The Black Blade Trilogy : A Trans Pyromancer’s Awakening by Alexander Charalambides Available April 16

Author: Alexander Charalambides

You’ll love this dark but compelling set of fantasy tales filled with magic and adventure.

The Black Blade Trilogy is a darkly imaginative, contemporary fantasy as well as a fun read for anyone who’s ever had that fish-out-of-water feeling or been in the wrong place at the wrong time. With firm roots in the story of King Arthur and the legendary sword Excalibur, the story draws on elements of celtic myth to spur the hero on, or as one reviewer of Black Blade puts it “Black Blade is a well written story and has everything from action to paranormal and was very enjoyable to read.” – Bookbub Reviewer Joannee828

A novel is more than the story within it. The way the story is told is important too.

Using various points of view as well as the present tense, Alexander Charalambides takes his readers inside the main characters as the action happens; you’ll feel like you’re right there with American teens Lance and Megan, experiencing the magic and danger first hand as our college student heroes set off on a forbidden quest lead by three elderly and eccentric wizards.

The story is fast-paced and exciting, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing, all the way through short stories featuring the wizards in their youth through to the three full-length novels and one, never before seen novella, Merlin’s Quest, written especially for this collection.

Author: Leonard Tourney

In sixteenth century England, fear of witchcraft abounds. But witches are not the only source of evil, as Dr William Gilbert will discover …

When Dr William Gilbert is caught in an Essex snowstorm, his life is saved by a strange, wolf-like dog. Taken in by the family that owns the animal, he is nursed back to health in an eerie, isolated building with a terrible history, where the cries of a child echo through the corridors at night.

Having recovered, William is pleased to leave the Old Priory, but equally grateful to the husband, wife and daughter that saved him. So, when the women are accused of witchcraft and seem certain to be burned, he feels duty-bound to help them, despite the dire warnings of his father.

To the people of sixteenth-century Essex, witches are everywhere and to associate with them is destruction.

Nevertheless, William is driven to seek justice for his saviours, and as he delves into the case, discovers there is evil at play, of a type far worse than any invented tale of witchcraft. But can he prove that before the next victim dies and the innocent burn?

When a ghostly serial killer torments a young girl, Ryley must put an end to his reign of terror and figure out a way to shove him into the great beyond.

But when a fellow psychic turns up dead, and another one suddenly goes missing, Ryley suspects that it’s not just the ghostly threats she needs to worry about. There’s also a live predator lurking somewhere in the shadows.

As she gets closer to the truth, she’s forced to confront her own personal demons. Her father’s sinister presence is getting dangerously close to her life, the reapers are demanding answers, and the ghostly serial killer wants to add her to his body count.

It’s not a matter of if she’ll die but who will get credit for killing her first.

Can she keep it together long enough to battle the secrets from her past and deal with these new killers before it’s too late?
