“Andalon Awakens”
Many years from now, in a world in which we have all been forgotten, the Caldera of Cinder erupts and Andalon descends into chaos. Pirates and outlaws ally against tyranny as magical powers awaken at alarming rates, unraveling the plans of the evil Falconers. These dark administrators harvest children who could potentially manipulate the elements, stealing their abilities for a darker purpose. The heroes of this tale include Eusari Thorinson, kidnapped and sold at a young age. She must choose vengeance against those responsible for the pain she endured in evil hands, or choose to challenge the Falconers beside Braen Braston-a quiet outcast from the northern kingdom of Fjorik. Across the continent Robert Esterling fights to come of age and struggles with physical limitations while leading a civil war against his usurper brother-the leader chosen by the Falconers. He must decide the fate of thousands of refugees from the west, the hated and feared Pescari and their powerful goddess of fire.
Follow these unlikely heroes as they face political intrigue and work through personal barriers. Read along as they learn to use their powers without destroying the very people, they feel compelled to save. Gasp as they discover a much more dangerous foe than Andalon ever dreamed.
“Andalon Awakens” is an emotional ride that will lead you to laughter, tears, and gasps along the way. T. B. Phillips is a craftsman who toys with your heart and leads you by the hand through expert world building, putting you inside each of his characters.
