Arkadia, The Age of First Bloom (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

Five centuries before Arkadia: A Druid's Tale, the realms stand in precarious balance. Alarwyn, a young Oracle with a mind for law and a heart full of warnings, defends the Veil beside Draven of the Living, charismatic, brilliant, and already listening for a power that answers to no one. When a treacherous revelation gifts Draven the first language of revenants, alliance turns to fracture, and Arkadia's survival rests on choices that cost more than glory.

Eryndor, last of the Dragon Kin able to take human form, declares a binding that can outlast war. In the Diremist Forest, Wood Elf huntress Saoirse endures the first Becoming to reclaim the Bloom of Starlight. At the same time, Halfling war-captain Calithor fights a campaign of impossible odds. Their forbidden bond forges a lineage that will one day carry the ring-mark of consent, the willow-leaf seal that brands the Chosen.

As plague grips the coasts and the Underrealm presses for dominion, Alarwyn leads the defense of the Oracle citadel, facing Draven in the Battle for the Veil. Wounded and cast below, he rises as the first true Lord of the Dead. To close the breach, Eryndor gives up his form and becomes the hinge that seals the realms. Mercy returns to Arkadia, but not without law: the cure will flow, trespass of the dead is forbidden, and only one child each generation will bear the full gift.

This is the birth of the prophecy: love measured against power, sacrifice written into a covenant, and a promise that reaches forward to Athinia, the voice destined to carry the final line. Arkadia: The First Bloom is an epic prequel of discipline, duty, and a future chosen with open eyes.

Autorenporträt

I was born in Canon City, Colorado, to Irish/Scottish parents, grew up in Canon City and Texas, now living in Florida for the last eleven years. My first book, "Arkadia a Druid's Tale," was published on March 1st, 2010. I love to write since I was 14 years of age but never thought myself good enough. When I met a man that encouraged me to fulfill my dreams at the age of 32 and still encourages me to move forward with my new works of art. Now I have the sequel to Arkadia and two others published. I hope you all will enjoy them.

When I'm asked if I write about myself, I have to sit back and try not to laugh. I was told that since my characters carry my pen name that my readers think it is about me.

The truth is, I write under my characters' name since she is the one who is really writing the book. I'm just her instrument of use. The one that allows her to write through me. Now you might think I'm crazy, but I can assure you, I'm just as sane as everyone else. I don't want people to know my real name. Those who do already think I have lost my ever-loving mind.

My family seems to think I should write successful conclusions, where the hero or heroine lives happily ever after. Yet that is not me. I want to write about good/evil, happiness/devastation. I want it where my readers are crying with the characters when they are happy or sad. I want them to want to do murder when the bad guy is out to harm another. I want my readers to cheer when the characters finally have a happy time and things have gone their way.

That is who I am. The kind of writer I want to be. So yes I hide behind my main character. I use her to keep me safe.
