“My name is Rogond, and I am a mortal man. My first mistake, so everyone tells me, was in giving my heart to an Elf—especially one so impetuous, fire-hearted, and feral. My second expecting her not to get us all into trouble up to our necks…” Gaelen Taldin does what she knows is right. And she always knows…or so it would seem. Rushing headlong into a difficult situation, she will do what she must, and, as usual, it will be up to Rogond to come up with a plan to get them both out of it. From the creator of the beloved Elfhunter trilogy comes a tale filled with adventure, drama, and humor—a story taken and expanded from the pages of the original Fire-heart. Whether familiar with the trilogy or not, readers will enjoy this somewhat light-hearted addition to the Elfhunter saga. Reader age 10 and upWord approx. 45,000
C.S. Marks has often been described as a ‘Renaissance woman’. The child of an English professor, Chris has always loved classic literature as well as epic fantasy, and decided to try her hand at writing and illustrating an epic series. The result: The very successful Elfhunter trilogy, which has sold over 40,000 copies both in print and e-book form. This epic trilogy has garnered awards (Reviewer’s Choice Best Fantasy, Best Series) and nearly 200 reviews. She is now hard at work on an exciting new Alterran series, the Undiscovered Realms.
A former field biologist and avid horsewoman, Chris holds a PhD in Biology, and has competed both nationally and internationally in the sport of endurance riding. She is a full professor of equine science at a small liberal arts college in the midwest. She is in demand as a lecturer and presenter at conventions, academic fairs, and publishing workshops.
While Chris has enjoyed an ample measure of success as an independent author, she is now looking forward to a long and productive relationship with Parthian Press, bringing her wonderful Tales of Alterra to an ever-widening group of appreciative readers of all ages.
