In "Seal of the King," two predestined lovers (David and Aurora) come together for the battle of their lifetimes. David is a farmer and Aurora is a warrior, so at first glance one would not think that they would make a likely couple, however Ralph Smith's skillful writing puts these two together in such a way that readers will agree that there cannot be any other match for them.This appears to be Mr. Smith's debut (judging from no other available titles on Amazon yet....I want to read more! :-)) and it's world class. David and Aurora were well-crafted and the whole cast of supporting characters were entertaining and equally well thought out. Oftentimes fantasy novels can be a bit rough and stop-and-go, however this story flowed gracefully from start to finish.This book spans several genres, from fantasy to thriller to romance with a Christian element. There's something for everyone in "Seal of the King." From the first page, the reader will be pulled into Mr. Smith's detailed and imaginative world. This novel would definitely make a great movie and I hope a sequel will be out sooner rather than later!! Well done, Ralph Smith!
