The Spellking’s Heir by Chris Mitchell

About The Spellking’s Heir by Chris Mitchell

The kingdom of Hyarch has become divided by a bitter war over the dominion of the realm, tearing families and friends apart. Even after many years and countless lives lost, the battles continue with no signs of peace to be found.

The Spellking, following in the footsteps of his father, seeks to impose the reign of magic wielders across the kingdom. The House of Roderick, a new dynasty rising to take the place of the old, has banned most forms of magic in turn. Amid this conflict, a new generation comes of age.

Far removed from the battles waged to shape the kingdom’s future, in the town of Hallowscroft, four young men and women are drawn together. A young noblewoman nurturing a hidden talent faces a sudden betrayal, while a fugitive thaumaturge seeks to make amends for horrible misdeeds. A journeyman healer returns home to seek a family they may never have had, while a warrior bearing the scars of battle must decide between duty and love.

Only by standing as one can they hope to oppose the shadowy menace that threatens the town. But secrets lay hidden in Hallowscroft, terrible truths far older than anyone can remember…ones that could herald the kingdom’s end…

Metropolis: Book of Dreams by Melanie Jackson

Metropolis: Book of Dreams by Melanie Jackson

“Metropolis” is the first novel in the dark fantasy series “Book of Dreams”.

What dreams may come before you shuffle off the mortal coil…

Troubled by night terrors? Need someone to bodyguard your dreams? Have a loved one who has slipped into a coma and the doctors can’t explain why they sleep, or offer any hope of bringing them back? Then call Hypnos Inc. and ask for Nicodemus Smith, the dream retrieval expert.

Though Nic avoids publicity when she can, this time her client is a very high profile political consultant. Approached by this professional rival who fears for his life, she reluctantly takes on the case of guarding his dreams. But a murderous attack on the Wakeside lands her client in the hospital and turns police attention her way. It is soon apparent that someone has designs on the entire city government, but who will believe her? Few creatures in the Narcoscape are powerful enough to organize such a widespread overthrow in the waking world and she will need to call in a lot of favors if she is to save her client and foil the plot to take over the city’s most powerful officials. This will mean working dangerously long hours in the Narcoscape, the place of dreams where infants are beguiled by visions and do not wake in the morning. It is the shadowy realm of the coma patient and the last stop for the drug users who come looking for the arms of Morpheus. It is the kingdom of the insane, the place where dark things prey on the mind and where Nic has some deadly enemies.

Whoever said dreams can’t hurt didn’t know what they were talking about, but if Nic doesn’t take the risk no one else will.

But history doesn’t remember everyone. Written by the victors, written for them, history has a bad habit of neglecting many.

Welcome to Adeva. Your faith will not protect you.

* The Princess Who Loved Her Maid: Princess Ilava is deeply in love with her maid, Raci. When her father arranges her marriage with Emperor Mahamara, Ilava is forced to choose between losing Raci, or antagonising an avatar of God.
* Dacoit, Son of a Noble: Bhola’s rich life is uprooted when King Ananda’s conquering forces usurp his domain and kill his father. Forced into a life of dacoity, Bhola’s life is fueled with a singular motive: Kill King Ananda before he ascends to godhood.

The Path to God’s Promise by Ahuva Batya Scharff

The Path to God’s Promise by Ahuva Batya Scharff

If God asked you to become a prophet, would you? Would your answer change if you knew that to do so you would face ridicule, derision, and ostracism from your community? What if the possible outcome was to save humankind?

Elinor balks. As God tries to convince her of the value of His command, she is taken through wonderful historic events and potential disastrous futures. From the Israelite’s exodus from Egypt to a tsunami in the Pacific, Elinor experiences human and planetary events as few can.

Elinor is also shown her personal history. She looks at and re-experiences her past, creating an opportunity for healing. Elinor acknowledges the horror of early childhood trauma and her decision to recover from alcoholism, making meaning of events that once overwhelmed her.

“The Path to God’s Promise” is the chronicle of a Jewish woman’s epic journey of self-discovery and a call to each of us to look not only at our life’s path, but that of our planet.
