Books with title The Hero's Quest

A human, elf and Dwarf set out on a quest.This is a previously unpublished “High Low” fantasy trilogy. Fantasy stories are very popular for all ages, often in the best seller lists. For some readers this rich source of adventure is closed. This trilogy proposal is based on characters living in ‘Darkling Lands’ (map supplied!). It has the usual fantasy theme of Warriors, Magic, Elves, Dwarves and Dragons and these with characters types, readily identifiable in the fantasy context by readers, appeal to a very wide age range in this key area of fictional interest. However the content is mainly aimed at the 11 to late teen market, with reading levels at around the 8/9 year level.

It’s Delta’s sixteenth birthday. She gets a coming-of-age present, but it comes with a condition- she has to find her soul mate and prove she’s worthy of him in a week, or she will lose her adult tail and it will stay pale. Delta meets various mermen from Mr Slob to Mr Useless, and sees their faults are hers. Then she meets Jonty, and realises she wants to be a better mermaid.

With Jill Horner's significant help, Tyler finally has his base of operations set up, on her rooftop, to catch video evidence of that dastardly duo, Mr and Mrs Lien. And things even seem to be hitting off with Jill. Everything is finally working out as it should for a hero. Until, of course, Jill turns him down. What was with that? And now his childhood nemesis appears to be the next victim, and an old friend appears to be in on it, both somehow wrapped up in all of this too. Are the Liens even involved at all, or has he been barking up the wrong tree this whole time? Maybe he's the one who's been played all along, like Ender Wiggin was in Ender's Game. Or those two magicians in The Prestige did to each other. Can he even trust anyone anymore? Find out in this next exciting instalment of The Arthur Lien Abductions. Of course, if you haven't yet read Part One: The Secret or Part Two: The Mystery, you may want to do that first.

Andy Gwennen leads a decently normal life. She goes to school, comes home, and tries to ignore her alcoholic widowed father, just as much as he ignores her. But one day, as she's walking home from school, all of that changes. She's attacked by a stranger in a mask, but is saved by a mysterious boy with one bright blue eye. She learns of an evil Druidess, bent on the destruction of a beautiful kingdom, and more particularly, on the destruction of Andy. Now, Andy must go on a quest to save the land - and herself - before the kingdom she never thought could exist is destroyed.

According to the legend, any who find the planet Sanshli can rewrite the past, and my brother wants to use it to destroy the Empire. My loyalty will always be to the Emperor, but what if this planet is real? And the longer I stay with my brother, the more I begin to find that the Emperor has been keeping secrets from me.
