Captured. Sold. Enslaved. Displayed. Keio’s dream of seeing the Golden City turns into a nightmare. He and his friend, Clara, get swept up by Fire Fairies along with the other youths in their village. They’re quickly sold to the local lord. The man seeks something very special that only certain young people possess, and he’s willing to threaten anyone to get it. But his daughter has other plans. Like it or not, Keio and Clara land in the middle of a brewing war. They’re going to have to pick a side soon, and if they choose wrong, their lives aren’t the only ones forfeit. *** This is a standalone short fantasy story. Grab the cheap ebook and add in the audiobook for a nice discount. If you're looking for something more epic, try the Anotech Chronicles. Book 1 in that series is Reshner's Royal Ranger . Interview What makes The Golden City Captives special? It’s a classic story of good vs. evil wrapped in a world full of magic and mystery. Is there a sequel? Not yet. One day, I hope to expand the world as I’m quite certain there are tons of untold tales here. Keio and Clara have a long road ahead of them. This is just the beginning. What theme(s) make it special? Family. Friendship. Responsibility. Destiny. (All the cool stuff.)
