Three hundred of years ago, a group of heroes imprisoned a dark god in a hell dimension known as the Void. Since then, the people of Maghe Sihre have lived in relative peace. Now, a secret war starts at the edge of civilization.
A young man from Earth, Tadgh Dooley, is burdened with a dangerous and impossible power. He is fod sel-onde, born with the ability to warp the fabric of reality. An unknown force draws him to Maghe Sihre and, in doing so, cracks open the Void.
Can Tadgh gain control over his power before it's too late? And what does the appearance of the Sword of Kassandra mean for the people of Maghe Sihre?

Description:
Inviting the fiance home for Thanksgiving dinner takes a turn for the icky. This is one of the first short stories I felt happy with. It's in the horror genre so maybe don't read it and eat at the same time.

| So much fun. One of my all-time favourite books and the start to a phenomenal series. I've read this book at least five times at different points in my life. Fair warning, the attitude towards women is, occasionally, dated with far-too-easy throwing ...more | |

I know it's a classic. I know how much it's inspired the entire fantasy genre. As much as I tried, I could not love this book. It's not a story, plot or characterization issue. It's simply that writing styles have changed in the last 60 years. There's ...more |

“The most fearsome monsters of all may inhabit the dark corners of our mind waiting for us to release them through our believes and gullibility. the phenomenon feeds on fear and believe. Sometimes it destroys us altogether other times it leads us upwards into the labyrinth of electromagnetic frequencies that form a curtain in the area we call windows and stalk us to drink our blood and create all kinds of mischievous beliefs and misconceptions in our feeble little terrestrial minds.”
