Ahnalian: The New Beginning(1 The Prophecy of Korham)

While tending to his beehives, Zephraim is startled by a vision on the horizon that shakes him to the core - DRAGONS! - a swarm of draconian locust so great as to block out the sun. In an instant, his entire world will change, seared away by the pungent, flaming acidic bile spewed forth from their cavernous mouths as they strafe the land below, destroying everything in their path. As predicted in the Prophesy of Korham, written long in the past, this is AHNÁLIAN: THE NEW BEGINNING, a time where Evil has been locked away for centuries, sequestered in an eternal slumber by the magic of a powerful sorcerer. Years pass and the consciousness of Evil awakens, scheming from the shadows to plant the seeds that will ultimately release it from confinement. A series of unlikely, yet fatefully linked events, set in motion by the bite of a serpent and fortified by the union of a human and a serpentine demigod, reach a peak as the ambitious yet fiendish Lord Roga rains destruction upon the countryside by way of draconian air attacks. In desperate response, the Tendiran kingdoms unite and assemble a militia in preparation for the next attack, only to realize the futility of ground defenses against such a formidable aerial offensive. So, under an enchanted cover devised by a wizard of suspect abilities, and forever hindered by a persistent nuisance tag-along princess, the young warrior Elden leads a rag-tag fleet on an unlikely naval assault upon Roga and his aerial forces. The struggle culminates in a classic battle between good and evil written from a fresh perspective with an unexpected twist.

About the Author :
A native of nearby Connecticut, Tim has been a resident of Warwick, Rhode Island since 2007, shortly after meeting the love of his life, Colleen. After graduating from Killingly High School in 19... ah... a long, long time ago, Tim spent a year at Penn State, two years at Quinebaug Valley Community College, and two years at New England Institute of Technology before settling in to the world of manufacturing. With a little push from his wife, he finally received his Bachelor's degree from Eastern Connecticut State University at the age of 45 and his Master's from Harvard University at the age of 50. Professionally, Tim works as the Director of Safety for a large international cleanroom construction firm headquartered in Massachusetts and gets to travel North America, visiting job sites to ensure everyone is being safe. Although that pays the bills, Tim is most at-home at home, building, fixing, or creating something. Whether it is upgrading a bathroom, building a new deck, or installing a new linen closet, there is always a project happening at home. And when the home projects are finished, Tim can often be found at Tranquil Touch Mind & Body Spa in Conimicut Village, implementing one of Colleen's visions for her spa, or driving the back roads of Rhode Island and Connecticut with Colleen in their 1964 Corvair Monza Convertible (top down, of course). In his spare time, Tim likes to dabble in several creative outlets. Author. Poet. Lyricist. Woodworker. Engraver. Rocket Scientist (OK, maybe not that one). Some might say 'Renaissance Man', but Tim prefers 'Jack of all, Master of none'. And, sometimes, he even sleeps. Tim lives in Gaspee (Warwick) with his wife Colleen and three rescue cats, Ukiah (KiKi), Maleficent (Mally) and Luna (LuLu). Together, Colleen and Tim share four children, Trevor, Ryan, Tyler, and Kaetlyn, who are each out and about, living their own lives as adults. Tim and Colleen also have two granddaughters, Thea and Lilia, the apples of their eyes, that live nearby in Connecticut.
