Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and The Chronicles of Narnia, The Red Sun is the first in the award-winning fantasy series Legends of Orkney™ by Alane Adams. Sam Baron's life turns upside down when a strange dwarf named Rego arrives at his Oregon home and claims he is from a magical realm called Orkney. When his friends are taken prisoner, Sam embarks on a journey to Orkney through a stonefire to rescue them. Drawing on Norse mythology, The Red Sun follows Sam's journey to uncover the truth about his past. To save his friends and Orkney, Sam will have to overcome the simmering anger inside of him; channel his growing magical powers; and find a way to forgive the father who left him behind. The second book in the series, Kalifus Rising, is publishing September 2016. Learn more about the book series at www.legendsoforkney.com.
Mix engineer Wouter Van Herwerden recorded the audiobook at Margarita Mix Hollywood. It was directed by Alane Adams, with editing and post-production completed by Ryan Coursey.
