Book Description
Merdyn the Wild is from the Dark Ages. He's the world's greatest Warlock (don't call him a wizard), banished to the 21st century for bad behaviour, and he's about to create a whole load of trouble for Rose, aged 12. Rose is a totally ordinary girl, on a mission to mend her broken family. Bubbles is Rose's guinea pig. He just poos a lot. When Rose bumps into Merdyn and discovers what he is, she quickly realises that he could be just what she needs. Rose agrees to help Merdyn navigate the confusing ways of the modern world (things like: the lidded bowl in the bathroom is NOT a sink, it's a TOILET, so definitely DON'T wash your face in it) if Merdyn gives her a spell to fix her family in return. Now they just need to hide him in the shed without Rose's mum noticing, track down Merdyn's magic staff and find a way to send Merdyn back through time to the Dark Ages. What could possibly go wrong...?

The Fire-Bringer, Highpriest of Kronus the God of fire and blacksmiths, embarks on an expedition to rescue a beautiful demi-goddess from unspeakable evil, and perhaps find true love. Akakios is secure in his faith, wielding the power of flame imbued by his god, but is he up to the challenge? The consequences of his actions will test his convictions and release upon the world a vile evil that could shroud entire nations in eternal darkness. Meanwhile, the fabled City of Atlantis, crown jewel of the Emerald Isle, basks placidly in the assurance of peace and prosperity so carefully maintained by its commanding influence over the civilized realms of the world . . . Until now. The "Mad Bard' has awakened from his long slumber by troubling visions, and an urgent Calling goes forth to gather the Assembly of Nine, the most powerful beings on the planet, to tell them what he has seen. But it is too late, and his foretelling becomes a dire warning to heed the unnatural chill in the air that forbodes terrible events yet to unfold.Among the first to experience these dark truths are Qel and his friend Havacian, two young Atlanteans only recently graduated from the Wizards Enclave. They are sent into the world on a journey of 'Discovery' - a rite of passage for young wizards to test themselves outside of the sterile confines of the Enclave, learn to survive on their own and develop their skills under real-life conditions. And life gets very real for the pair, very fast. The two wizards will need to use every talent they have at their disposal and those they pick up along the way if they are to survive the storm that is gathering.

Category : Fiction

Pages : 245
Book Description
Sergeant Lucas Walker has lost everything – his reputation, his position in the military, and his only friends. Now he's on his own, tracking down fugitives from his last battle against the Dominion. However, Walker's hunt across the moons of Uranus is interrupted when he rescues an orphaned preteen with an uncanny ability to use the Dominion's weapons. And to make matters worse, another interdimensional portal has opened and an elite Dominion strike force emerges. This time, they're not equipped with claws, lasers swords, or fangs, but with...magic wands? The United Federation of Sol is baffled by these new alien weapons and their only hope is to reinstate Walker--the military's only expert in Old Earth lore. But can Walker convince his former teammates to join him--and his new pint-sized partner--for one more mission before these villains from a suspiciously familiar world of wizards can apparate an entire Dominion army? Or will his preteen protege spell the end of both Walker and our galaxy? If you liked the irreverent action-adventure of Guardians of the Galaxy, the nerdy nostalgia of Ready Player One, and the sci-fi self-awareness of Redshirts, this is the series for you!
