Wizardry: Part 1 by Scott Crabtree (1 Review)    Price verified 10 hours ago

Wizardry: Part 1: an exciting, high-fantasy adventure novel. In a world of mighty magic, mighty weapons, mighty abilities, mighty intelligences - and the even mightier beings that possess them - the eternal struggle between the forces of good and evil tends to be decided by which force has the most... power! Jartan - a young, fifteen-year-old human boy - has just become a paladin. But his recently acquired rank within the noble and powerful paladinhood is one of desperation, and not ability. For an evil wizard of diabolical intelligence and frightening power, along with his demonic son who can transform himself into fantastic creatures of tremendous power and destruction, are planning to unleash a great horror upon the many lands - and Jartan is the only one in a position to stop them. But the boy has nowhere near the maturity, experience, and power for such a daunting and virtually suicidal task. Only an enigmatic wizard with a twisted and troubled past has the knowledge the novice paladin desperately needs. But this sorcerer has his own agenda - and can just as easily kill Jartan, as help him. The unlikely hero must overcome many challenges in his dangerous adventure. An abysmal swamp that is host to nefarious denizens, the village of forest elves, a library of evil knowledge, and the imposing Undead Forest are only a few of the deadly perils encountered during his travels. But these are nothing compared to what lies ahead, for Jartan finds the journey through the foreboding Underworld an absolute hell. It is an odious realm of darkness where lethal barriers, diabolical traps, and powerful creatures await those foolish enough to venture into the infernal depths. The four 'Caverns of Death' the overwhelmed and underpowered teen must pass is only one of the near impossible obstacles he faces, culminating in the lair of the great diamond dragon - and the gods made certain that nothing gets past the dragon.

A Healing Journey : Across the Borders of Time (Shadow Trails Book 1) by Mary Hopkin (3 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

The Earth was here before us and was given to us,... and although nobody would suggest a return to the Stone Age, in today's climate of uncertainty, we need to slow down and look at reality in a different way.~ Pope Francis Shadow Trails: A Journey of Healing Across the Borders of Time In this narrative story -- part pre-historic fiction and part reconstructed memory trails of their own -- the authors take their readers into a writer's creative process as they piece together lives torn apart by personal uncertainty and trauma. Two sets of characters, separated in time by 10,000 years, begin parallel journeys, following ancient trails while struggling to recover from personal trauma. Quiet reflective campfire talks reveal hidden memories of both pain and joy as they discover new pathways towards compassionate healing and recovery. Maggie (the writer) and Carter (the photographer), set out on a pilgrimage, taking to heart the advice of Pope Francis in processing the world through a new lens. As they re-construct scenes and characters of ancient travelers journeying along the same trails and struggling with similar traumas, their journey is enriched, in the same way they imagine their Paleo-ancestors' lives had been, by the relationships they formed -- with fellow travelers, as well as with the world they inhabited. Their journey begins with the questions: • Who were those ancient Stone Age travelers -- the hunters, gatherers, stone artisans, healers, and shamans? • How did they adapt to a changing environment as they left the frozen north in favor of the warmth of the southern prairies and plains? • Did they face the forces of nature, the traumas of life, and joys of survival in ways similar to our own, or did they find better ways? Following a map of archaeological sites and ancient trails, Maggie and Carter set out to find the answers and, along the way, become the authors of two stories -- their own and that of a Paleo-Indian family surviving ...

PICKLED MAGIC: THE GIANT OMNIBUS EDITION by RICHARD J. WATTS (10 Reviews)    Price verified 14 hours ago

If, like me, you adore Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld stories and dearly miss reading new novels in this unique genre then I know you are going to absolutely fall in love with this new and very original series of books. They are perhaps a little naughtier than STP's in places, possibly a shade crazier and with a touch of iron(y) and steel woven into its comedic comfort blanket. They are also my own small tribute to Sir Terry, my personal literary deity: A wizard's apprentice embarks upon a personal quest to set right the wrongs of his past. Unfortunately, his dreadful step-father has unwittingly caused him to avoid anything alcoholic, which proves to be a reoccurring problem throughout the story, since the singular potion that could potentially release his magic, and his dreams of a little payback, is over ninety-eight percent proof. Walter Farmfound has a desperate need to become a wizard and to unlock his unique Wild Magic; which is an unstoppable force of nature, but also completely unhinged and with a life and an agenda of its own and refuses to cooperate; at least not until it's been taken out for an expensive, candle-lit dinner. When his magic is finally unleashed, Walter believes he will at last be able to make everyone sorry for all their years of unsought-for... attentions; because who messes with a proper wizard, right? Unfortunately, the only time Walter is able to access his all-powerful and untameable Wild Magic is when he is completely inebriated - Pickled even - and therefore without any of those pesky, restraining inhibitions; and quite possibly a single functioning brain cell. So what could possibly go wrong? Pickled Magic is a hilarious, Pratchett-esque rollercoaster of a journey of riotous discovery, naughtiness and jokes as Walter's quest takes him ever-nearer to the ultimate power in the magical world of Allyssion, and perhaps finally to a little personal peace of his own. Yet this story is about so, so much more than something as mundane ...

A Tree's Heart by Angelika Rust (3 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

The rebellion is not over until its purpose is fulfilled. At the age of six, Ash becomes a Tree - one of the Joined Realm's elite soldiers. Robbed of his name, his family, and any memories of the time before he took his oath, his loyalty belongs solely to the Realm and its citizens. At eighteen, he's forced to fight in a civil war, against the very people he has sworn to protect, without ever knowing why. The rebels retreat, but they don't surrender. Their purpose remains a mystery. At twenty-two, Ash is chosen to serve as the Prince's Man, guard and guardian of the King's firstborn son and heir. The rebels return the next day, and Ash faces a host of challenges - protect his Prince or die trying, uncover the truth, and keep or lose his heart.
