Heirs of the Frost by Daniel Greenbrook

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

The Hybrids stand on the brink of extinction. Each day they struggle for survival and fight tooth and nail against annihilation, but they are alone. Most of the world doesn’t know of them. Those who do are just as likely to help them as to call them an abomination, an unholy blend of human and elven, of Water and Earth. Half-elves. There are only a few who refuse to accept this hollow war and dream of something greater. Ralael is one of them, a young Hybrid with big dreams and an iron will, and when two elves show up at their gates with an offer from their king he defies the will of his entire community in pursuit of a chance to be heard.

But the Hybrids are not the only ones who deal with such hardship.. Fifty elemental cycles after the Withdrawal, the Ice Elves are turning restless. To prevent the unrest from spreading, their king is forced to take extreme measures to quell the turmoil, but will in turn be compelled to protect himself against those who would harm him — and those close to him. All of his relations are thus sent away from the crown city in the hands of capable protectors, except for one…

The circumstances are not an ally of either party. Before the end, everyone will have to make a choice, Ralael included. Does his mission truly come before everything else? What weighs more on the elusive scale of conscience? His kind’s future, or the life of a stranger?

Heirs of the Frost explores the northern forests of the land of Thessian, where the ice elves live: sensitive and righteous, they feel love and hatred stronger than any other people in their world.

Targeted Age Group:: 18+

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
When the initial, raw idea for the world of Thessian came to be it was tied to my interest in the psychology of personality. The idea that would anchor this interest into a fantasy story was the theme of the Elements: each one has its own race and that race has its own traits that mirror that element. Now the title "Heirs of the Frost" should be clear: it deals with an aspect of the Water, in this case the Ice Elves.
This makes up the equilibrium, which si disrupted by the fact that the Hybrids exist. The story deals with acceptance, at its core: each elf we find reacts differently to the supposedly unnatural nature of the Hybrids.
Or, as the elves call them, Hyxaenn.

The Day You Were Born by Daniel Greenbrook

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

In a small, forgotten village at the forest’s edge, a half-elf warrior named Dramon watches helplessly as the birth of a child goes horribly wrong.

Dramon is used to hardship. He is a Hybrid, half elf and half human, and he fights every day to survive alongside his kin. They can count on none but themselves. They fend for themselves and often turn a blind eye to what happens around them, but not always: sometimes they hear of humans on the warpath, raiding the elven border. Those rumours they never ignore.

Four seasons past, Dramon and a few other warriors were sent ahead of time to one of these settlements: they hoped they could stop the humans.

They were too late then, and Dramon feels like he’s too late now…

Targeted Age Group:: 18+

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Throughout the Deathweaver series (both existing and future installments), the hometown of the Hybrids is brought up as an environment that changes the people who grow up there. The Day You Were Born gives a glimpse of it and gives much more context to the Hybrids, who they are and why they are who they are. As far as the story itself, the theme of birth is highly symbolic and stresses specific internal conflict within the characters.

War of the Staffs (Book one of the War of the Staffs trilogy) by Steve Stephenson

War of the staffs (book one of The War of the Staffs trilogy) takes place on a world called Muiria, where a powerful vampire wizard named Taza is brought through the void, space between the planets, by a vengeful goddess named Adois.
Taza slowly convinces the Illanni, a race of dark elves, to take on the cloak of vampirism.
Nearly two thousand years pass before the scheming wizard makes his move. But his careful planning is jeopardized when Prince Tarquin is born to fulfill a prophecy and confront the evilest creature Muiria has ever known. The Prince, however, cannot succeed alone, and when Morganna, an Illanni noble woman, threatens Taza’s plans by starting an underground movement against him, she strikes her severest blow when she saves Tarquin’s life.
He is also championed by the wizard Celedant, and the young man is sent to the dwarvan army to learn combat skills. Then the wizard begins his search for the Staff of Adaman – the only object capable of defeating Taza.
Tarquin and Celedant’s epic journey spans the continent where they face not only a vampire wizard, but orcs, demons, liches and other monstrosities. War of the Staffs begins the search for the first of two pieces of ancient staff as Taza’s assassins hunt the Prince to thwart the prophecy. Tarquin, however, is not the only target. Celedant must confront not only assassins, but powerful and dangerous creatures that Taza brings through the void to destroy the wizard as well as the growing resistance among the dwarves and Wood Elves.
By the end of the epic tail Celedant collects a piece of the Staff of Adaman, while Tarquin transforms from teenage boy to a commanding officer.

Curse of the Sea by Joni Parker

A NATO training exercise goes terribly wrong when five warships from different countries are mysteriously transported to Eledon, the Realm of the Elves. The warrior Lady Alexin is charged to escort the troops back home to London in the year 2031 with the aid of the Wizard Ecstasy and a magic shrinking potion. Yet, when the authorities question her story, Alex is detained and imprisoned under suspicion of terrorism. Caught in a web of politics, betrayal and bungling bureaucracy, the confusing world of the future will push her magical gifts to their limit, and her own future will hang in the balance, caught between “justice” and the place she calls home.

Edge of Death by Joni Parker

In this second installment of The Admiralty Archives, the warrior Lady Alexin, the Keeper of the Keys for the Elf realm of Eledon, finds herself exiled to the harsh world of near-future London. Rendered little more than a political pawn by the Elfin Council of Elders to avoid a war with the Rock Elves, she has little choice but to struggle to find her way in this strange new land. Taken under the protection of kindly mentors, Vice Admiral Malcolm Teller of the British Royal Navy and his wife, Alex brings all her skills to the fore as she uncovers a series of deadly plots.
Murder is on everyone’s mind as an underground White Supremacist organization takes aim at Admiral Teller while two wizards, resurrected from death, must kill Alex in order to survive. To make matters worse, the Rock Elves dispatch a hundred assassins from Eledon with their sole mission to bring Lady Alexin to the very… Edge of Death.

Dragons, Elves, and Magic. What more could you want from a fantasy trilogy?

Maia returns home from a stay of absence to complete her final test to become an Elemental, only to find her world in chaos. Suddenly faced with responsibilities she thinks she is not ready for, a love she does not reciprocate, and a threat to her people that might kill them all, she may be forced to become what she was born to be – a Prime.

An army more terrible than the nation of Grildor has ever had to face has invaded the lands and is killing the Elves by the thousands. Lord Longshadow invokes the Rule of Kings and gathers the forces of Greater Grildor to their aid.

Maia, aided by her dragon Midnight and the mysterious Death Elemental, seek help of their own. All the while, Maia and Blaid must come to terms with their opposing powers and the disaster it could spell for their entire world.

The race is on to save the planet of Elveron from the invading forces. Will they be in time to stop their total annihilation?

“I fell in love with this world and its characters and became utterly invested in their trials and tribulations. Toni Cox has a wonderfully rich imagination and brings Elveron and the Elves, and Midnight the dragon, to glorious life. Utterly entrancing.”

Elon of Aerilann, Elven advisor to the High King and Council, negotiated the treaty between Elves, Dwarves, and men. He suddenly finds that fragile truce under threat by an unknown enemy. He and his team try to uncover the source of that threat in time to convince King and Council to act before it’s too late. But at what cost…?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
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.
