“About The Flower of Chivalry:

A land without a king. A sword within a stone. A boy… named Arthur.
Discover the childhood of King Arthur and all the experiences that formed his character before he pulled the sword from the stone!
Although this is Book 4 of the series, it’s a great place to start, as Arthur’s story starts here! You don’t need to read the prior novels to love it!

In this charming and lyrical novel of childhood, no one knows who Arthur is—least of all himself. All his parents know is that they are to raise him as their own, and never let on to him that he is not their child. All his brother Kay knows is that Arthur just seems to be better at everything, and better liked by everyone. All Arthur knows is that he doesn’t look or act like his family, and no one will tell him why. And while his parents say that he and his brother are equals, they keep promoting Kay over him—putting Kay forward as a knight, while they will only allow Arthur to be his squire.

No one knows that he is destined to be King Arthur, the legendary king of all Britain.

“I’ve always loved reading and teaching the many versions of the Arthurian legend. None ever came to life as well as Books 1-3 [of The Swithen]. Absolutely superb!” –Joanne V., Teacher

Yet there’s something in Arthur that can’t be repressed. A will to do right, to defend those who cannot defend themselves. Through his idyllic childhood in the forests that surround his home, he learns to protect and care for a friend that is shunned by all others, finally leading him on a dangerous unaccompanied journey that he handles with ease. Emboldened by his success, Arthur drifts into overconfidence, and makes a disastrous mistake that threatens to end his adventures—and his life—before they’ve even begun.

One of a very few novels that dares to imagine the childhood of Britain’s legendary king, this book is a lyrical exploration of a boy’s wonder at his discovery of nature and the larger lessons of the universe, set against a violent historical moment in which his country is sliding into crime and chaos. Filled with humor and heart, engaging family comedy and drama, and infused with magic and magnificence, it is the story of a gifted child and the forces that conspire to bind him to mediocrity.

“Really enjoyed books 1, 2 and 3. Couldn’t put it down. It is written so well you become part of the story. Loved it! Bring on the next 20 odd books. Can’t wait!” –Amazon Review

An excellent entry point into The Swithen series, the only Arthurian novel series that remains completely faithful to the real Medieval King Arthur legend, this is the starting point of the King Arthur story, and can be started without knowing the prior novels. That said, those who have read the three preceding novels in the series will enjoy a reading experience of greater richness and resonance, knowing the incredible chain of events that prepared the world for Arthur’s birth.

With cameo appearances by Merlin, Morgan le Fay, Gawain, the Round Table and more, in this novel we turn into the main thrust of the King Arthur story, and meet the most legendary characters of all time—those who will be with us for the next 21 novels in the series. Strap in for the longest and most detailed version of the Arthurian legend in existence, a book series you can grow with, and a story so great… it has endured for over a thousand years.

“Too often, Arthurian characters become stick figures in modern retellings. That is far from the case here.”
–Tyler Tichelaar, author, “Children of Arthur”

Featured Post: Dark Realm by Mary Vigliante Szydlowski

“About Dark Realm:

Satan, Lord of Darkness, has given the people a savior, a Messiah! While he rules the netherworld, his daughter, Ara, oversees his worldly realm. She’s the keeper of the faith. Her frenzied followers worship her with as much zeal as they do the King of Demons. Her concert tours and sermons overflow with true believers, willing to burn themselves alive to show their devotion to her. The clergy and aristocracy loathe her. They think she’s a fanatic who riles up lowborns and slaves with her foolish talk of salvation. Her ideas are radical! She preaches against priestly greed, and the debauchery and cruelty of the world. In a place where all Satan’s children bear his mark, coal-black eyes, her blue eyes are seen as an abomination by the clerics. They’ve never trusted Ara. The high priests tried to kill her the day she was born; but she was Satan’s spawn and he protected her. As Ara grew, so did her position, power, and control. The high priests may hate her, but they’re afraid to openly defy or plot against her…until the rumors start. They say something’s wrong with Ara. She’s acting irrationally! Hearing voices! Seeing things that aren’t there! She’s become unhinged and must be stopped before her delusions and rantings upend the world!

Featured Post: The Elemental Trilogy Box Set: Elemental Rising, Elemental Betrayal, Forbidden Elemental by Toni Cox

“About The Elemental Trilogy Box Set: Elemental Rising, Elemental Betrayal, Forbidden Elemental:

Dragons, Elves, and Magic. What more could you want from a fantasy trilogy?

