    About this ebook

    Set on the world Tarkeenia, this story marks the struggle between god and man, magic and indefinable evil.
    The struggle between God and man, magic and indefinable evil is without recourse.
    Roedanth wants Peetra back, it doesn’t matter the boy is dead; he can’t stop wishing. Tainted by dark magic, tragedy and pain follows Roedanth from Crows Nest to Coowic where the Magi live.
    Tarkeenia is awash with life - man and beast live side by side. Monsters hunt the shadows looking for a bite to eat. The tip of balance between dark and light, good and evil is tenuous, even on a good day.
    Flesh eating Specks turn the living into dust, and the world is no longer safe. Murrdocks are a myth, and their King has been murdered. Prince Pec must turn myth into reality.
    Strangers become friends, uneasy alliances are tainted by betrayal and self-gain, and unlikely heroes emerge to salvage what they can from a world on the brink of chaos.
    All strive to make do in a world bubbling with wild magic, as the lives of man and monster hang in the balance. Can Tarkeenia survive the tug and pull of the very spoilt, and the very wicked?

    FANTASY! It is a word that holds the reader’s imagination in the palm of a writer’s hand. The very word oozes unpredictable delights and will, no matter whether you are willing or not take, this genre will take you on a journey that begs to be believed. I am an Australian author with an obsession for serious fantasy, reveling in the many worlds of fantasy and relish in writing novels with an abundance of traditional elements. As a fantasy writer, I am self-indulgent in the belief that anything is possible in the writing world. Grimdark/ gritty / epic and traditional fantasy is where I dwell, so grab onto your seats, settle down with a cuppa or two and lose yourself in the worlds I create. I fall I in love with every one of my characters and am thankful they are a part of my life. It is such a pleasure to share them with you. Born in Adelaide, South Australia I am a mother, a social media maven and an author who loves what she is doing - writing. You will find me on a plethora of social networking sites, from Twitter and Facebook to Tumblir, RebelMouse, Goodreads, Linkedin; and Pinterest as I connect with readers and other authors on various platforms. Australian Author, Ellen Mae Franklin’s website is dedicated to creative writing and short stories - http://www.authorellenmaefranklin.com and http://www.authorellenmaefranklin.weebly.com She is currently working on subsequent manuscripts and is involved in various writing, and creative communities.
