Inhaltsangabe

The world has never beheld natural born Wycaan twins. Their potential is unknown and their connection mysterious. Senzia and Ilan are young and unready to face an experienced and relentless enemy. Their teachers are dead. What they have is each other. Prince Shayth Shindell is scorned as the not-King. He has lost those who helped him redeem himself and fought a guerrilla war dragging his army and enemies across the land. But now there is nowhere left to go. The people of Odessiya look to him as his closest friend looks the other way. But his time has come. He can run no more. Mharina lost her mentor and her lover. Her mother grieves the family she has lost and her father is far away, even when by her side. Mharina is the most powerful person in Odessiya, but she is young and alone. Love, she will learn, can be as powerful as the magic that stirs within her. Like magic, however, it nourishes both good and evil. Seanchai is a shell of his former self, his memory erased but for the weight of the violence he caused. He clings to his duty to protect his family, but they are dispersed and in danger. He must face a mighty and vengeful enemy without his power or will to live. But Seanchai was once a Wycaan Master. He will do what must be done: one last time.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alon Shalev never imagined writing epic fantasy novels. With three social justice themed novels published, his connection to fantasy was tenuous - the rite-of-passage of Tolkien, Brooks et al - long forgotten under an avalanche of academia and a passion for social justice. Born and bred in England, Shalev grew up in the vibrancy of London learning about politics, social justice and soccer. After university he helped create an intentional community - Kibbutz Lotan: a brave social experiment to build a environmental, egalitarian intentional community in the inspiring Arava desert, a part of the Afro-Syrian Rift. In 2005, he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, He is the executive director for American Jewish World Service in the Western Region, a global human rights organization that empowers the most marginalized people to stand up for their human rights and erase poverty. His family endure with difficulty his immersion into the world of writing and the time it takes away from family. But they were integral in the journey that Seanchai and his friends embarked upon, sitting around the campfire every summer, playing their part as the story unfolded. While on a family vacation in 2011, the eldest (then 11 years old) son complained when he saw his father whip out his laptop and begin to write. After convening a family meeting around the picnic table, a compromise was reached: they would write a story together, about elves, dwarfs and noble quests. And so began a new adventure: from political and social activism fiction to the coming-of-age world of fantasy. At The Walls Of Galbrieth went on to win the Eric Hoffer Book Award for YA and over next five years, Shalev presented a fresh manuscript to his sons while around the campfire or snuggled in a tent while on their summer camping trip and subjected himself to these harsh critics. In 2011, Tourmaline Books signed Alon Shalev to what became a six-book commitment. Calhei No More, the sixth in the series, will be released in the fall of 2016. In 2015, at the magical source of the Sacramento River, the two teenagers, now towering over their father, listened to the final story. Calhei (elven children) No More was an apt title and not just for the characters in the series, but for those who inspired their existence. Written as a Young Adult epic fantasy series, these stories resonate with readers of all ages, telling of a reluctant hero who holds friendship and freedom above power and magic.
