“... very refreshing, a completely different style and format.” — SFBook.com “...reminded me of some of Tolkien's poems from The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings.” — Larissa at Howling Turtle “Adults and young adults will treasure this book.” — amazon.co.uk review “.. .very much in Tolkien’s class.” — amazon.com review The Legends of Light is a high fantasy saga in six poems. For adults and young adults. Crafted to be enjoyed by readers who do not normally read poetry, but do enjoy fantasies such as Eragon, The Lord of the Rings, and the sagas of Norse legend. Each poem builds upon the last to weave a tapestry of magic, dark creatures, and romance. If this eBook was published in paperback, it would be about 80 pages. THE QUEST FOR ELENA THE FAIR Three knights and a squire quest through the Vanishing Mists for the hand of Elena the Fey. Each suitor epitomizes a courtly virtue, but which will win the fair maid’s hand? WIZARDS’ CONFLICT When evil wizard Scaroth frees himself after a thousand years under the mountain, no one can withstand his power. There is only one power that can stop him. Can it be harnessed in time? KESHENA’S DESTINY Royal elven blood flows through young Keshena’s body, but magic does not. Or does it? When the goblins besiege Dark Holm, her true powers reveal themselves, but is it too late? DRAGON HUNT A dragon and its rider quest. They find not what they seek; but what they need. THE GLOWERING An ancient evil corrupts the land. The young wizard twins are the world’s only hope but they cannot defeat it alone. Help comes whence it is least expected, but still one twin is destined to die. GUARDIAN OF WILD MAGIC The Vanishing Mists disperse; the goblins stream into the light of day. Magic has gone wrong. The last quest begins and must not fail. WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE LEGENDS OF LIGHT “... a cross between Beowulf and Lord of the Rings.” — amazon.com review “...should grace the shelves and nooks of any true connoisseur of fantasy literature.” — amazon.com review
