The Sovereign of the Seven Isles is David A. Wells’ flagship series, running seven books from 2011 to 2014. Thinblade introduces Alexander, a young man who discovers he is the heir to a powerful line of rulers and must claim a legendary weapon to defend his people. Sovereign Stone, Mindbender, Blood of the Earth, Cursed Bones, Linkershim, and Reishi Adept continue his journey as the stakes escalate across all seven island kingdoms.
The series has the classic structure of epic fantasy: a reluctant hero, a world-spanning threat, magical artifacts, and a quest that grows in scope with each book. Wells published the entire series in just three years, which means readers can go through the complete story without gaps. The self-published series found a large audience among fantasy readers looking for a traditional epic with fast pacing.
