A cosmic threat, four heroes, one destiny.

The greatest of evils looms over the world of Kambia and many others. Inhabitants can feel the darkness cast by the uncanny shadow...and the worst is yet to come.

Empress Zalira and her council call a meeting to discuss what to make of this unprecedented threat, one that even the wizard orders cannot counter.

Lo and behold, it is time to assemble...The Chosen.

Meet Tauzuri Jones, a kid who is often bullied and lonely. The perfect definition of the odd one out from the crowd. Little does he know that his entire world is about to change before his very eyes. Uncharacteristically bright and mature for someone his age, Tauzuri will soon realize he is also...Chosen.

Shortly after his thirteenth birthday, Tauzuri slowly discovers his powers and bewildering secrets about himself that make him question the very reality of his origins. He now knows exactly why he is so different. Where he once felt like he didn't quite belong in the world, Tauzuri seems to have found his calling.

Upon entering the magical land of Kambia, Tauzuri meets a friendly wizard and finds himself in awe of a place full of wonders he never conceived. He also befriends an unlikely group that shares the same goal as him. Together, they are the Chosen, and they soon embark on an exhilarating journey that will potentially seal their fates as they prepare to battle it out against the evil Overlord who threatens all of existence.

In this first novel of her promising young adult fantasy fiction series, Chosen: The Path of Heroes, K.I. Price has fabricated a realm of unimaginable marvels and memorable characters. Join Tauzuri and the gang as they fight for one destiny in an epic otherworldly adventure.

Will the Chosen succeed in defeating the cruel Overlord? One way to find out.

When a cataclysmic battle on the island of Themyscira sends Diana, the Amazonian princess known as Wonder Woman, tumbling through a rift in time and space, she finds herself in the heart of Middle-earth-decades before the War of the Ring. Lost, but undeterred, Diana must navigate this strange new world and join an unlikely group of adventurers: Bilbo Baggins, the reluctant hobbit; Thorin Oakenshield, the proud dwarf prince; and Gandalf the Grey, the wise and enigmatic wizard. Together, they embark on a perilous quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the fearsome dragon Smaug. As Diana battles fierce creatures, navigates political strife, and faces the darkness within herself, she becomes an unexpected beacon of hope and wisdom for those around her. Her strength and compassion challenge the hardened hearts of those who accompany her, especially Thorin, whose obsession with reclaiming his kingdom leads him down a dangerous path. Diana's lessons of mercy and honor become a catalyst for change, not just for the dwarves, but for the very soul of Middle-earth. Through battles, betrayals, and moments of self-discovery, Diana must decide where her true place lies-between the worlds of Themyscira and Middle-earth, or somewhere in between. As the shadow of the dragon grows and the Battle of the Five Armies looms, Diana will face the ultimate test of her strength, not as a warrior, but as a protector. Wonder of the West is an epic tale of heroism, redemption, and the timeless power of compassion, set against the backdrop of one of fantasy's most beloved worlds. With a heart forged in the fires of war, Diana will find that sometimes, the greatest battles are fought not with strength, but with the courage to choose peace.

34 parts Complete
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.

“A breathtaking new epic fantasy series. Morgan Rice does it again! This magical saga reminds me of the best of J.K. Rowling, George R.R. Martin, Rick Riordan, Christopher Paolini and J.R.R. Tolkien. I couldn’t put it down!” --Allegra Skye, Bestselling author of SAVED The epic coming of age story of one special boy, a 14 year old from a small village in the Kingdom of the Ring. The youngest of four, the least favorite of his father, hated by his brothers, Thorgrin senses he is different from the others. He dreams of becoming a great warrior, of joining the King’s men and protecting the Ring from the hordes of creatures on the other side of the Canyon. When he comes of age and is forbidden by his father to try out for the King’s Legion, he refuses to take no for an answer: he journeys out on his own. But King’s Court is rife with its own power struggles, ambitions, jealousy, violence and betrayal. King MacGil must choose an heir from amongst his children, and the ancient Dynasty Sword, the source of all their power, still sits untouched, waiting for the chosen one to arrive. Thorgrin arrives as an outsider and battles to be accepted, and to join the King’s Legion. Thorgrin comes to learn he has a special gift, and a special destiny. He falls in love with the king’s daughter, and as he struggles to make sense of his powers, the king’s sorcerer takes him under his wing and tells him of a mother he never knew, in a land far away, beyond the Canyon, beyond even the land of the Dragons. With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A QUEST OF HEROES is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.

Kali has always been obedient, but when she takes her first step onto a protected “humans only” high school in suburban Pittsburgh, she knows she was the wrong choice for this mission. Ever since the murder of her parents when she was too young to remember, she’s been sheltered – and trained. She can swing a sword with expert precision, but studying popular human teen magazines hasn’t taught her how to masquerade as seventeen years old. Jason is the target of the mission. She and Yuuhi, who was also designated by his own people to be her partner, must find solid proof that Jason is, in fact, a supernatural phenomenon. Yuuhi sees little more than a socially inept emo kid dressed in conflicting shades of black, but Kali only touches Jason’s hand, and she feels the sting of something dark and deadly. Jason’s shadow is bigger than he is, and if the leaders of Yuuhi’s people find out, Jason won’t be human much longer. The goal of the mission is to protect him, but Kali will find that the only way she can do just that is to break every rule she’s been conditioned to follow. She’ll have to learn how to disobey. Beginning with Kali’s point of view and then shifting to the eyes of other characters, the Marionettes of Myth series introduces Pittsburgh as a superhuman metropolis, a world both wild and conquered by the monsters buried in its seams and darkest shadows. And those monsters will be watching her. ♦ Completed! ♦ [Copyright © 2013 Sarah Godfrey & Victoria DeRubeis] (All current books in the series are available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle format.

Graylands is where people go when they don't want to be found. A neutral, mostly frontier country between two opposing empires, it is a haven for drifters, pilgrims, outlaws, and everything in between hoping to build a new life, find adventure, or just disappear. Katrina Lamont is one such individual. Once upon a time, she was the Chosen One--a warrior charged with a great and heroic destiny. But when she finished her journey, there was no happy ending waiting for her. Now she lives as an embittered, alcoholic drifter, haunted by the ghosts of her past. But when an evil sorcerer, Jacob Daredin, seeks to fulfill an ancient prophecy that may grant him god-like power, Katrina will have to take up the sword once again as she finds herself caught in a race to find the young woman whose sacrifice is the key to Daredin's mad dream. Along the way, she will contend with Krutch Leeroy--an infamous outlaw who is not all he seems--and cross paths with Lily Blackthorn--a perky, but mysterious woman with a dark secret of her own. As Daredin's forces close in, they will traverse a haunted landscape of pirates, demons, killers, con-men, an immortal juggernaut, and worse in an adventure where the line between destiny and plain bad luck is razor thin.
