Worm by Steve Foreman


#gypsyshadow #dragons #fantasy

A fantasy adventure story of epic proportions, this quest tale is filled with memorable deeds of bravery, selfless determination, courage and unassailable love, set against a background of war, sorcery, betrayal, bloody conflict and great tragedy. The story is populated by a huge cast of diverse characters, including heroic warriors, fantastic creatures, evil beings, huge monsters, and unexpected and comical allies.


Wandering in the ancient woodlands of Eria, sad and alone after being cast out of his village by a cruel and tyrannical chieftain, the weakling named Worm meets up with Grimbald the Enchanter. Little does Worm know that this is no chance encounter, for Grimbald has chosen Worm to set out on a long and convoluted journey fraught with danger at every turn, which propels the boy into a dark world of evil and terrible hardship; for Worm must go north to the savage land of Vulcanstark in search of the lost Chalice of Caladain; a quest that, if successful, will cast peace over the land of Eria and bring about the restoration of the old Kingdom . . .

The Heart and the Crown by Stephen M. DeBock


#gypsyshadow #fairytale #childrens

Whenever the beautiful Princess Mallory so much as bats her eyes, all the knights in the kingdom take notice, but none so much as Sir Nicholas. Thus, when Mallory sweetly asks him to kill a dragon for her, he is eager to do her bidding.


Meanwhile, in the woods far from the castle lives a witch who also has reason to want the dragon killed: a dark purpose known only to her. Every day she sets out on a secret mission, leaving her poor servant girl to clean and cook and keep her hovel in repair.


The dragon, the servant girl, the witch, and the knight are all destined to meet in a battle for their lives, one in which the knight will discover that things are not always as they appear—not even his adored Princess Mallory.

Sword's Call by C. A. Szarek


#gypsyshadow #checkeditout #fantasy

For generations, the Ryhans, ruling family of the Province of Greenwald, have been keepers of a sword rumored to possess enough magic to defeat kings. Lord Varthan, a former archduke and betrayer of the king, covets the sword and invades Greenwald. Lady Ceralda Ryhan, daughter of the murdered duke, gains the sword and flees, trusting only her white wolf, Trikser—magically bonded to her. Cera needs nothing more to aid in her fight.


Jorrin Aldern, half elfin and half human, left his home in the mountains of Aramour to find his human father who disappeared twenty turns before, but finds Cera with Varthan and his shades on her tail instead. His dual heritage and empathic magic will tempt Cera in ways she never thought she’d desire. But can he convince her trust and love can pave the path to redemption—or will the epic battle end in tragedy, and evil conquer them all?

Journey by Sarah Deckard



Disguised as a commoner, Princess Victoria learns lessons in self-reliance from a variety of people—her fairy guardian, a family of gypsies, a kind woodsman, a lonely ferryman, a baker-woman with a sad past, her daughter with an uncertain future, and a wise herbalist.  Victoria grows in wisdom, will power, courage, and independence as she journeys.  Still, the memory of her belovéd rises at time, testing her resolve.  Is she developing her inner strength for herself or ironically because that’s what Brendan wants?  Will she find her betrothed or perhaps someone else?  Will she wander forever or find a place where she belongs?

Fenella and the Magic Mirror by Mark Henderson

Fenella is officially a damsel, but she’s the despair of her parents, who want to marry her to young Sir Mallicose. Big, muscular, dark, scruffy and bold, Fenella would rather chop logs and shoot arrows than embroider a tapestry, and she isn’t interested in Sir Mallicose at all. Her younger sister Felicity—delicate, pretty, shy and retiring—loves embroidery, loves Sir Mallicose, and hates Fenella. When the terrible dragon Faffer arrives in the neighborhood, wreaking havoc and stealing livestock and maidservants, Sir Mallicose goes to fight him—and is captured. Fenella sets off to rescue him, despite the fears of her friend Harold the Steward. Her only weapons against Faffer the dragon are her axe . . . and her magic mirror, which shows you the thing you most greatly fear. Will they be enough? And if Sir Mallicose is rescued, which sister will he marry?
