"NILITHIA"
copyright
2007
Set
in the Dark Ages, this is the story of Nilithia, a little girl and her
brother, Ezekiel, who
have
lost their home,
their foster parents, and their
town all in one terrible afternoon.
The
Paxx
Hoard (a traveling, murderous caravan) lead by their leader,
Zorn, have pillaged their
town of Quince and killed nearly everyone.
The
children's only hope is Allagem, a
young man who'll become a full
wizard one day...but until
that day, he carrys with him a personal tragedy.
After attempting to stop the Paxx Hoard and failing, he is
left with the
responsibility
of caring for the two newly orphaned children.
Fast-forward 20 years and Allagem has
become a full wizard. He is bound
and determined to
save the same town again from the returning Paxx
Hoard. Nilithia and Ezekiel, Allagem's wards and all grown up,
and are
preparing to help him save
the town.
Ezekiel
is
now a
wizard-in-training under Allagem's tutelage, and Nilithia
uses
her extraordinary gift as a 'nempath' (a
nature-empath) to communicate
with the
trees, earth, and wind.
What the trio
don't know is that the Paxx Hoard has a surprise for them!
Malachi!
Allagem's former wizard friend, protege, and nemesis has joined forces
with Zorn and wants the fabled Tantarian Stone that Nilithia has.
Rumor has it
that the Stone can give any wizard indestructibility
when held, and it is a prize
worth killing over.
As
the
battle of Quince commenses, Allagem is mortally wounded in a
fight with
Malachi, and lies dying in the local
tavern. In a desperate
act of saving his life,
Nilithia convinces Ezekiel to conjure a risky
time-travel spell to reverse the events
of the day, but the
pair unexplainably land 20 years in the past instead!
What follows
is a race against time itself and the
meeting of their younger selves in the past! Will
they distrupt the balance of
things to come? Will Allagem be
saved in the future? How will Nilithia and Ezekiel
get back to the present? And what about the
Tantarian Stone?
This is a rich, epic tale of adventure and magic
coming full
circle as wizards-in-training 'turn' into full wizards with
astonishing and sometimes horrible results, ruthless
warriors with single-minded destruction on their minds,
children with extraodrinary abilities growing up to face
themselves in the past, and huge creatures conjoured by
evil spells on the attack!