Maia returns home from a stay of absence to complete her final test to become an Elemental, only to find her world in chaos. Suddenly faced with responsibilities she thinks she is not ready for, a love she does not reciprocate, and a threat to her people that might kill them all, she may be forced to become what she was born to be – a Prime.

An army more terrible than the nation of Grildor has ever had to face has invaded the lands and is killing the Elves by the thousands. Lord Longshadow invokes the Rule of Kings and gathers the forces of Greater Grildor to their aid.

Maia, aided by her dragon Midnight and the mysterious Death Elemental, seek help of their own. All the while, Maia and Blaid must come to terms with their opposing powers and the disaster it could spell for their entire world.

The race is on to save the planet of Elveron from the invading forces. Will they be in time to stop their total annihilation?

“I fell in love with this world and its characters and became utterly invested in their trials and tribulations. Toni Cox has a wonderfully rich imagination and brings Elveron and the Elves, and Midnight the dragon, to glorious life. Utterly entrancing.”

Featured Post: Dorothy in the Land of Monsters by Garten Gevedon

“About Dorothy in the Land of Monsters:

Shifters, Zombies, and Vampires? Oh my!

My name is Dorothy Gale, and I think I might be dead.

When my dog Toto and I got swept up in a twister, we landed in hell. A very colorful hell. Like a rainbow dripping in blood. Now it looks as though this dreadful underworld plagued with vampires, zombies, and shifters will be the site of my eternal damnation.

They say this terrifying land called Oz isn’t hell or purgatory and escape is possible, but first I must survive the journey down the blood-soaked yellow brick road to the only place in Oz where vampires dare not tread—The City of Emeralds.

With enchanted footwear and the help of my three new friends—a friendly zombie, a massive shifter lion, and a heartless axe murderer of evil night creatures (who also happens to be the hottest guy I’ve ever seen)—Toto and I have a chance to make it to the Vampire Free Zone. When we get there, I must convince the most powerful wizard in this magical land of monsters to send us out of this radiant nightmare and back to the world of the living. They say he’s just as frightening as this monstrous land, that he detests visitors, and even the most horrifying creatures cower in his presence. But I must seek him out. And when I find him, I’ll do whatever it takes to make him send me home.

Ian is a young woman with an unusual name, a talent for painting – and a thirst for blood.

Becoming a vampire is the most fun Ian’s ever had, partying all night and sleeping all day, safe in the knowledge of her new immortality. She’s totally unprepared for the nastier side of being a vampire – unprepared, and suddenly alone.

Sebastian has been the first lieutenant of a dangerous gang of vampire thugs for centuries. A growing desire for a quieter life has led him to recently retreat from his sworn brethren in search of peace and privacy. Leaving behind his bloodied past, however, won’t be as easy as simply walking away.

Someone wants them both dead.

Halo Of Ashes by Gavin Ashside

“About Halo Of Ashes:

Centuries after the Old World has crumbled, an immortal king’s perennial quest to annihilate an ancient superhuman brotherhood is given fresh life when the existence of a new member is discovered. An elite force of soldiers is dispatched to the city of Magran, crown jewel of the Western Lands, on a mission to conquer them and capture him.

In this new world of drudgery and hardship, morals and decency have taken a backseat to wanton greed and violence. Amidst the decline of humanity after the cataclysmic event which destroyed the world, a prophet had emerged to lead the people back into faith. A century after his disappearance, few pockets of civilization continue to follow his teachings and the uneasy peace is only ever just shy of descending into chaos.

A youngster with troubling occultist gifts who fights to gain control over them.
A fiercely spirited but disreputable young woman who struggles with independence in a world controlled by men.
A kindly healer with guarded secrets who attempts to manipulate love into his coldly logical existence.
A stoic lawman, in over his head, who is saddled with the task of uniting a country.

They must each step up to face the seemingly insurmountable threat confronting their domain. The lost prophet’s words must be spoken again:
“There is no wall so strong that it cannot be broken by will. There is no enemy that cannot be vanquished by faith. There is no victory without struggle.”

Fledgling friendships are forged into bonds of steel and unlikely heroes are born from the fires of war as the Western Lands unite in arms against an empire built on tyranny and fear.
