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 space ship, but she over hears 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!

It’s an an action adventure out of this Galaxy!

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.”

The Guardians: Witch Child (Book 1)
Debut Novel. The start of an epic tale that will span Ages and Generations.

Two ill-fated souls are trying to escape the control of their elders, instead collide with each other and discover they are forever bound together by the same infernal curse. The darkness they fear is found in their own hearts and for good or ill they are doomed to replay the calamitous events that destroyed a kingdom.

From the time of his chaotic birth that sent his mother mad, Jett Storm’Heart has lived under the shadow of an unspoken curse and an ominous prophecy. Despite no parents, Jett was treated with indifference by his people. Passed between families as a child or living on his own, he never felt he belonged among them. Their aloofness reared in him an unruly and turbulent spirit, causing him to be at odds with his Elders. Due to his rebellion, his activities are controlled and his travel restricted. He grew to despise their authority. Driven by a need for answers to the fall of his family, he was met with apathy and silence. Angry and frustrated by the restrictive confines of his society and the layers of rules and myriad degrees of traditions, he is desperate to escape their watchful eyes and take up the search for his missing father.

Since she could remember, Mara had only ever lived under the rule of her cruel mother. Her ambition was to become as powerful as her mother in witch-craft. Now she was appointed the most significant task of her short life, opening a Gate to another world. Ordered to meet with an acquaintance of her Mother, a mysterious stranger on the outskirts of Ryne, her true destiny lurches into view, the dark mysterious stranger was not the one she was expecting, but perhaps in the end the one she needed.
