    C H MacLean

    (CNH Publishing, March 9, 2014)
    Love dragons and magic? "C H MacLean has written a supremely magical story ideal for the younger YA reader, and targeted towards those who love books such as `Harry Potter' or `Eragon' etc." - Lucinda, Amazon review This spellbinding Young Adult fantasy series will plunge you into a world where fantasy and reality collide. One is Come is the first installment in a YA fantasy saga full of hidden plot twists and turns. The centuries-old prophesy of the One is being fulfilled, and the ancient dragon clans are coming out of hiding to remake the world. The king of the magic users will stop at nothing to be sure the prophecy is fulfilled the right way--with his oppressive government ruling. As they struggle for power, Haylwen (14) and her brother Cadarn (16) just happen to be caught dead center. How can you save the world when you don’t know it needs saving? In this first book, meet fourteen-year-old Haylwen Rightad. She doesn’t think “crazy” runs in her family, but she might be wrong. Fish seem to listen when she talks. She finds herself wearing jewelry she can’t remember putting on. And then there was the explosion at school…and her ex-principal trying to kidnap her…and her brother? Don’t even ask. All she wants is to be an ordinary teenager. Live a normal life. Go to school, make friends, and not have to move a zillion times. Oh, and getting the bullies off her back? That’d be nice, too. What Haylwen doesn’t know is WHY all this crazy stuff is happening to her. But she’s about to find out. The bad news? Things aren’t going to be “normal” any time soon! With a mysterious prophecy, magical secrets and more than a few dragons, ONE IS COME is the first book in the adventures of siblings Haylwen and Cadarn as they come to discover they have powers they never dreamt of — and a destiny only they can fulfill. It’s not easy to be “normal” when nothing is at it seems, and no one is who they appear to be. "C.H. MacLean's One is Come is an engaging and often riveting fantasy novel that mixes the modern with magic.... The book is a page-turner and one that is sure to please both young adults and adults. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good fantasy read. MacLean doesn't disappoint." - 5-star review Readers' Favorite Overcome reality - have some fun - grab your copy today!

  • We the Three

    C. H. MacLean

    (CNH Publishing, July 10, 2015)
    The world will be remade, and Haylwen is running blindly into the dragons' flames of destruction... A magical princess in an amazing castle, Haylwen has finally found her true home. Having to wade through the social mud though, is driving her crazy. It's not the middle ages, after all. But old customs seem to die really slowly. The politics to confirm her father as king shoves her to the side, even pushing her to lie. Why should she have to hide all she's done, just because she's a girl? As much as she wants to help her father, she can't sit around and do nothing. Faustas is chasing her, and no one is willing to rescue her giant friend Vora. Haylwen's had enough. She can't pretend to be a weak, meek little girl, not even for the dreamy Rivenwake. She is who she is. However, with powerful magic users working against her, following her instincts may not be the smartest plan. And then there’s the dragons - pulling the strings, and unwilling to hide anymore. When the three clans burst out, the world will never be the same. With a mysterious prophecy, magical secrets and a lot more dragons, We The Three is the third book following siblings Haylwen and Cadarn as they face their fears and come to discover they have powers they never dreamt of — and a destiny only they can fulfill.
