I’ve been busy working on the release of my debut Young Adult Fantasy, A Trinity of Chosen: An Age of Avarath. This is meant to be the first book in a longer series, but can easily exist as a stand-alone.

The cover of A Trinity of Chosen by JP Behrens. The first book in the Ages of Avarath Series. It depicts three children and a large, blue creature looking out over a landscape. A village is below them and a volcano is in the distance.

The idea behind the structure of the series is based on The Chronicles of Narnia, The NeverEnding Story, and The animated Avatar Series.
