The Beginning
Of The
End
Ramulas' peaceful world as a farmer
is shattered
when he is pulled into the midst of a magical civil war between worlds.
With the appearance of a mysterious young woman, Ramulas starts to unravel some of the mysteries of his forgotten childhood and secret ability to communicate with animals.
He starts to fear for the safety of his family when his daughters reveal that they, too, have unexplained abilities, and the intrigue only deepens when he discovers that the very existence of their world is under threat and that he may be the key to averting impending doom.
Book Excerpt
Ramulas woke to absolute agony, his hand felt as if it were going to explode. He opened his eyes and was shocked to find James kneeling over him. James held Ramulas’ injured hand and was squeezing it. Ramulas screamed in pain.
James reached back with a hand and punched Ramulas in the face so hard that his head bounced off the stone floor under the straw.
"Oriel!” Ramulas screamed.
James hit Ramulas two more times in the chest, spreading the pain throughout his body. Ramulas had never felt this helpless before. Where was the magic inside of him that Oriel spoke about? Why couldn’t he do anything?
Sanctuary
THEIR ONLY HOPE IS TO DEFEAT BOTH THE LEGION AND AN ENEMY CLOSER TO HOME.
With the help of the King’s magician Shigar, Ramulas and Pip avoid capture and race to Sanctuary to find Oriel, where she is trapped within a mountain. A war with the legion is coming, and Oriel sends out a call across the kingdom for help, which is answered by thousands who come to Sanctuary.
While the people train for the fight and dig into the mountain to free Oriel, Remus and his warlords weave magic to cross into this world to ravage everything. But King Zachary, angry with his magician for joining Ramulas and his people worshipping the escaped prisoner, prepares his army to march as soon as his spies locate Ramulas.
Book Excerpt
As Ramulas turned, he swung his battle axe at his opponent’s head. The soldier brought its shield up to block. Ramulas smiled as he kicked him in the stomach, sending him sprawling.
He let out a scream of rage as he threw his battle axe at Pip’s opponent. The axe spun toward the startled soldier but he turned, and the axe flew harmlessly by.
The expression of relief was wiped away when Pip thrust one of her knives into the soldier’s groin with a high-pitched scream. He grabbed his privates and pitched forward.
‘Ramulas!’ Pip shouted in warning.
As Ramulas turned, he let the war hammer swing to the ground. The soldier rushed at him with an overhead strike. Ramulas gripped his war hammer with both hands and swung it into the soldier’s breastplate, lifting the soldier a few inches.
Two throwing knives and a crossbow bolt appeared in the soldier’s body, and he was dead before hitting the ground. Then a wave of dizziness came over Ramulas as he dropped his weapon. He sat on the floor with his hands on his knees. All energy had left him.
The
Legion
has
Come
The people of Sanctuary are recovering after narrowly defeating the Kingdom army. Remus has brought the first legion into the Kingdom. He has made a deal with thousands of Symiaks and plans to use the Kingdom army to help him get Oriel.
Ramulas needs to free Oriel before the legion arrives, or everyone in the Kingdom with suffer the wrath of Remus.
