The Darkweaver Legacy by Mark Robson

[Joel007]

Haven't heard of it, is it similar to the Darkweaver books?

Not really, but they're one of my favourite series. Its about Iron age Britain, Roman invasions, battles, and i guess dreamers count as magicians. The first one follows Breaca of the Eceni tribe through her childhood, and her half brother Bán. As the series goes on, Bán joins the legions, Breaca earns(sp) the nickname of Boudica - meaning "she who brings victory" and is named warrior of Mona (island of Mona is where all the warriors from the tribes go to train). However Bán who becomes Julius Valerius, moves up ranks in the roman army, and tries to repress a revolt from all of the tribes - lead by Breaca. Eventually Valerius is named traitor by both sides and goes into exile. He later redeems himself in the eyes of the Eceni, and fights alongside Breaca in the final battle to rid Iron age Britain from Roman rule.
sorry i'm not great at explaining plot lines

Well, you will get to read something of what Calvyn's up to in Imperial Traitor, so that might stave off some of your craving! After that I'm afraid it's going to be a long wait, as I'm going to be busy writing the Dragon Orb series, which is all new characters.

 

[The Mighty Blaze]

dats good too i cant wait for the new dragon orb series even though i havent finished de imperila ones yet

 

[Piratica]

I wanted to say i really enjoyed your talk last night at the wooton writers group and i know my friend did too!

 

[Mark Robson]

Nice to see you here, Piratica. I hope you'll hang around and join in some of the discussions.

i have just finished reading The Trail Of The Huntress, and thought it was an icredible and praise worthy read. i thoroughly enjoyed the journey of each of charecters! the reason i get such pleasure out of the storytellers, mr. Robson's, books, is the fact that they are all easy reads, all the while captivating as well as entertaining me! the only thing i didint enjoy about the book, was the tragic death of my favourite character Demar, although i was exceptionally pleased with the heroric manor.
in my humble opinion Mr. Robson's books seem to fit snuggly between the likes of Harry Potter and The Lord Of The Rings. i personally prefer the Darkweaver Legacy to both of these.
three cheers to Mark Robson

 

[Joel007]

Three cheers indeed Hope you enjoy all of his books and those still to come!

It's nice to know I'm gaining fans in new countries. I have more news on that front shortly as well.

I'm glad that you are also pointing people at Chronicles. I've very much made this my home online. It's a great site with some super people. I've always felt a part of the community here, even though I haven't been able to get about the site as often, or as much as I'd like.

 

[aleera.1987]

Hi everyone!!!
My name's Aleera and I'm italian.. I read "Imperial Spy" and I must say that's wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!
Reading that one made me want to read also the previous books of "The Darkweaver Legacy", but in Italy they're not published yet!!!
How's that possible???
And another question: reading the beginning of Femke's story, there are some hints about a story that should precede the new Emperor's coronation and Shalidar's escape.. Does that mean that there are other books (already printed) about Femke and Shalidar or that they will be soon printed???

Thanks!

PS: sorry 4 my terrible English..

 

[Mark Robson]

Aleera, welcome to Chronicles.

To answer your question, there were four books in the Darkweaver Legacy, which I self published in England. Imperial Spy was the first book I had published by a major publisher, and so was the first book that overseas publishers really took any notice of. I suspect that Mondadori were not even aware of my other books when they bought the Imperial titles. I know that Imperial Assassin is due to be published there soon, so you will get the continuation of the story, but some of the back story between Shalidar and Femke did happen in the Darkweaver books.

At present I don't think Mondadori have any plans to translate those four books, but if there is enough interest, who knows? Maybe they will buy and translate them sometime in the future. I certainly hope so.

i wondered where ide heard of calvyn before when he was in imperial traitor or what ever the last 1 was called did perdimonn survive the blast..

 

[Mark Robson]

Hello Peter. Welcome to my forum. If you're talking about the blast at the end of Imperial Traitor, Perdimonn was not in the area. The magician in that story was one from the Magicians' Academy in Terilla: Master Jabal. And no, he did not survive. A shame really. He was one of the nicer Masters at the Academy. It won't be the same there without him.

Apart from the music, I thought I'd let you in on another guilty pleasure of mine - Calligraphy/Cartography.

I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel Reeve (the Calligrapher from the Lord of the RIngs Trilogy) and he gave me some much needed tips on the use of the quill.

Well, as a fan of your books, I had to 'merge' the two and created these. Unfortunately the pics aren't that good!

 

[Mark Robson]

I'm beginning to think I should be employing you!

 

[MikeyLegg]

Wow! Brilliant Cartography there, must have taken quite some time and quite some skill!

My job keeps me busy enough - strangely in your old field of work!
But should you have an idea for me to do, then by all means I'll give it a try!
