The Patient by Linda Thackeray

The Patient by Linda Thackeray

They say that a long time ago when elves and wizards existed, the land was ruled by kings. Heroic warriors roamed about, protecting the people from evil. These were said to be just stories, just tales told to young children to make them believe in magic.

Dr. Dan Ellis does not believe in magic.

When Dan is called on to treat an amnesiac patient named Moses, he embarks on a strange journey with very dangerous stakes. Moses constantly refers to him as War Dragon, a clear sign of his delusion, according to Dan. But when he meets John Malcolm, a tycoon who is determined to gain possession of Moses, Dan discovers that there’s more to Malcolm than meets the eye. In fact, he is a dark lord from ancient times, one that was resurrected.

Dan, with the help of a trio of elven brothers and Detective Anna McCaughley, start a quest to defeat John Malcolm before he can re-establish his kingdom of darkness in the modern world. Along the way, Dan finds out about his own past, and how his destiny is entwined with others.

THE ELFKIN JOURNALS: Blending of the Races by JDeVereS

THE ELFKIN JOURNALS: Blending of the Races by JDeVereS

Warder Garith De’ Graoin and Doctor Lan De Tian lead a team of “Misfits” on a quest to save their universe from a plague that is sweeping through an entire civilization. Utilizing the power of bonded mind stones, they shape the energies of the universe to reach across time and space seeking out the enemy.

As the most elite team of Warders in the Elfkin Federation… they are assigned the responsibility to enter an alternate universe… find the weakness in the aggressor’s system and stop the plague. Unfortunately, the enemy they face possesses genetic mutations that make them the equivalent of ‘minor gods’.

Tragically, this team knows that the reason their universe is under attack is the result of their Federation meddling in the affairs of the alternate universe. To win… they must save ‘the Mother’, defeat a minor god, and restore order to the alternate universe.

What can this tiny team of 7 multi-racial Elfkins do against an entire Empire?

WIN! They either win or two civilizations will devolve into primal chaos.

From their tiny resort camp on the third planet from a minor sun… they must embark on a journey that does not understand the concept of time as a linear progression. They must win a battle using the curvature of time and the energies of two universal sources.

In this battle there is no safe place to hide… your dreams, your future, your past… even the shadows of the night are all susceptible to attack.
…
“There is really nothing else Ramas and I can teach you in preparation for this challenge… our chances of success will depend more on your brains rather than your swords.” Garith panned a slow, hard-eyed, look across the team… then shaped a small smile. “Remember, all you have to do is defeat a minor God!”
“Okay – when I open the gate… you go!” Garith’s mind stone flared… his hands shaping an intricate pattern, duplicating the images formed in his mind, as he carefully opened the ‘lightway’ that would take this team to the rebel leaders.

“Dell r’… get ‘em in there…” The ‘lightway’ flared as five shadowed figures moved toward the gate.

Ramas watched as Dell r’ rushed through first… his greatsword in a neutral position… not threatening… but instantly ready for action. A mountain of iron hard muscle… with arms like braided steel… flaxen hair tied back in a tight braid… facial features locked in a grim battle-set.

Ramas chuckled as he thought quietly to himself. “Bet that look will put the rebel leaders in line really quick.”

“The stars be with you!” Ramas patted Rison on the shoulder as he stepped through with Muirisc tight by his side.

“The stars be with you!” In the darkness of the chamber, Ramas reached out with one hand to encourage the final two travelers. He knew that the Council had assigned a ‘protector’ class warrior to the team at the last moment but he had not yet seen the man in person. There had not been enough time to check every detail of every plan… at some point he had to trust the judgement of other personnel. Briefly glimpsed intelligence reports indicated that he was some kind of giant Elf with archaic armor straight from the legends of ancient times.

“Whoa! What was that…?” As the warrior surged passed, supporting the ‘ailing’ Ala, Ramas’ hand brushed the ‘protector’s’ armor. Instantly, his hand recoiled as if struck by a strong shock. Less than one second later both figures were gone and the gateway closed.
“Interesting…” Ramas pursed his lips in a moment of thought… his features totally neutral. “The wheel turns as the wheel turns… I must rethink some of our plans.”
…
In the tradition of Tolkien and Asimov this novel invites you to step into new worlds of thought!

