From The Odyssey to The Hobbit to Harry Potter, and from Star Wars to The Matrix to The Lord of the Rings, Joseph Campbell’s definition of the Hero’s Journey has been used a thousand different ways to write and produce some of the world’s most loved and cherished adventure stories. Now, new author William Westwood Jr. presents his own unique take on the fantasy adventure. Tales of Tremora: The Shimmering, written and illustrated by William, takes readers into the world of Tremora, a mystical, magical, medieval-like place, smack-dab in the middle of its Age of Secrets. While searching for his missing father, fourteen-year-old Michael inadvertently passes through a magical shimmering veil of air in the forest near his home in WA State and steps into a strange land called Tremora. Escorted by a little old green man, Michael soon discovers a fantastical world filled with whimsical as well as dangerous creatures, some sent to help him and others intent on destroying the intruder. Wazalops, wisps, and wizards surround him, but how can he tell friend from foe when appearances can deceive in this Age of Secrets? The Shimmering whisks you into a parallel world of dragons and other creatures almost familiar yet decidedly different, onto a battlefield where good faces evil, and on an adventure where the final outcome remains uncertain.
