THREE TALES OF FANTASY: ALTERNATE DIMENSIONS AND JOURNEYS INTO MAGIC AND THE UNKNOWN…700 pages
BOOK 1: THE GATEKEEPERS OF GENTHOR
A dark legacy... A hidden enemy... A doorway into a virtual world...
Genthor is no ordinary landscape. It is not easily known. Its borders shift and it holds world within worlds that contain mysteries known only to a few, one of those being Roana Nash. She trains her daughter Gwendolen in the Esoteric, the gateway into those inner regions. Her son Will, in turn, trains in the longbow with his uncle, the monk Father Eadmer, a former Crusader, and sees himself as a spiritual warrior.
Until recently, the land where Will Nash and his sister Gwendolen dwell has thrived under a summer sun, and the people of Genthor have long known peace. Now, however, there are restless forces at work, discontent and power plays close by, and the open desire of more than one titled man to lay claim to Roana Nash, their mother, so to acquire her substantial property. And there is a much larger, hidden, darkness, bringing with it an unseen intruder and a threat corrupting the very air around them.
Gwendolen and Will find themselves immersed in a sinister journey of impending violence and the disintegration of Genthor if they do not find a way to stop the one who lives in that darkness, who seeks revenge and feeds on it. Extraordinary help comes to them, first through Gideon, Will's falcon, who teaches him the power of silence in war. Then there is Ga Fael Fawr, the gatekeeper of the enchanted Esoteric world of Aginmare, who gives Gwendolen a sword that is much more than a weapon. They must find the way soon, for they know the hidden intruder has already crossed the barrier between worlds.
BOOK 2: GUARDIANS OF THE FIELD
A doomsday trigger. A field of magic. A desperate call to those who can see beyond the veil of life and death.
The field of the Esarad is the home of scryers, ageless ones who enter both future and past at will. Karin Anavid must protect her young daughter, born a scryer, from those who would harm her. Maeta, a guardian of the Esarad, guides them both in a desperate race across a land gutted by war. They face a ruler obsessed with finding a hidden route through the ice mountains of Scrinac into the Esarad to annihilate it, and the betrayal of an old friend whose greed has consumed him into darkness. And there is Yorajil, a child of light, who follows her mother and guardian but is led by forces she barely understands to find her true home.
Each one is drawn inexorably toward the ruined city of Alcedama and a doomsday trigger that lies at the heart of an ancient prophecy.
BOOK 3: THE MAGIC HOUR
Before full night comes, when the air is indigo and objects less distinct, time and space can shift...this is the magic hour. For homicide detective Nathan Byrne, it is a time that signals chaos.
As he tracks down art thefts connected to a murder in an abandoned mine, his head injury from a car accident triggers blackouts that pull him into the shadows of an alternate world, one that seems to be more than a hallucination. Sent by his captain into a backwater small town in the Pacific Northwest to get his act together, Nathan finds himself drawn to the slower pace of life the town holds, to the work of solving a real-life murder with the local sheriff, and to Sela, an artist and preacher.
But the blackouts continue and each time he is drawn deeper into the destiny of the alternate world called Elaimat whose leader, Naliv, tells him her world cannot survive without his help. Nathan knows he needs to be healed, that surgery is the only way, but he resists. Yet as the border between the two worlds begins to merge, he is no longer sure he can remember which one is real.
