Juan Antonio Pérez-Foncea (San Sebastian, Spain 1965) currently combines his activities as an author with his legal practice.

As a lawyer specialising in European and International Law (Universities of Louvain and Liège), he has lived in several countries in Europe.

His stories reflect his three great passions: nature, history and philology, the elements which form the basis of each of his works.

The first of the books in the saga, The Forest of the Taurocs, has just been translated into English.

Many are the difficulties which he must face in order to defeat the shadows of the forest.

A new mission, unknown lands, invasions which may have profound effects for the Aldenoric world… A brave fight on the battle field and in the hearts of men, the strength of friendship and the heroism of a few will lead to a purely epic outcome, surprising the reader on several levels ...
