Intricately plotted, with compelling characters, The Fifth Ring by Mitchell Graham is the first volume in an epic fantasy trilogy that tells of a young man's survival against insurmountable odds. Despite a massive defeat decades ago, Karas Duren, Lord of Alor Sator, is again attempting to conquer the neighbouring kingdoms and bring them under one rule - his own. Now the evil ruler holds a weapon of mass destruction: a single ring left over from the Ancients that will allow him to control people and destroy everything and anyone who chooses to oppose him - including his own brother. In a small village, a young boy wins a ring in a fencing tournament. Born and raised on a small farm, Mathew has little contact with the outside world, until the day his father is murdered in front of his eyes. Mat kills the murderer in revenge and must run for his life. Joining him is a mysterious priest, a few friends, and his love, Lara. During his flight Mathew discovers unusual powers in the ring, powers that make him one of the most potent men on the planet - and bring him to Duren's attention...A story of courage, love, and valour, this is epic fantasy at its best.

The Evil Overlord (Karas Duren) finds some magical rings that will enable him to conquer the world. One of the rings is stolen and ends up in the hands of The Boy With A Destiny (Mathew Lewin). He is Forced to go on the run after he faces murder charges for Avenging His Father's Death. This also enables him to escape from the Evil Monsters (Orlocks) that are searching for the Ring. He is joined by several Friends including The Wise Mentor (Father Thomas), The Spunky Love Interest (Lara Palmer), and The Wise-Cracking Sidekick (Collin Miller). Eventually the party intersect with the Great Battling Armies and somehow defeat The Evil Overlord and bring peace to the world. But for how long? (There's a whole trilogy.)
While it sounds like the 2nd and 3rd volumes may be better than this, I probably won't be looking for them. This book was just too generic for me to want to do so. ( )
