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.
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.
Twenty years have passed since Rowan Blaize faced his greatest magical foe, but the ancient warlock is still on-the-run with his mortal foundling, Miranda. What better place to lay low than the charming seaside town of St. Augustine, Florida? The Ancient City, however, is already home to voyeuristic ghosts, cocktail-loving vampires, werewolf comedians, and three highly eccentric witches! Rowan's monster-mash celebration is all set for Halloween night, but when a cursed ring crosses paths with a beauty pageant brat, a catastrophe is unleashed upon the partying Ancient City ... and possibly the world. Can the witches stop bickering long enough to combine their powers and avert disaster, or will Rowan's worst fears about an enemy from the past be realized? 'Rowan Blaize and the Hand of Djin Rummy' (Enchanted Heritage Chronicles: Book II) is a novel that blends enchantment, satire, suspense, and horror in a delectable cauldron's-brew-of-a-tale. Fabulous new characters are introduced, elaborate back-stories reveal much about Rowan's extraordinary past, and tantalizing questions are posed about his future.
