Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

What if you ended up on a planet. . .and had no idea how you got there? On a planet called Ethereal live creatures known as the Elouse. A couple of kids discover a human child and take him in. While their dad, Jasper, tries to find the planet “Earth” (which doesn’t exist in their galaxy) their mom, Ellen, and her girls, Taylinn, and Avigale are left to welcome and care for, Sinya, who has no recollection how he got there in the first place. Sinya tries to fit in his surroundings and make friends but some are too afraid, including Taylinn and Avigale. Taylinn finds out her dad is going away in a secret spaceship, but she overhears that the mission is really “to save his family from him?” Could he mean Sinya? Sinya starts seeing Mer-Dragons, a made-up tale told to him by Avigale and Taylinn but this Mer-Dragon talks to a being known as “Malic,” one that means danger for Jasper and the family. But no one will believe him. When Taylinn finally sees the truth of the danger for herself, she tries to alert her friends, but just like Sinya, no one will believe her, including her mother. Now in order for Sinya to get back home, these unlikely pair must team up to save Jasper, and his family from the coming danger of Mer-Dragons!

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I first had the idea when a friend of mine bought me “Inkheart” by Cornelia Funk then after that series I began reading other middle grade fantasy books like “Fablehaven” by Brandon Mull “The Chronicle of Narnia” by C.S. Lewis and became hooked. Other fantasy books inspired me too like “Magic Kingdom of Landover” series by Terry Brooks, “Gatemage” by Orson Scott Card and “Books of Umber” by P.W. Catanese. I started working on this trilogy in 2006 after I wrote my urban fantasy novel “The Lost Angels.”

Featured Book: Awakening (Crystals of Syre, book 1) by Lindsey Cowherd

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

It was said that, at the beginning of time, the Stars created for the Eight Kingdoms of Syre each a secret weapon; a Stone of Power, with majiks beyond the imagining. But that was only a myth. By the Second Age of Syre, the majiks, inlaid in Eight Stones of Power, had gone dormant. Life went on without their influence, and the memories of a word dependent on majik slowly faded…

Now in its Third Age, the current kingdoms of Syre have nearly forgotten what powers they were bestowed; however, enemies from beyond the borders threaten the peace of the people. Fighting has been long and exhausting. There is no clear end in sight. But there are those who remember the ancient majiks given to the kingdoms; those who, in fact, had close ties with this unimaginable power. They remember their potential.

Yet, seeking out the Stones of Power seems a measure for the desperate–or it could bring about the salvation Syre is in need of to push the attackers from the kingdoms once and for all. Only time will tell.

The powers of the stones seem to be awakening…a time of majik is upon the Eight Kingdoms of Syre once again…

Deepest Midnight was inspired by thoughts I had about vampires and reincarnation. This formed the basis of the novel. I always keep a notebook handy, as you never when a random thought could turn into an idea for a book.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
After having finished my first YA fantasy series, The Cremelino Prophecy, I wanted to write a book with dragons in it. And although my story is character driven, the dragons and their interaction with my characters, and eventual support in their quest made for an exciting and adventurous story.

The Council (The Witch’s Ambitions Trilogy #1) by Kayla Krantz

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

The Council is the governing Coven over the Land of Five, a region entirely inhabited—and split apart—by witches with varying powers.

Lilith Lace, a witch thought to be born powerless, happily resides in Ignis, the Coven of Fire, until she suddenly develops telekinesis, an ability only seen in some witches born in Mentis, the Coven of the Mind. She’s terrified of it, unsure who she can trust. Her best friends, Helena and Clio, are hot and cold about what she can do, leaving Lilith even more unsure about her future.

At her Arcane Ceremony, the truth comes out.

When the Council learns what she can do, she’s taken under their wing and is finally told the truth—everything she’s learned about the Land of Five, herself included, have been nothing but lies.

Targeted Age Group:: YA

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
When I got the idea for this book, it was the first time that I branched out from my genre. By nature, I am a psychological horror/thriller author. I debuted in that genre, and love it to pieces. The idea for the Council was created when I decided I wanted to try my hand at writing a fantasy book. I started out thinking of a world of witches and fairies and details grew from there.

Time Illusion for STAR by Crystal Lindsey

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

Hearts ignite at first sight.
STAR, headstrong, beautiful and full of intoxicating dreams of the future. BLAINE, a strikingly handsome neurosurgeon new to town – captured at first sight by her dramatic loveliness and magnetism.
Abruptly all comes crashing down for them one fateful day when in the wrong place and at the wrong moment, Star is careered back through time to early Virginia 1754.
Rescued by Baron, a handsome wagon trail scout, Star narrowly escapes an Indian war party.
Carried on horse-back to the wagon train, she is about to experience the hardships and sometimes hilarious events of pioneer life.
Taken under the protection of a woman named Hildy who lost her daughter and then her husband during the long journey south from New York, Star is uncertain what her destiny will be once this woman reaches her final destination.
Is this a dream created by her unconscious state, or is it a delusion, hallucination, or perhaps an illusion? Whatever the explanation, it is terrifying!
Will STAR remain in 1754 or somehow return to her own time, and her newfound love?
Only Father God knows how to bring this young woman back to himself.

Targeted Age Group:: 16-70

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My Inspiration to write this book came from several factors. Firstly, I love to read Time Travel stories, yet some don’t seem to get the vanishing back through time part correctly.
As a retired specialist nurse and aware of the unconscious patients’ ability to hear and know while in a comatose state, I drew on this understanding for traveling back through time. Having my seventeen-year-old granddaughter living with me
and sighting the rebellion in her plus praying for her safety, also contributed to the story.
When writing, I use my formed education of nursing, mental health, emergency medicine, psychology, and Bible College to draw an exciting picture of events.

THE FIRE DANCER…
Ice lord, spy, Heath never loses a fire dance. Yet he longs to know that thrill of danger down his spine as he kills for his god, to fight a warrior who might, just might be better than him.
THE BROKEN…
Val Arques is a bladesman of formidable power entrusted not only with Kaell’s life but with the truth that will destroy him. Banished to a grim outpost of this doomed kingdom of sorcery, poetry, and treachery, he cannot afford to care about the young warrior. For love means loss. And Val Arques has a shameful secret …
A KINGDOM ON THE EDGE OF CHAOS…

Duty and love collide in this powerful epic fantasy about shattering loss, betrayal and the price of power.

Targeted Age Group:: adult

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I love sharing the stories going around in my head. I often start with a fragment of an idea and then see where it goes. In The 19th Bladesman, the initial idea was, what if you had to kill a stranger to save someone you love, but the person you had to kill protected the realm. It moved on from there to become a story about dark plots, dark magic, and characters with even darker secrets.

This image appeared in my mind of a young woman being confronted by a King and assured that her trial the next day – not for anything she'd done but for what she was – was a foregone conclusion. And her courage as she faced her accusers even as an elf and wizard strode through the crowd to try to stop it.
Then I had to write the rest of the book. I had no idea how it got to that point, or what came after.
