lately, so maybe this is a genre issue. I also noticed a few misused words. All in all, however, I think for kids who’ve recently started reading chapter books on their own, it would be an enjoyable read.

My ten-year-old son read this book and absolutely loved it. He loved the characters and especially the action. He read very quickly, fighting me to put the Kindle away at bedtime. He will definitely be reading the rest of this series.
