Book excerpt: After learning they’ve inherited property from reclusive grandparents he hardly knew, Steve and Sarah Miller decide to take a few days off to investigate their newfound fortune in the quiet Idaho resort town of Coeur d’Alene. The inheritance turns out to be beyond their wildest dreams, a vast mansion with lovely gardens. While exploring, they discover a unique set of carved doors on the top floor of their new home. Disguised as a simple door, a portal is accidentally activated and Steve and Sarah find themselves staring at the amazing sight of a lush forest beyond. It’s a tantalizing decision: to check it out or to run. Curiosity getting the better of them, they step through, the portal disappears, and they are on a one-way journey to a land where people have strange powers and where mythical creatures abound. Too late, they discover that they are confronted by dragons, griffins, and bugs of nightmarish proportions. To get home they decide to enlist the aid of the local king and queen. Oddly, they are expected at the castle, and it is revealed their arrival had long been foretold by an ancient prophecy which bestows upon them the status of Royal Bodyguards to the young crown prince. Now, they are stuck on a foreign world where danger lurks everywhere, and the newly appointed bodyguards must find a way to return home and to keep the young prince safe.

Book excerpt: It’s a lazy summer day in Coeur d’Alene when Steve and Sarah Miller get a visit from one of the most powerful ancients in Lentari. Something is dreadfully wrong and only they can solve it. But what the problem is, Eion cannot explain. They must go, and soon! They arrive to find nothing the same as they left it, a few months earlier. Alliances between dragons and humans, between dwarfs and others … none of those exist now. None of their friends exist. The king and queen are two people the Millers have never heard of, and the entire kingdom is not prospering as it once did. As more and more mysteries unfold, the terrifying truth occurs to them. Someone has altered the past in order to change the present. And Steve and Sarah have a pretty good idea who that is. They will need to find and confront an old foe who nearly killed Sarah, and they must find a way to undo the harm he created. How will they stop him—this time permanently?

Book excerpt: Nearly a year has passed since Steve and Sarah Miller discovered Lentari through a magical portal in their own home in Idaho. Mikal, the young Lentarian crown prince, is happy, healthy, and adapting well to living in modern America with his bodyguards. However, their peace is soon shattered when Steve gets a frightening message—the queen has been kidnapped and their help is needed! They leave Prince Mikal safe and secure in Coeur d’Alene with Annie, Sarah’s sister, and Tristan, his tutor. But, as kids will do, Mikal sneaks through the portal to try to help, and his presence in Lentari becomes known. And it’s the crown prince who is the real target of the Lentarian king’s enemies. Rescuing the queen, battling thieving invaders, outsmarting repulsive trolls, and trying to stay one step ahead of someone who is bent on acquiring Mikal at all costs, Steve and Sarah must use all the powers at their disposal to keep their young charge safe. Teaming up with Rhenyon, the captain of the king’s guards, they set out, little knowing they will encounter trolls, griffins, and an evil wizard who is intent on stealing their special powers.

Book excerpt: Steve and Sarah Miller find themselves back in the manor house—but it’s 120 years before their time! The portal which delivered them into this mess is one-way, leaving them no way back to their present lives. Sarah has been kidnapped, Steve must return to Lentari for the special crystal necessary to create the two-way portal, and all of this is crucial to Steve’s very existence. He meets his great-great-grandfather, who reveals that he is Lentarian, which means Steve has Lentarian blood too. Traveling between worlds was challenging enough. Making the journey in another time becomes dangerously complex when the realization strikes that anything they change now will have far-reaching repercussions into the future. But if Steve can’t save Sarah and get them back to the present, the history of Lentari as well as their own fate, are in jeopardy.

Download or read book Riddles at work in the early medieval tradition written by Megan Cavell and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capitalising on developments in the field over the past decade, Riddles at work provides an up-to-date microcosm of research on the early medieval riddle tradition. The book presents a wide range of traditional and experimental methodologies. The contributors treat the riddles both as individual poems and as parts of a tradition, but, most importantly, they address Latin and Old English riddles side-by-side, bringing together texts that originally developed in conversation with each other but have often been separated by scholarship. Together, the chapters reveal that there is no single, right way to read these texts but rather a multitude of productive paths. This book will appeal to students and scholars of early medieval studies. It contains new as well as established voices, including Jonathan Wilcox, Mercedes Salvador-Bello and Jennifer Neville.

Book excerpt: The invading pirates from Perz have set their sights on a new goal in Lentari, capturing the dwarven Narian Power Hammer, which promises supreme physical strength and longevity to its owner. But trekking through the enormous underground cavern system that the dwarves call home does not come naturally to men of the sea, and Captain Flinn has his hands full, keeping his crew in line as they search for the elusive magical hammer. Flinn has one thing going for him, the Alchos Stone, which can make his men, his ship and himself invisible. The thing that will work against him, however, is that he’s being tracked by Steve and Sarah Miller and their Lentarian allies, the dragons. Can the Millers catch up with Flinn and his men before they find the Hammer, create massive destruction, and escape? And can they retrieve the powerful Fang of the Red Oskorlisk, which Flinn has already stolen, the talisman that gives the dragons their power, before the pirates break away and take to the sea again?

When both of them have the same unsettling dream, a vision that something bad is happening in Lentari, they go—without a second thought. They learn a terrible sickness is consuming the dragon population, affecting their powers, starving them, killing them. Steve and Sarah arrive with two goals: help the dragons find the source of the ailment, and don’t tell the king they suspect it’s a curse or spell of some kind. Pryllan is distressed to learn that her mate, Kahvel, has fallen under the awful spell. Will she be next? Will their young dragonlet child succumb to it? It’s up to Steve and Sarah to travel the land with Pryllan and follow the clues, and then to conquer the evil source before the illness decimates all the dragons of Lentari.

This book was released on 2023-07-13 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The peaceful kingdom of Lentari is rocked by the disappearances of several citizens, and when the latest—a young girl—vanishes, the king dispatches his top aides to find out what’s happening. Piecing together the clues, they ride to a lush forest near the seaside town of Capily where they come across an odd disturbance in the undergrowth. A few tests, and it’s evident the anomaly is a portal of some sort, and the consensus is that they will need the strongest teleporter known to the kingdom in order to solve the mystery of where the portal leads and how it has taken the missing villagers. The only teleporter with this much power is Lady Sarah, the human with the needed jhorun to possibly save them. Sarah and her husband Steve transport to Lentari from their home in America, and as she is studying the odd new portal the unthinkable happens. Lady Sarah is pulled into the portal and vanishes! Steve is frantic, and although he has no idea where she has gone or how he will find her, he jumps through the portal to save his cherished wife. What happens next defies all the known laws of how portals work, as this one sends them to another world—and in another time! Will they find any trace of the missing villagers? And more importantly, will they find each other? Newly edited and re-released! * * * Praise for Jeffrey Poole’s epic fantasy novels: “I loved this book. It had so much imagination to it.
