Her destiny lies within a dream...

The evil one may have ripped apart Angelterra's homeland, murdered her family, and stolen away her carefree life, but he will never crush her determination to drive him out some day.

It is the morn of her nineteenth birthday when Angelterra, princess of Palzintine, finds her peaceful existence shattered by an invading horde. Shutharja, a sorcerer and cleric of the Fallen Spirits, has unleashed a war of plunder upon the kingdoms surrounding the Imperial Sea in his pursuit of ultimate power.

With her beloved homeland captured and her dear parents slaughtered, Angelterra and her personal protector, a lady knight named Jeela, must flee Palzintine. Whilst monstrous beasts and dark agents of the sorcerer hunt for the pair during their desperate flight, the two women try to find a way to reunite with the rest of their countrymen, who are now refugees, huddled in a neighboring kingdom.

Out of the need to survive, Angelterra slowly discovers how to employ the wondrous mysteries surrounding "First Magic", learning what it means to bind with its essence and wield its power.

Meanwhile, during a "Vision Dream", an intense spirit trance, the former princess of Palzintine is given a cryptic message to unravel. She is convinced that this message holds the key to defeating, once and for all, the evil which is Shutharja. And in her quest the find the answer, she comes to realize that she has been chosen to be the next holy "Vessel."

Flight of the Vessel is written in the tradition style of epic fantasy with a bit of a twist.

A gripping, all-action fantasy with monsters, magic & great characters! I loved it! FIVE STARS!

What a great story! ‘Flight of the Vessel’ is an enthralling read; I simply couldn’t put it down! There are so many things I love about this book:

The very first sentence plunges you bang into the centre of the drama when Princess Angelterra and her party are galloping along on horseback, fleeing for their lives. As the chapters unfold, there's just enough backstory provided for you to get a sense of the princess’s world and of the evil power of Shutharja, the mighty sorcerer who is destroying it, before the roller-coaster action sweeps you along with it again.

Grief-stricken though she is at the tragic loss of her parents, teenage Angelterra has to assume the mantle of leader of her people, which she does with endearing courage – the scene where she stands on the castle’s curtain wall, buffeted by storm winds and in visible defiance of the enemy mustering on the beach below, is one of my favourites. (Telling you the others would be spoilers, but you’ll know them when you reach them!) As Angelterra grows into her new role, she discovers a flair for resolving potentially disastrous clashes between her allies, and a hitherto secret magical ability that may prove crucial in her quest to reunite her people and free her homeland from the dominion of Evil. At the same time as all this, though, she still thinks and behaves like a credible, mischievous nineteen-year-old: she feels fear, embarrassment, passion, anger, envy and jealousy. I smiled at the way she teases her childhood sweetheart, Dareldin, and cheered at the graphic gesture she gives in reply to the leering enemy commander, Lord Gravloc’s repulsive threat. Her plucky spirit & realistic flaws soon had me caring deeply about what might befall her as the story progressed.

Angelterra’s brave band of friends and allies, each with their own vital skills to bring to her aid, are lively, engaging and resourceful characters, too: her hot-headed swordswoman, Lady Knight Jeela, and her mysterious magical decoy, Concera, whose motives are so ambiguous, are my favourites amongst them.

Robert Clifton Storey Jr. is a born fantasy writer with a great sense of humour. His world, rich in history and folklore, is underpinned by complex religious and magical systems that are brilliantly innovative and utterly convincing. He has exciting battle scenes, awesome confrontations between good and evil magic wielders, menacing portents and some really cool, monstrous creatures – just wait till you meet the dark magic dragon and the hideous ‘rex verka’!

If you fancy a fast paced, nail-biting fantasy with great characters, a fearsome sorcerer adversary and unforeseen twists and turns along the way that will keep you guessing until the very last page, and beyond, then Flight of the Vessel is the book for you! I thoroughly recommend it.

A Great Adventure

Reviewed in the United States on 11 April 2015

What an enchanting fantasy! Storey weaves a fascinating tale here, featuring important philosophical questions, and delivering them through a fantastic adventure filled with characters you'll fall in love with. Of particular interest to me was how powerfully he painted both Princess Angelterra and her Lady Knight. These are excellent examples of feminine power in full force, yet without losing a certain sense of charm; these are women who embrace power as women, not as women trying to mimic male behavior. They inhabit their strength and power fully, and beautifully. I've already encouraged several of my friends to ensure that they especially get their daughters to read it (though their sons will find it delightful too!), as girls need solid examples of female characters of grace, integrity, and strength these days.

I want to also comment on the use of magic in this book. Rather than delivering a cliched or contrived use of magic that one sees far too often these days, Storey managed to create a story in which magic makes utter sense, it feels as if magic - and even dragons - make total sense there, and as much a natural part of the story as the oxygen his characters breathe. It's a unique use of magic, and not overdone. Impressed with the balance.

I'm definitely looking forward to moving on to books 2 and 3! If you're on the fence about this book, don't be. Buy it, and settle in, because you're going to want to try to read this in one sitting.

Loved this original tale.

This was really a great story with well described people and events. Many surprises along the way, many twist and turns. Loved the magic aspect. This book was so good I couldn't wait to pick it back up! I will have to get the next one to see what happens next. One heck of a cliff hanger! Extremely well written and descriptive in every sense. Any fantasy lover out there must get this series take my word for it!

An epic fantasy with something for everyone.

Reviewed in the United States on 22 August 2014

This fantasy has a religious theme, many feasts, and magic of both varieties. (Light and dark magic)

For a free eBook, this one is well written, and with all the hard names, I was impressed that there were no typos. Those who enjoy a good fantasy would surely enjoy this one, especially if they are into magic, strong and brave women, wizards, and a war between good and evil.
