Book Description
Six years after a conflict that extinguished all mage-light, Eiden Myr is in chaos. Wild weather destroys crops; drought bakes some regions while others are flooded; mountains quake, poisoned rivers rise; disease and pestilence spread. In a dying trader town, three little girls fight to protect a secret that could cost them their lives, while a young lad-of-all-crafts finds that local murders are the first clue to a chilling conspiracy. In the far north, the remnants of the realm's warders struggle to compensate for mage-light's loss. In the south, a military race is remembering its origins. Along the shoreline, a band of guerrilla fighters, posted to repel invasion, prepares to battle for mastery of the realm-while one woman, a disgraced soldier, summons the courage to defy them all. On a remote island, a new breed of scholars strives to plumb the mysteries of ancient texts before they crumble apart. Who among them is the binder destined to reshape the shattered world.

Book Description
Maguvark Academy starts out with two mysterious people walking around the streets at night and leaving their child and countrys heir at the doorstep of a family of strangers, for their childs safety. Then they meet up with a group of their friends at the Krests family home to sign a contract. Years later, the Sherwoods and the Krests go on a vacation to the beach for the summer. Since the first day of the trip, the children notice strange happenings around them. First of all, Alex and Ellen encounter a butterfly with a broken wing, which appears to heal itself almost instantly. That night, on their way to a restaurant, the children are carried out of the Krests family car and over a forest, only to land in a lake which vanishes shortly after theyve crawled out of it. If things couldnt get any weirder, the childrens clothes dry up ridiculously fast after they noticed the lakes disappearance. After being split up, the children run into strangely-dressed students who help them find their way back to each other. They are then led out of the woods by a strange creature which Alyssa claims is a Selenkra. At the restaurant, Colin and Alex have a heated argument and Alex bursts into flames. The flames die out as suddenly as theyd appeared, and Alex remains unharmed. The following day, they meet a woman named Selena Maguvark who brings them to Luneria and gives them a mission to find Luna Maguvark in the human world. Alex, Ellen, Jen, Colin and Ron discover their true origins and their possible destiny as Lunerias heroes in a nearing battle... Maguvark Academy is probably like Harry Potter (with a twenty-first century twist). It has its own storyline, but events such as a young child being left at the doorstep of a non-magical family, use of spells and attending a school for young wizards and witches might remind readers of Harry Potter. The settings are also very different, as Maguvark Academy takes place mostly in Cambodia rather than in the United Kingdom the two countries are very different.

Illumination

Pages : 642
Book Description
The fantasy field has been waiting for this for years: Terry McGarrys first novel. Formerly the Vice President of the Science Fiction Writers of America, a longtime copyeditor for all the major publishers, and the author of a number of well-received short stories, McGarry is extremely well known throughout the genre. And now, with talent, insight, and skill rarely seen today, McGarry has crafted a fantasy adventure of the first rank; a wonderful, gripping adventure. Liath was proud to have passed her challenge and become a true mage, ready to journey the land and find a Triad to bond with as an Illuminator. But that very night, her light fails her: she can no longer see the magical illumination guiders, and thus, despite the mages badge upon her breast, can no longer call herself Illuminator. Liath travels to the city and petitions the Ennead, the senior mages of the land, for help and a cure. Before they will help her, they set a task for her to fulfill: she must find and capture the rogue Dark Mage, and bring him to the Ennead for justice; only then will her light be freed. So goes Liath on the most important journey of her life, for the future of the world rests on her success or failure--but which one? At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
