Book Description
A Trilogy Reborn, is a title conjured by noted author James Blackthorne. If we have eyes to see the reader will notice a combination of Sagas that are bristling with adventure. The reader will experience real thrills; It's as if the magician uttered his magic words. The trilogy is broken down in a manner that the reader can take in several compelling themes set in exotic settings. The author succeeds in detaching a shadow of the moody black walls and provides us with an array of lively flesh and blood characters. Blackthorn's heart started beating again." I can't pick up what's going on these days," the sources said, swaying his head sadly," but I found a feeling something strange is behind it.In most cases the hero of the story has to fall out is usually the difficult path, the more upright style. He never experiences a quick death'. For example, in Leon's case, his beliefs are genuine. He's not just a wizard, but humanitarian. He believes if necessary, he must sacrifice himself on the cold slab of the heathen altar. In more than one instance, he was willing to perish by a blade he had honed, wielded by the very arm that had given strength skill and consciousness." "An intuitive feeling has risen in the world's heart today that somehow our lives are one." The prolific author spoke of an idea that he had envisioned remotely in his psyche. He envisioned the omniscient potent foe unsheathing his terrible anger and disappointment. . Blackthorne illustrated how there are no unrelated, warring factions, somewhere a splendid unity exists behind the apparent diversity. " We can reveal that hidden thread of being and purpose that seems to marry up the whole. Even the stars and galaxies of other worlds are destined to become part of one harmonious mass." For the moment, the author felt a sudden twinge of fear as his innards shifted violently. Along the spur of the moment, the fear was gone, replaced by a strong pulse of excitement.. "Why should he be afraid," he asked himself?" He could be likened to the characters in his books. James explained how long ago, he had readied himself for such exigencies. Blackthorne explained. "From an author's point of view, you generally do better if you're close to your character. Yet you don't desire to be quite as close as you would like to be from the viewpoint of building up your creativity.".Come meet the cast of exciting characters as they are involved in this Fine Fantasy firmly rooted, in reality, there's a strong focus on one of the leading characters called the Grand Wizard Leon Davith. It's common for Leon to join powers with his Golem son called Barson Wolfe. Blackstone translated his comments into velocity at times he requires the reader to stiffen in order to meet the shock. Still, no story is complete without including the feminine factions. Bards gal pal referred to as Quill, who is an alluring young sorceress. Meanwhile, she stood in the company of two beautiful ferries called Erin and Leda. Erin commented to Quill. " Our alibi's sound so good in theory, but in reality, what we experience is a different means of narrating the story." Leon nodded. However, Quill explained. I can't help the rumination of my thoughts." For a minute there was no response. Leda remarked, "my gut feeling informs me that this trip delivers a few glitches, is about more than just some ancient relic." " Stop that" Erin said. " I suffer a strange impression, whatever or wherever it is we're being summoned there." Leda's eyes opened full. " My curiosities got me., why are we summoned and for what person purpose?" Leon commented. " Simmer down ladies, it's best to catch some rest before the big day"

Forty years later, the world stands poised on the brink of a new dark age . . . England is in ruins, crushed by an asteroid called to Earth by the very alchemy Newton unleashed. France is in chaos following the long-delayed death of Louis XIV.