The Call of Magic – Book One of The Fool’s Journey by A. R. C.

About Featured Book: The Call of Magic – Book One of The Fool’s Journey by A. R. C.

Freshly graduated from high school, EMMA LIE has never let go the betrayal her father served her. On the eve of her college departure, burdened with grand designs, Emma finds herself branded by a strange mark.

Bewildered by its appearance, Emma becomes distracted, then suspicious, of a captivating boy named THIES KRAUSMANN. Suspecting he bears the same symbol, she brings him closer and, amid a passionate moment, demands the truth from him. His cryptic answers skew her reality forever. Magic is real. The impression on her arm is an invitation by FATE.

Called by magic, invited by Thies and his mysterious colleague, Emma refuses their offer to join a cabal of magicians.

An unknown assailant chooses that hour to strike, and Emma is thrust into the world of magic, stolen away from her home even as the aggressor orders the kidnapping of her mom.

They’re transported to the Citadel, the stronghold of the magic Legion. Emma seeks reassurance from Thies, her only lifeline in that strange city. Compelled to trust him, pressed through Orientation, and shown the terror of the Merim, Emma wants nothing more than to return to her life. The secret war being waged by the Legionnaires beyond the Well in the Land of Magic is not her destiny.

She is told by the HIGH PRIESTESS that she cannot return. She is a recruit, now, bound by blood.

Lofty intentions derailed, her mother in mortal danger, and forced into military servitude, Emma struggles, resenting her captivity. Within hours, she alienates the other recruits and, resisting their overtures of friendship, plots escape. Rebuffing Thies’ attempts at romance, pushed to his side by the brutal training regimen, Emma battles for her own heart just as she fights for survival.

Battered by periods of torturous instruction, she finds herself losing ground. Thies is persistent. The moments they shared before her forced entry into the Legion were a reality she never imagined could be hers. Still, she plans desertion.

Strange things occur in the Citadel. The Legionnaires hold her suspect, THE PROFESSOR follows her in the hallways, and a magical parasite has escaped the Land of Magic. When Emma stumbles on a means of escape, her intentions to flee bear fruit. She must find the time and power to explore a mysterious set of tunnels. Days pass, and though Emma had originally shut herself off from friendship, she finds her teammates are as persistent as Thies. Her feelings for Thies intensify, but she cannot abandon her mother, or the life she had planned.

Emma is ordered to help clear the dangerous parasite. In a show of tremendous magic, the parasitic goop forms into a man-shape, claiming it will find her just as she and her companions annihilate it with their combined powers. Yet remnants of the slime are discovered after. It has not yet been destroyed as they had hoped. Despite this setback, Legion life must go on.

In Legion rite, Emma is paraded before the veterans at a ball. Dressed to perfection, plied with alcohol, Emma’s heart gives in. She and Thies fall into love.

In the hours after, Emma is caught in her daily attempts to escape.

Imprisoned, struggling against Thies’ heartbreak, Emma is forced to explain her actions. She learns that the parasite has become aggressive, that it is sentient, even. At the promenade, it abducted one of her teammates. Those who were closest to her disappear one by one.

It comes for Emma, but is driven away.

Intent on saving her friends, with Thies at her side, Emma agrees to act as bait, engaging in a dangerous mission. She joins the High Priestess and the Professor, racing against the opening of the Well. When Thies is captured, Emma has no choice but to chase after him. They enter the Land of Magic.

Confronted by the parasitic extension of a Merim’s power, the pair engage in a desperate battle against a powerful foe. And just when they have won an astonishing victory, another Merim arrives.

Emma dispatches the proxy of the first, and the second Merim disappears. Thies lies on the ground. Though unwounded, he rises inexorably into the sky. Fearing for his life, Emma clings to him with desperation, but is knocked unconscious. She awakens to a world without her love.

Unknowing whether Thies is dead, she vows to return him to the land of the living.
