Where All Roads Lead by Devon Richards

Where All Roads Lead by Devon Richards

Having crossed the kingdoms since the end of the Orc civil war, seeking gold wherever its scent took them, Captain Arnath and his band of treasure raiding scoundrels find themselves in a life-altering predicament. Their latest escapade in pursuit of gold nearly kills them all, leading them to think that perhaps they have aged-out of the adventuring business and perhaps it’s time to move on to another.
They decide upon opening a traveller’s outpost, one unlike any other they’d known. One where adventurers can train for their coming quests, under the experienced eyes of their hosts. Little do they know that under the grounds of the outpost they are refurbishing lies a treasure that carries a destructive ancient curse, one connected to their own past adventures.
Before long, our heroes find that their chosen quiet life has thrust them into the greatest, most harrowing adventure of their entire lives. Filled with lovable characters, romance and plenty of action, “Where All Roads Lead” is about the quest within all our hearts – Finding a place to call home.

Author Bio:

A resident of Toronto, Canada, Devon Richards has lived in many places across Canada throughout his life. Having learned to read at a very young age, Devon soon found in school he had the ability to write, to create stories of his own. Often in grade school and middle school his assigned short stories were read in front of his classes.
By the time he was 20, Devon and a friend wrote and submitted 2 spec scripts to “Star Trek: The Next Generation”. While not accepted by the show, the screenwriting experience opened the doors to a lasting career goal – That of Film and TV writer.
Newly moved to Toronto and completing his first screenplays, Devon thought to give acting a try and began working as a Background Performer in the many productions shot in and around the Toronto area. During the early 2000’s, Devon worked on many prestigious productions under the creative eyes of Carl Franklin, Helen Shaver, Jon Cassar, Joel Silver, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Len Wiseman, Steven Spielberg and Guillermo Del Toro to name but a few. (Watch the series “Flashpoint” and “Rookie Blue” and you’ll see Devon in nearly every episode.)
Over the course of those years, Devon continued to write and eventually scored a couple of screenplay options in Hollywood. He had also been hired by fledgling producers to create tailor-made scripts and edit existing ones. All the while, many story ideas were percolating that he thought perhaps were not suitable for the big or small screen. So, it was decades since his initial academic successes with prose writing that Devon Richards returned to the form.
His first novel, the fantasy-adventure “Where All Roads Lead”, started out as a short story. Like all good concepts, the idea of a typical adventuring party deciding to hang up their swords and go into business tickled the back of his mind for the months that followed, and soon Devon was expanding on the story that was to become the first chapter of the epic novel. Within months the book was completed, and after a brief period of shopping it to traditional agents and publishers, the book was published on Nov 22, 2022. After a brisk period of popularity, Devon soon found that readers were unwilling to review the book. It turned out this was out of kindness, for also it was an act of kindness on Devon’s part that led to the books publication whilst the text was still riddled with errors, errors that should have been taken care of during the formatting phase. The crowning embarrassment of this oversight was that a copy of the errata-ridden text was sent to King Charles as a coronation gift.
Lesson learned, especially when it comes to who not to hire and entrust with your text, Devon himself took the needed time to glean through the entire text, as well as add the short prologue, “The Mage’s Dark Fate” to the beginning of the book to further clarify the details of the character’s past and the origins of the dark forces acting against them. This new edition will be released on October 8th, 2024.
