Embark on a Mystical Journey in ‘The Last Mage of Erenor’ – a
captivating tale of magic, courage, and the quest for balance in a world
where light and darkness vie for control.

 

In the shadowed realm of Erenor, where magic whispers as a forgotten myth,
a latent power stirs. Lysandra, a hidden mage with a legacy as ancient as
the land itself, is thrust into a destiny that intertwines with the very
essence of her world.

She’s a magnificent sword person and always carries her sword, etched with
runes by her side. Another loyal and constant companion is her Black Wolf,
Shadow, whom she has rescued as a pup.

When her secret abilities are unveiled, Lysandra faces the wrath of King
Draven, the King of Erenor’s city, Tyrannis, oppressive regime. Guided by
the teachings and wisdom of the sage Master Elarion and joined by Aerin, a
hunter seeking redemption, and Feyla, an ingenious inventor, Lysandra
embarks on a perilous quest to rekindle the lost arcane energies.

From the oppressive streets of Tyrannis to the mystical depths of the
SilfrenDeor Forest and the formidable Iron Mountains, their journey unravels
a tapestry of adventure, ancient secrets, and dark forces. Confronting
malevolent creatures like the sinister Shadow Hounds and the corrupted
dragon, The Harrow, they navigate a world teetering on the brink of
chaos.

As the last descendant of the First Mage, Lysandra stands as the beacon of
hope in a land torn between fear and wonder. But can she overcome the
shadows of her lineage and restore the balance of magic in Erenor?

Just as she and her allies manage to beat their enemy, King Draven, and
restore Erenor’s magic, Lysandra and her allies as well as her black Wolf,
Shadow and the Dragon, the Harrow receive the bad news that all of Erenor is
not free from the dark magic that corrupted it.

But this time, the threat is even greater – an unknown evil with power over
black magic and the ability to summon dangerous and ancient creatures.
Lysandra, Aerin, Feyla, Shadow, and The Harrow must set off once again to
confront this foe, a being that could be a Sorcerer or even a Demon.

In a last cataclysmic battle, Lysandra discovers a shocking truth – she has
a connection to this Demon, and her light and dark sides are in a constant
battle for control.

With her runic sword, her wolf Shadow, and the Dragon Harrow, Lysandra
finally manages to slay the Demon and his dark magic. But the victory is
bittersweet, as rumors of danger in Erenor still persist and new creatures
emerge from the celestial fracture.

In the next installment of The Chronicles of Erenor, Lysandra and her
allies will once again face these challenges and fight to bring harmony to a
fractured world.

If you enjoyed stories of epic fantasy, mythical creatures, and thrilling
adventures, then ‘The Last Mage of Erenor’ is the perfect book
for you. Join Lysandra on her quest to save Erenor from the forces of
darkness.

The Scales of Balance, Book 1

 

Epic Fantasy

Date Published: October 24, 2023

Publisher: First Torch Books

Narrator: Landon Soelberg

Run Time: 16  hours, 6 minutes

 

 

“Arena-set action sequences shine … but even more impressive is the
constant political maneuvering, as characters mingle with enemies while
plotting against them. There is, of course, plenty of mystery, and Facciola
amps up excitement with signs of magic, appearances from gods, and
betrayals.” 

— Kirkus Reviews

“A captivating fantasy with strong characters and even stronger combat
scenes … It is difficult to overstate the storytelling prowess of author
Tim Facciola.” 

— Independent Book Review

Peace bought by blood seldom lasts, for vengeance knows no end. The same is
true for mortals and gods alike. Decades, centuries, and even eras may pass,
but the cycle remains. As war and revolution rise again, Zephyrus finds
himself at the center of it all. Chosen by the gods, hailed as a prophet of
liberation, and forged as a weapon to break the kingdom and restore balance
to the realm, hope rests squarely on his shoulders.

If only he could remember….

Enslaved as a gladiator and thrust into a prince’s game of espionage,
Zephyrus has only two clues to help unlock his shattered past: a prophecy
foretelling destruction, and a letter to the enemy king, promising peace.
Now Zephyrus must survive the dangers of the gladiatorial arena, the cunning
fury of the prince’s enemies, and the gods’ torment if he is to
find the truth of his identity and fulfill his fate. But to have any hope of
breaking the cycle, first he must secure his freedom—and not just from
his slavers.

Within this vengeful realm, a queen protecting her kingdom, a prince
defending his father, and a gladiator slave haunted by a prophecy each
contend for their own brand of freedom. But the gods have an agenda of their
own, and they’ll use any vessel—patrician, plebeian, or slave—to
see it done.

The scales must be balanced. By peace. Or by blood.

Invisible boundaries have isolated Cor’s village for centuries. He
accidentally finds a way out.

What he finds outside is a violent and blighted world in decline. He learns
that the entire world has been fragmented by similar boundaries, which are
leeching their power from life itself. Unless something is done about the
boundaries, what’s left of life will come to an end.

That heavy task falls on Cor’s shoulders. Fortunately, he soon finds
friends and fellow wanderers willing to share the load. Together, they
venture across their small, fragmented world into the vast unknown beyond
the boundaries.

What they find there threatens their world … but also just might save
it.

This epic fantasy is Book One of The Wanderers Cycle.

it’s only a matter of time until the next invasion.

world?

Bothvar Beorcolsson

Through fire and ice I will fight to find honor. Whether it be giants or
creatures of the night, I’ll fight. Pain is my comfort, and sorrow is
my companion. Death follows wherever I go. Even the sun hides from my
sight.

Bothvar they call me. My journey isn’t an easy one. It follows a long
and broken road full of the bones of those who I couldn’t save and
those who got in my way. My blades are soaked in the blood of my enemies,
but my heart is left in shattered pieces, broken by the costs of my actions.
All for what? Honor? Glory? I don’t know anymore.

Maybe I have gained honor, but all I have to show for it is pain, yet I
must carry on. I must earn my place among the halls of the gods so I can see
my loved ones again. That is why I carry on to fight again. And I will not
stop until I am reunited with them.

Whether it be giants or the gods themselves, I will always fight on.

Lura Syllana

I will do whatever it takes to save my family. Afterall, it is my fault
they were enslaved. If I had only listened to my father. If I heeded his
words and did what was right instead of what was easy they wouldn’t have had
to pay for my mistakes with their freedom. Now it is up to me to do whatever
it takes to find a way to free them.

Even if it means sacrificing myself and my own freedom. I don’t care
what happens to me. I’ll gladly pay any price to save them.

Of course, I said that, but I had no idea what was going to be asked of me.
What price I’d have to pay. I didn’t know what I’d have to
do to save them. Even so, I’d sacrifice everything to see them free.
Even my own freedom. Even my own soul. Which I will soon find out is the
very price I must pay.

Join Bothvar and Lura as they go through pain and sorrow and climb
mountains and cross seas, all to save and protect the ones they love. Follow
their journey as they discover true love, honor, and glory.

Broken Souls is a Dark Fantasy with a bit of romance. It’s inspired
by Viking culture, but it is no way an accurate portrayal of historical
Viking culture. It takes place within a fantasy world that’s heavily
influenced by ancient mythology and lore of many different cultures among
other things. That being said, this book contains some pretty graphic and
controversial topics such as slavery, sexual assault, death, war, violence,
blood, mental health, drug addiction, and many other controversial topics.
This novel includes The Bound Soul and The Damaged Soul which makes up the
first third of the book.
