Book excerpt: ENTER THE ENCHANTING WORLD OF ENCËSTHRYN WHERE HEROES ARE MIGHTY AND MAJICK ROAMS. IN THIS AGE, AN EVIL KING-DERANGED WITH HIS INSATIRABLE DESIRES-HAS RISEN, PLUNGING THE REALMS INTO DARKNESS AND DESPAIR. HIS MINIONS CONTINUE TO RAVAGE THE LAND AND FOR ALL THAT SUFFER UNDER THIS TIME OF OPPRESSION, BOTH THE PROPHECY AND THE PHOENIX ARE A SYMBOL OF HOPE. AIDEN: the fifteen-year-old peasant boy whom the tale encircles. Despite his simple life, his own heritage is as mysterious to him as the nearing of manhood. When he is called by prophecy and named the Phoenix Tamer, Aiden is thrust into a treacherous adventure laden with sacrifice. Ultimately he seeks to put an end to the dark reign of terror. ROWANHAWK: the phoenix who bonded with Aiden. Before she was reborn, her three tail feathers were stolen. Without it, her power is greatly diminished. Since only one phoenix can exist at a time, her wisdom and insight are largely based on her wild instincts. Together, both phoenix and Tamer stumble through a whirlwind of adventure, betrayal, heritage, and unrequited affections. Their own survival is gauged by their intuition, and danger awaits them amidst the tempest of dark fiends at their throats. They must yield to their precarious fate, if they are to conquer evil.
