Six Concentrics

Book One of The Six ConcentricsThe Green Blade. For Benmelo, it is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, a badge of honour marking the end of a fourteen-year apprenticeship and the beginning of his life as an honourable and respected Master Hunter of Hurna's guild.And yet, with the prize comes responsibility, and tradition demands that Benmelo must make for himself his own domain; a domain somewhere within the six concentric rings of land which form the boundaries of a civilised world he knows very little about. Benmelo, master hunter o' the green, is about to discover that all is not what it seems in the Six Concentrics, and that the world is not as civilised as the good folk of Breeyanshar believe...( A map of the lands is available at bit.ly/6cmap ) GJ Kelly was born near the white cliffs of Dover, England, in 1960.

Where's the hardship?With the three of Nerrenglade racing for the Barre Hills Turret in hopes of preventing the destruction of the fifth ring and all else besides, it's left to Benmelo, Master Hunter of Hurna's guild, to employ all the skills acquired in the mastery of his lore in order to fulfill this seemingly impossible quest.Alas, nothing in the land of the Six Concentrics is ever what it seems, and finding the Shadesmith is but the first of many perilous steps on a path that leads to the Vargos Eyrie...

The Six Concentrics Book 3A week has passed since Benmelo stunned the Court of Nerrenglade by returning the sword of Elleese to the golden hand in the Great Hall. The road north is open, Orefield Head liberated, the power of Elleese is spreading throughout the Six Concentrics, and the Bandavinor's meticulous plans, centuries in the making, are in ruins. Yet, all is not well...Rocked by revelations and shunned by Gladings, the master hunter abandons Nerrenglade, and together with his friends Paj and Sambal Arlock, rides for North Turreton. Hoping for military aid from Rickerd Erlson, Benmelo soon comes face to face with the harsh political realities of life in the six rings.With few friends and even fewer allies, Benmelo rides for the fifth northwest to seek advice from the Shreev of Sennenglade, Tarla Sebateen. But there's a reason for a dream-seer's prediction that the hub would be girdled by fear, and the reason is far more terrifying than Bay'ah Shades or corrupt Bandavinor wizards fleeing the mist-light of Elleese...

Peakpuddle, a town of some three hundred people in the Fifth Concentric, west. The town is blighted by a curse, and the curse has a name: Quarlo Bregg, corrupt wizard once of the first ring.Benmelo has marked Quarlo Bregg for death, but the town is big; big enough to smother the master o' the green's keen senses and render him all but useless in the hunt for the Bandavinor. And then there's the nine Shaded Griffelax serving their mystic master, too...Benmelo needs a plan, and has the germ of a desperate idea which might succeed in liberating Peakpuddle, but only if his friends Paj and Sambal have the courage to play their parts, and can hold their nerve long enough to see it done.Alas, Quarlo Bregg has a curse of his own waiting for Benmelo, and many forces are now converging on the poor fifth-ring town. Not all of those forces are friendly, and there's more to Peakpuddle than meets the eye... GJ Kelly was born near the white cliffs of Dover, England, in 1960.
