HISTORIA15: THE ANCIENT DE R.A. SALVATORE. Robert Anthony Salvatore, nacido en Leominster, Massachusetts el 20 de enero de 1959) es un escritor estadounidense de fantasía y ciencia-ficción conocido por sus famosas novelas de Reinos Olvidados, La guerra de las galaxias y Guerras demoníacas. Es el creador del personaje más famoso y de mayor éxito de todas las series de Reinos Olvidados: Drizzt Do'Urden.

I’m a HUGE fan of R.A. Salvatore’s DemonWars Saga and anything related to it. I still rank the fourth novel, Mortalis among one of the most engaging and emotionally charged novels I’ve ever read. So, it’s understandable that I was pretty darn excited when I saw this on Remy’s Blog.

The new cover art was just released for the latest novel set in the world of Corona. Here’s what Salvatore’s official web site has to say about it:

‘The Ancient cover art has arrived. The Ancient is the first book in the Saga of the First King trilogy. This brand new book, due out in early 2008, takes place in Corona and continues the story of The Highwayman. This is the first book in a new publishing deal that New York Times Best-Selling author signed with TOR books.

For fans not familiar with the Highwayman novel a re-release will be out in paperback this year!

R.A. Salvatore’s prelude to the Demon Wars Sagas The Highwayman is a stimulating ride into the early history of Corona and the vehicle is the creation a new, Drizzt-rivaling hero. Salvatore spins the tragic tale of an Abellican missionary who returns to Honce from the desert land Behr with wonders from the ancient Jhesta Tu monastery. At his side is his wife, a Jhesta Tu mystic. His dreams of uniting the teachings of the Jhesta Tu and “The Church of Blessed Abelle” are broken against the realities of bigotry and the young Abellican Church’s struggle for political favor against the Druid-like Samhaists. But from their doomed union will rise a people’s hero–the Highwayman.’
