Rune Of The Apprentice

In a world where magic and technology have merged, those who control Runes control everything.

In a world where magic, technology, and nature have merged, the few who can control Runes hold dominance over all of creation. All believe that Aleksi, a sixteen-year-old orphan, was blessed to be born with a Rune embedded in his palm, but that’s only because they don’t know the truth—Aleksi’s Rune is so powerful it’s killing him. Asura, a brutal emperor who uses Runes to conquer entire continents, will stop at nothing to kill Aleksi and claim the boy’s power for his own. With Aleksi’s Rune burning its way through his body and assassins hunting his every step, his survival depends on discerning ally from enemy and learning to tame the competing forces of light and dark within. With the burden of his rune haunting his days and the prophetic whispers of a young captive priestess illuminating his nights, Aleksi will be able to unravel the mysteries of his past, rescue the girl in his dreams, and challenge the most powerful warlord the world has ever known only if the one thing keeping him alive—his Rune—does not kill him first.

Falina is the apprentice to the greatest wizard of her world, the Crystal Realm, but her talents in magic is nothing legendary. When her teacher, Lord Cristar, mistakenly hands her the wrong errand Falina goes out to do the impossible; dragging along a very reluctant swordsman, Kilian, on the adventure. But this tale isn't about the end-results as much as it is about the journey along the way, infallible faith, and friendship. Can Falina find a way to enter the ever-moving, existent/non-existent Eternal Door to the Kingdom of Forgotten Realms? Or will she and Kilian wander aimlessly in vain hope? Will Kilian go insane from the ridiculous mission, or from the equally ridiculously goofy Falina? Will YOU join them on the Impossible Mission, or wander and wonder what might have been...?

Not all is as it seems within the ancient fief of Meane Manor. Eccentric recluse, Sir Jonas Pring, is Master of the century-old, secret brotherhood, the Guardians of the Runes of the Deathless. When one of the fabled Galdramerar, the grey mares favoured by the Valkyrs, is born to the best of his broodmares, he is convinced that he is the chosen warrior, destined to win the Great Runes. But time and age are against him. The filly, Kyri, forms an enduring attachment with thirteen-year-old Caz Wylde and Sir Jonas accepts Caz as his successor and teaches him all he knows about the runes and the God who rules them. But Caz has ideas of his own, and they are soon locked into a bitter rivalry that will divide the Guardians and threaten their loyalty to the Oath of Allegiance. When Caz discovers why his beloved mares have been bred, he realizes he must fight to save them. With the help of Kyri and her mother Bryn, Caz’s favourite horse, he wins the first of the Great Runes. But for every gift the God demands payment; the greater the gift, the greater the sacrifice that must be made in return... This anthology explores the time-honoured themes of love, life, death and retribution solidly grounded into everyday 21st century life. It marries the mysteries of quantum theory with established myth and will appeal to teen readers who have a passion for fantasy fiction and horses.
