In A SEA OF SHIELDS, Gwendolyn gives birth to her and Thorgrin’s child, amidst powerful omens. With a son born to them, Gwendolyn and Thorgrin’s lives are changed forever, as is the destiny of the Ring. 

Thor has no choice to but to embark to find his mother, to leave his wife and child and venture away from his homeland on a perilous quest that will have the very future of the Ring at stake. Before Thor embarks, he unites with Gwendolyn in the greatest wedding in the history of the MacGils, and he is given the honor he has always dreamed of when he is inducted into the Silver and becomes a Knight. 

Gwendolyn feels a looming danger to the Ring, and furthers her plans to rescue all of her people in the case of a catastrophe. Erec receives news of his father’s illness, and is summoned back home, to the Southern Isles; Alistair joins him on the journey, as their wedding plans are put in motion. Reece, despite himself, falls in love with his cousin, and when Tirus’ sons find out, they set in motion a great treachery. And Romulus, in the Empire, discovers a new form of magic which may just destroy the Shield for good. 

With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A SEA OF SHIELDS is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders. 

All 17 books in THE SORCERER’S RING are now available! And Morgan Rice’s new fantasy series, KINGS AND SORCERERS is also available, beginning with book #1, RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download on Google Play, with over 400 five star reviews!

“A spirited fantasy ….Only the beginning of what promises to be an epic young adult series.” 
--Midwest Book Review (regarding A Quest of Heroes) 

“THE SORCERER’S RING has all the ingredients for an instant success: plots, counterplots, mystery, valiant knights, and blossoming relationships replete with broken hearts, deception and betrayal. It will keep you entertained for hours, and will satisfy all ages. Recommended for the permanent library of all fantasy readers.” 
--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos 

Ratings and reviews

I really wish they would have someone proof read these. The errors are thick throughout. Also I think at lease 100 people have been stabbed in the throat during this series. It gets a little repetitive in phrases overused and situations repeated. But even with those annoyances the book has managed to capture my interest over and over. Great storyline.

Spoiler alert: nothing happens. It feels as if each chapter is being rushed through to reach the next "epic" section. Compared to previous books, no great character developments, little action (and what there is is poorly described), overall very short and no development of central themes and plot points. This, coupled with the authors unimaginative writing, and repetitive plots, makes for very poor reading. Everyone is either a superhuman fighter or a wizard!

The worst book in the series. Clearly the author got lazy (not like the rest of the series is a literary masterpiece) and just pieced together a few half hazard plots to further prolong the series. It's like one never ending loop of the same thing with little to no creativity. Please end the series and end it on a good note in book 11. Sea of Shields is a massive disappointment.
