Description
Once upon a time in the beleaguered land of Lothria… A princess under a magical aura, her absent-minded sorcerer grandfather; a conflicted warrior prince; a young ne’er-do-well who finds an unlikely friend while on an impossible quest; an imprisoned queen, her betrayed king, their enchanted son and his beautiful enchantress; half-human man-eating rebel slaves; a band of blood-thirsty assassins…and Tachlanad, the legendary Sword of Names, missing for generations…
When the queen receives an omen, it can mean only one thing: the fate of all she loves hangs in the balance. The land and its people will topple into chaos if a tenuous alliance cannot be preserved. Her husband misled by sinister forces, her son gone missing, she sends her daughter and father on a journey far to the west to reach the impregnable stronghold of “the True King in Hiding.” There they will seal the truce with her marriage to the old king’s unwilling son and unite against the evil power that seeks to subjugate them. Unless the Imperon has his way.
An epic fantasy adventure for young adult and adult readers, The Return of Tachlanad is the first book in the “Sword of Names” series.

A Note From the Publisher
As a child Kathy wanted to be a writer when she grew up. She also wanted to act. After receiving an MFA in Acting and playing the part of starving young artist in New York, she taught theater classes at a small college in the Mid-West before returning home to the East Coast, where over the years, she and her husband raised two kids and an assortment of dogs.
Claiming her best ideas are born of dreams, Kathy has written a number of stories over the years. Her first published novel, Winter Fire, a 1998 Golden Heart finalist in historical romance, was reissued in 2010 by Books We Love, Ltd.
When not writing, she enjoys reading, cooking, photography, playing "ball" with the dogs, and rooting on her favorite sports teams.

Advance Praise
"A quest is a quest, after all, and in The Return of Tachlanad we learn of warring royal families (like Game of Thrones) with a host of colorful characters, some loveable, some loathsome, engaged in a world-engulfing conflict between Good and Evil. The “unique” is present, too, initially in the many characters, who are every bit as charming, fey, heroic and/or otherworldly, as any in Tolkien. “Unique” also describes the poetic world K. Fischer-Brown has created, so alive and breathing, but exactly what I’d expect from having enjoyed her historical novels. From the very first page, where a noble, ESPer Queen watches her husband’s ships sail away into sunset ~ and into a peril she has long foreseen ~ I was sucked in." -- Juliet Waldron
