Ampheus was a disappointment. I think it needs some work.

Synopsis: Jonathan Forth brings us an epic battle of good versus evil in his first fantasy novels for readers aged 12 years and over.

In Jonathan Forth’s Four Realms books, the Dark Lord, Gorath, sets out to bring the Four Realms under his dominion. He and his terrifying horde army, callous horsemen, the Janshai, and beasts from the caverns of Dern from the depths of Gamura, seek the three totems from each of the other realms to give him the power to achieve control.

The proud and noble King of Terramis, and his castle, Ampheus stand in his way. Laying siege to Ampheus, Gorath plans to capture the castle with the help of his spy behind the castle walls.

The book was okay, not my all time favorite. It was difficult to follow at times, there were too many story lines going on & it wasn’t clear-cut on where something began & something else ended. I was so confused at the end because we were in the prince’s dream walk & next thing I know, the author has gone to a different character at the very end.
I think if it was edited & the story line was a bit clearer, it would be a better read.
