Tom Tickler # 1 Sapphire of Skills

A wizarding prince who is about to rule the kingdom of Clouds.

A strange savior who withstands the attacks of Age.

An evil Queen who seeks destruction and revenge.

 These are, but a few of the many signs of a slowly yet steadily
approaching destructive war between good and evil. Only the legendary Jewels of
Jouris can save the wizarding kingdom, and that responsibility is taken by a
prince as he accidentally absorbs the power of one of the strongest known
to wizard kind. As he readies himself for the approaching war, he faces
challenges and meets people who teach him the value of humbleness.

Tom Tickler and the Sapphire of Skills is the first story
of the series, a story consisting of magic, adventure and endless action. The
story shows the miraculous way in which the overconfident hero makes a
permanent mark in the history of magic; how he struggles against powers greater
than his own, and finding at last the most dangerous weapon; one which is more
influential that blackmailing, bribes and threats, a weapon that can’t be fought
with a sword or a shield. Words.

The protagonist struggles against his enemies, and
discovering ancient secrets along the way, secrets almost as old as magic
itself. As the end approaches, his pride withers away to give way to self doubt
the cause for his actions as he is presented before the question - What is evil
about evil? He discovers that there is no thing such as completely right or completely good - the universal formula for justice was, is and always will be: ‘the lesser of the two
evils’.

 Tom Tickler is a story with a unique combination of
magic, adventure and action. The author sincerely hopes that you will enjoy it.
