Product Description
Connor’s Folly is the second volume in Robert C Auty’s gripping fantasy quest series Trance Warriors, which began with the epic adventure The Siege of Scarn.
In the aftermath of the bloody siege, Connor – Grynn king – has left behind his friends (but not his enemies), in search of the White Palace, where he will perfect his ‘trancing’ abilities. On his travels, he encounters new peoples and new lands – from a former Askari slave to the brave and fearsome Norsemen, transplanted warriors from mythology who travel the oceans in their dragon boats.
So begins Connor’s new adventure, with battles to overcome and allies to muster, as he is forced to divert from his plan to counter the growing threat of the blood horde. Kaitomi, the blood emperor, has dispatched his equally sinister sister, Maitoma, to the western continent to continue spreading their particular form of evil. With a vampire-like bite she converts all in her path to the legions of the undead.
As Maitoma’s forces grow in strength and ferocity, Connor is forced to call on all his skills to aid his new friends and allies. It is during one of the ensuing battles that Connor is tricked by Maitoma, and in a weakened state, commits his portentous Folly.
‘With his powerful, page-turning second novel, Robert C Auty makes his mark on the fantasy landscape, hailing the arrival of a major new talent in the genre.’

In the aftermath of the horrific bloody siege, Connor sets off in search of
the White Palace, where he seeks to perfect his innate “trancing” abilities. Little does he know, though, his quest will be anything but easy – as the wicked Kaitomi dispatches his sister, Maitoma, to continue spreading their trademark brand of evil throughout the unsuspecting populace. When Connor and Maitoma finally cross paths in the heat of battle, she pulls a sinister trick on him that may just cut his valiant efforts tragically short… Picking up right where The Siege Of Scarn left off, Connor’s Folly is every bit as riveting and action-packed as its predecessor. The second installment in the Trance Warriors series, in Connor’s Folly author Robert Auty introduces the reader to a host of new characters and adventures, all of which engage the imagination in a suspense-filled, powerful fantasy tale. Drawing on popular legends and long-fabled folklore, Auty continues to impress with his ability to intermarry real-life action with compelling fantasy, providing die-hard fans of sweeping epic tales with the ultimate in reading satisfaction. A highly recommended morality tale of the essence of good vs. evil, Connor’s Folly is a strong new addition to Auty’s growing opus of instant classics. Highly recommended.

I have listened to my copy of Robert C Auty’s Siege of Scarn so many times I must have almost worn it out! It is my favourite audio book, the story of Connor, who goes from hunted outlaw to mighty hero and gathers round him a disparate group of friends who endure the siege, is epic and absorbing, the detail is there but it never bogs the story down. The voice of Gerard Fletcher is perfect for the audio version, his characterisations of each person – male and female – are amazing, and the whole production is a joy to listen to. I especially like the extra sound effects when Connor enters the trance, and the music at the start at end of each chapter, just little details which make for a fine production. I’ve never really been into sci-fi and sci-fantasy books so was unsure what to expect from this, but having met Rob at an author’s event I wanted to give it a try and I am so glad that I did. I can’t wait to hear the second book in audio format, hopefully with the same reader!
