Chat with local author Robert A. Walker

Baelon... A world turned upside down, where nothing's as it seems, and everything's at risk.

The skilled thieves of the Takers Guild plot to overthrow the kingdoms of Baelon, but when their plans are thwarted by a prescient woman and her brooding daughter, they must turn to the League of Assassins for assistance. Meanwhile, retired royal guard Rolft Aerns returns to the palace of King Axil with an old score to settle. When they all cross paths and swords in the dark shadows of Fostead’s south end, nothing is as it seems and the murder count rises quickly.

The long fingers of the Guild reach everywhere, and one overly ambitious thief is all it takes to spark a chain of events that will haunt the world of Baelon for many years to come.

This is a tale of good vs. evil, with an ensemble cast of complex characters all struggling to control their world. A dash of grim dark, a bit of mystery, and a pinch of romance color the realms of Baelon, where loyalty and treachery live under the same roof; where friendships are formed and tested, true love is made to wait, and dangerous secrets are held close to allegiant hearts.

Robert A. Walker grew up in Northwestern Massachusetts. After graduating college, he packed his scant belongings in a car with rusted-out floorboards and headed west, where he began a decades-long career in local government (including twenty-seven years with the City of Sunnyvale). He’s lived in California ever since, and now resides along the Pacific Ocean with his wife and dogs, where he writes fantasy novels with hints of grim dark and romance.

His debut novel, Six Moons, Seven Gods, received several honors, including The Chrysalis BREW Project’s Readers’ Choice Award for June, 2024; Chick Lit Cafe’s Book Excellence Award for Best Medieval Fantasy, November, 2023; a Literary Titan Gold Book Award in December, 2023, and a Readers’ Favorite Bronze Award in 2024. When not fabricating stories, he can be found roaming local tennis courts or working on a never-ending list of DIY house projects.
