The
Salvation of Innocence
The
Bridge of Magic Trilogy Book 1
A
young woman embarks on a harrowing journey to save her world's last
vestige of magical healing in Robert E. Balsley Jr.'s epic new
fantasy novel, The
Salvation of Innocence.
Althaya,
the goddess of healing, wishes to share her ability to help those in
need, providing "empaths," which give clerics the means to
magically heal others-a means that some people fear and wish to
destroy. In response, a dark magic known as the Purge is created to
seek out and eradicate all empaths.
But
one lone survivor remains, spirited away by Althaya and hidden in a
magical stasis field. There, the last empath must remain alive until
the time comes for rescue-but the Purge will not rest until the last
empath is found and killed.
Three
thousand years later, Kristen Rosilie Clearwater is only beginning to
realize her destiny. Having been brought to the island of InnisRos as
an orphan, she has long felt a "tug" toward something she
can't quite understand. But when she begins experiencing the dreams
of a young child, Kristen knows that the two are somehow
connected-and that the fate of the world, and the future of healing
magic, rests on.
The
Struggle For Innocence
The
Bridge of Magic Trilogy Book 2
In
this suspenseful sequel to The
Salvation of Innocence,
the war against evil rages on. This time good must fight on two
fronts to stop a great evil-one strong enough to commit genocide-or
their world will be changed forever.
After
barely escaping death at the hands of the vampire Lukas, Emmy still
faces an even greater threat. The Purge is approaching. Emmy and her
comrades' only chance is to get help from the sentient city of
Elanesse and commit the first assault.
Far
way, another conflict is brewing. Father Horatio Goram must face off
against the power-hungry First Counselor Mordecai Lannian, whose
demonic concubine pushes for war, but the odds are against him.
Emmy's fate rests on this struggle, and this determined priest will
do anything to win.
In
a realm where healing magic relies on a single emissary's ability to
commune with the gods, Emmy's death would have wide repercussions.
This sensational thriller reveals the destructive power evil will use
to achieve its dastardly ends-and the depths to which good must go to
stop it.
The Loss of
Innocence
The
Bridge of Magic Trilogy Book 3
War
has come to InnisRos!
The
Ak-Séregon Stone, stolen by the demon Nightshade, has been used to
force open a corridor between Aster and the Svartalfheim, the home
world of the Dark Elves. The Dark Elf army, led by Nightshade's
father, Aikanáro, marches on InnisRos. Only Father Goram and his
allies, with Queen Lessien's army, can close down the corridor and
break the stranglehold the Dark Elves have on the island of the Elves
of Light.
But
the Dark Elf invasion of InnisRos is only one phase of Nightshade's
design. To ensure InnisRos' human allies stay on their side of the
world, she blackmails Lord Ternborg, leader of the Draugen Pesta, the
Black Death, to invade the mainland from the east. Forced to
collaborate with the mercenary cities of HeBron and Madeira, Lord
Ternborg reluctantly leads three armies into the Forest of the Fey
and the surrounding valley to capture the sorcerer stronghold of
Havendale. Tangus, Kristen, Emmy and the humans now have their own
war to fight on the mainland.
Meanwhile,
deep below the surface, a new threat arises. The sylph are awake and
moving from the depths with one goal in mind... destroy all life on
Aster.
