Abandoned by his father, a grieving boy moves from Florida to his grandparents’ farm in Upstate South Carolina. There, he rediscovers his passion for life in a most unexpected place—a magical world hidden deep in the forest.

In the real world, Charlie is a nerdy 13-year-old picked on by bullies at his new school. But in the fantasy world, he becomes a wizard who wields high magic.

Eventually, reality and fantasy blend into one.

Dark Circles is an adventure of epic scope. Only those with a hero’s heart will dare to stand at Charlie’s side as he battles fantastical monsters led by an evil being of immense power.

Gems of Fire by Diane E. Samson

Palace of Sunderland. Paradise to the peasants. Prison to sixteen-year-old Anna, daughter of the king. She can never escape the castle’s cold walls and scorning disapproval of her father and his brute royal counsel, Seamus. She’ll always live in the shadow of her late mother the queen. Will they ever see her for who she really is?
A riding accident lands Anna in the hands of traders who sell her as a slave in distant Kasdod to none-other than her father’s enemy, Lord Anwar. After overhearing a dangerous plot to conquer Sunderland and kill the royal family, Anna must escape and warn her father, even if it means facing her greatest enemy.
With the doom looming over her, Anna is approached by a dangerous-looking man in the dark. He claims to want to help her, but can she trust him with her secrets? The perils of the journey ahead will push Anna to the limit and answer the one question that has always plagued her. Will she ever be enough?
