(Since book one is in the free Kindle preview, you can start reading now!)The Legend of Vanx Malic is a ground breaking 10 book series, started in 2004. These stories cross racial and sexual boundaries not featured in the fantasy genre very often, before then. The hero, Vanx Malic, is forever caught up in racial turmoil due to the fact he is half-human, and half-Zythian. The two races hate each other for various reasons leaving Vanx shunned and feared over his heritage by almost everyone who learns his secret. His most trusted companion, a lesbian named Chelda understands, for she is looked upon, and shamed in their world, and by her father, in much the same way. They do not cross paths until book three, but the bond of trust they build throughout the rest of the series, while adventuring in some of the most dangerous, magical, places ever written, transcends the lovers, and haters they come across along the way. And those they befriend? Well, they have unique problems of their own that cause them to fit right in.
