Cast adrift into the wilderness, a teenaged boy flees a sorceress crowned with the skull of a dragon-hatchling, a sorceress who loves to pluck the wings off faery queens and assassinate rival magicians ... just for fun. Contending with warlords, werewolves, and the wrath of winter spirits, young Starbane is aided by a quarrelsome spy and a vagabond maiden on his journey, but it seems that everyone has a conflicting agenda and the shape-shifting witch, Oblixta, will not allow anyone to escape her clutches without a fight. Politics threatens to keep the exile from finding Rowan Blaize, a reclusive warlock from another dimension, trapped by a spell in Starbane's unforgiving world. Can Blaize help the boy thwart doom and break his own confining curse, or will an eerie twist of fate lead to a magical showdown that ruins them all? Ideal for admirers of the classic fantasy genre, Rowan Blaize and the Starbane Exile (Enchanted Heritage Chronicles: Book III) offers a timeless tale of Good vs. Evil ... and a glimpse into the perilous affairs of witches and wizards at war.
2000 years in the future a fourth of the population has retreated to an underground civilization located in the core of the earth. The other three fourths has been infected by an alien chemical called Kytec and morphed into blood thirsty animals. Three friends, desperate to escape the conformity of core-life, travel to the crust and unknowingly rewrite history.
Ravaged by the fury of a terrifying storm, an ancient sorcerer falls from the sky and crashes into a farm upon the English countryside. Powerless but determined, the wily Rowan Blaize must make his way to London and seek the help of his eccentric Aunt Ariadne, unaware that supernatural perils lurk around every corner. Even more daunting is the ultimate war he must wage against a vengeful goddess in order to reclaim his enchanted heritage. Told in the epic narrative tradition of classics like 'Hiawatha' and 'The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere,' 'Rowan Blaize' is a one-of-a-kind fantasy tale to be cherished for the ages. Lavish illustrations enhance a magical story that traverses a breathtaking journey through mystical worlds and encounters with a host of unforgettable characters. A sumptuous feast of enchantment to be savored by readers of all descriptions, 'Rowan Blaize' is the cornerstone work and the "key" that opens the door to the entire series of novels in the Enchanted Heritage Chronicles.
The Hades Gate is slowly unlocking, as it has been for centuries, and only the shattered remains of the Blade Of Olympus, or The Four Swords, as they are better known, can seal the Gate for eternity when gathered and combined. However, as ever, things are not that easy. Dark forces in the name of Blue Cloud, the son of Hades, stir and plot to use the Cornopticus, an item capable of destroying the remaining Olympian Gods and absorbing their souls, to his own vile misdeeds. And then there are the Enfocers, a band of mercenaries once compiled by the Galactic Government who, in the government's untimely absence, appear to be working on nothing but gathering the swords. . . Even if they must destroy Earth to do so. . .
