Shadow Maze

Shadow Maze by Jonathan Wylie. On what should have been a day of celebration, the day marking their transition from boys to men. Varo and Brostek's lives were changed for ever. Their village was destroyed by the Knifemen of Bari, leaving them homeless, orphaned and alone.

Fellowship of the Ring

Fellowship of the Ring Book I: The Ring Sets Out. The first chapter in the book begins in a light vein, following the tone of The Hobbit. Bilbo Baggins celebrates his 111th (or eleventy-first, as it is called in Hobbiton) birthday on the same day, September 22, that his relative and adopted heir Frodo Baggins celebrates his coming of age at 33. At the birthday party, Bilbo departs from the Shire, the land of the Hobbits, for what he calls a permanent holiday. He leaves Frodo his remaining...

Ancient Appetites

Nate Wilderstern's brother has been killed, and the finger is pointed at him . . . After nearly two years, eighteen-year-old Nate returns home to the family empire ruled by his father - the ruthless Wildenstern Patriarch. But Nate's life is soon shattered by his brother's death, and the Rules of Ascension, allowing the assassination of one male family member by another, means he's being blamed. He knows that he is not the murderer, but who is? With the aid of his...

Threads of Magic

Threads of Magic. There is unrest as harsh times fall upon Elundium. However there is still hope, for magic is returning to battle the Company of Murderers in their attempt to dethrone Thane and return the Chancellors to Power.

On craggy slopes above the cliffs, nests of untidy timber house the Natural dragons - with no fire or magic. Nearby live the Charmed dragons, whose magic guards the fortress. But no magic is strong enough to resist the onset of a new era as the world changes.

The Shining Falcon

The Shining Falcon. Storm-torn and ragged, the shining falcon falls to earth plummeting into a vast and dangerous woodland inhabited by magical beings as old as the world. Now the life of Finist, shape-shifting Prince of Kirtesk, rests in the healing hands of Maria, the noble daughter of a betrayed lord, exiled to the anonymity of the forest. While far away in the vacated court, a beautiful enchantress plots the ulitmate treachery.

The Elder Gods

They are called the Dreamers. They look like sleeping children. They are, in fact, Gods. There are eight elder Gods, four awake, four asleep, by turns. When they sleep, they sleep for eons. The only time the Gods are vulnerable is when the sleepers awake. Knowing this, the Ruler of the Wasteland, ambitious to become a God by destroying Gods, watches and waits, marshalling troops for war. So it is that the coming of the Dreamers passes unnoticed in the Wasteland. But the world is soon out of...
