Fables of a Lost World

Three Books. Three Epic Series. Stormwielder For five hundred years the Gods have united the Three Nations in harmony. Now that balance has been shattered, and chaos threatens. A town burns and flames light the night sky. Hunted and alone, seventeen year old Eric flees through the wreckage. The mob grows closer, baying for the blood of their tormentor. Guilt weighs on his soul, but he cannot stop, cannot turn back. If he stops, they die. For two years he has carried this curse, bringing death and destruction wherever he goes. But now there is another searching for him - one who offers salvation. His name is Alastair, and he knows the true nature of the curse. Magic. Rebirth The United States have fallen. A new power has risen in North America, but now a terrifying virus is spreading across the countryside. Once infected, people change, mutating into superhuman creatures known as the Chead. Wherever they walk, death follows. Desperate to defend its citizens, the government launches the Praegressus Project - an experimental program to enhance the human race. Elizabeth Flores was just a normal girl - until the Chead slaughtered her parents and made her a fugitive. With winter approaching she seeks refuge in the city of Sacramento, but the hunters are waiting. Abducted off the streets, she's spirited away to a facility deep in the Californian mountains. There, Liz wakes in an iron cage - and she's not alone. In the opposite cage, Christopher Sanders stands wrongfully accused of treason. Along with Liz, he has just become a volunteer in the Praegressus Project. Stripped of their rights, they will soon learn there is little separating humanity from the monsters they seek to destroy. The two must work together if they want to survive, but even then, their chances are slim. Of course, only the lucky get to die. Oathbreaker A century since the departure of the Gods, the Three Nations are now united beneath the Tsar. Magic has been outlawed, its power too dangerous to remain unchecked. All Magickers must surrender themselves to the crown, or face imprisonment and death. Alana's mundane life has just been torn apart by the emergence of her brother's magic. Now they must leave behind everything they've ever known and flee - before the Tsar's Stalkers pick up their trail. Tasked with hunting down renegade Magickers, the merciless hunters will stop at nothing to bring them before the Tsar's judgement. As the noose closes around Alana and her brother, disgraced hero Devon finds himself at odds with the law when he picks a fight with the wrong man. The former warrior has set aside his weapons, but now, caught between the renegades and the Stalkers, he is forced to pick a side - the empire, or the innocent.

Review :
"I do believe that Aaron Hodges has really managed with this his very first book to begin an epic fantasy trilogy which i would compare with some of the best sagas i have read including Jordan's wheel of time series!" - Lana Turner "Mr Hodges offers us a fresh look at illegal genetic research with concern that are kidnapped, their parents charged with treason and "presumably* killed. Of course you'll have your evil doctors and one with a long overdue" good" doctor. It is great ode to James Patterson, 's "Maximum Ride" series. If you are looking for some excellent books to enjoy, i HIGHLY recommended this book." "When the gods left, the Tsar filled their vacancies in the world, first by bringing war, slaughter and then eventually bringing order to the three nations. Then he brought an end to all magic unless authorised and controlled by him. And so evil got inveigled into the land as the Tsar tightened his hold of the people under his reign. Devon was a war hero who eventually disliked what he became during that war. So he retreated to a farm, still hating himself...until an altercation with the Tsar's guard had him fleeing. Till he met a fiery woman willing to lock eyes with the devil himself if it would assist her protecting her young brother Braydon. An epic fantasy by Aaron Hodges is something that tends to lure you into an obsessive tendency to read everything in that series you can lay your hands on. Time and again. But this is only the first book in the series! Damn!" - Manie Kilian
