Sometimes life hands you candy canes. Sometimes life hands you thorns. For Willa Divine, life seemed to hand her everything on a golden platter. But not all of life is as it seems. Sometimes, when you bite into a piece of chocolate candy, there's something gooey and yucky inside. It took a few months for me to realize that about Willa Divine. But after I started to work for the Divines to pay for a pair of basketball shoes that Daddy couldn't afford, my whole world changed.

A hundred snarling lampirs had gathered across the pathway. Grey river-mist around their feet. Somewhere a wolf howled, and a bat dive to flit low across the surface of the water. And Jack saw, with a sickening certainty, that there was no way past the lampirs... They were trapped. Ben Jack and Emily are journeying into the Polish mountains, desperate to end the lampir plague that is draining the country. If they destroy the monstrous Count Lampirska, evil found of the lampir clan, then Poland's dead can rest at last. But the lampirs will do anything to stop them...

It said on the 03rd day before ides, before the first frost of winter reaches the land the blood of your ruler will stain the earthOne brother consumed by hatred and fuelled by anger, and the other living a life of forced solitude driven by guilt and haunted by his family's own legacy. But their paths are inexorably linked. The already fractious relationship between the Corshans and the Vaisalans is deepened further when a hand-delivered letter is received at the council chambers heralding the start of a brutal war. Deep within the Gadgrian woodland, far away from any other settlers and shunned by his own people, a tracker lives out his days until the chief councillor of Gadgria pleads with him to find the threat to the Kingdom and nullify it. For Lambarton it is an act of redemption to escape his haunted past until he learns that his brother Calais is alive, and where his brother travels blood and death follows. For one it the chance to save the lives of thousands in the knowledge that a war is coming and only he can stop it, and the other it is the resolution of a bitter feud that will only be satisfied by blood.

Thessalopolis, a place co-habited by two races, the Garanti and the Talian. Lured there from great distances thousands of years ago to escape their own lands where they had suffered famines and epidemics of disease.It was a paradise island fertile and blessed in rich abundance, with reefs brimming with marine life, bountiful building materials and thriving fields of grass. The two races lived in harmonious union, coexisting peacefully but then enemies were formed from neighbours, alliances broken and a war between states consumed them. Neighbours alike fought over land as they tried to maintain control over the oasis and a long bitter history of protracted violence ensued claiming many lives.To end this constant conflict a great majicker placed a curse on the land of Thessalopolis. Every 100 years a single battle would take place on the Krasian Fields, a place that marks the divide between the boundaries of the Garanti from the Talian people. The rules on the battlefield were brutally simple, kill the King and in doing so the greatest riches awaited the victor. The conquering army and their race were gifted 100 years of unrivalled prosperity in their border whereas the loser in battle a 100 years of widespread poverty ensued.To lead each army the majicker decreed that a child born from tragedy yet pure of heart would be chosen from a land and reality not their own. Upon the eve of the child’s first birthday the gateway between realities would be opened and a representative from each race would be sent to collect the chosen child and bring him back to the land to lead the armies in the one great battle for the greatest prize of them all, Thessalopolis.

These stories, though in the style of Grimm and other collections of folk-tales, are entirely original : they are not rehashes of existing tales or legends. They can safely be read by, or to, children since there is no obscenity of gratuitous violence.Though they can be enjoyed simply as adventure stories, some of them have a deeper meaning and are more like parables, expressing complex philosophic ideas in narrative form.

The great Kingdom of Tarlath, a land of historic idolatry and ruled by a cruel and oppressive tyrant. The long-standing statues of the Old Gods had been torn down and broken in pieces, their names consigned to breathless whispers by pockets of the surviving faithful. Shrines are desecrated and worship of the Old Gods is declared a corrupt practice and those who refuse to obey the Kings laws with idolatrous worship are charged with rank treason punishable by death.There is great unrest in the four cardinal directions. They fear King Gomorrah, a cold and ruthless King whose greed could not be satisfied. He has created soulless creatures born of Old magic and calls them his Meldlings and where they go death follows. His greed will see him build an army of these beasts and there will not be a single piece of land he will not conquer.In the East the weak divided tribes of the Ruined Lands are beginning to unite, forming a strong, unified single nation that will not be cowed or bend their knee. Those that were once enemies will become allies, forming one of the largest most ferocious armies ever seen by the eyes of man.In the west the Nakaloo are constructing siege engines and enormous timber war machines capable of levelling buildings and forming alliances in the South with the Piathaleas who control the ports across the waters. They are readying for war, fearing a ruler in another land.In the North, a boy with no face and consumed with hatred begins his journey, following a pre-destined path that will see him become leader. Elsewhere, the Kings most trusted becomes his most hated. He who protects the Royal blood is branded a traitor to the realm and hunted by a creature of unimaginable power and strength born from Old magic.But those that stand defiant against the King are not alone. In their darkest hour the First and the Last are awakened, four beings born of Old magic. Ready to walk them, suffer with them once again.
