CELENIC EARTH: A WORLD OF MIGHT, MAGIC AND MYSTICAL CREATURES A shadow lurks over the earth, as foul creatures attack the villages. The leader of hurorcs and purorcs commands them to attack the southern tribes, and is captured. But Mercius, once known as the Windfarer, finally breaks free after years of imprisonment and sets his sight upon the Asbec College of Elements where an ancient power is rumoured to be hidden. Shadowolf is in his last year of studies at the Azbec College of Elements when word of the escape spreads. Strange things happen and he becomes entwined in a world of mystery and murder, using the power of the elements to survive. And as war erupts, Shadowolf returns home and does everything in his ability to protect the five southern wolf tribes. For his effort he merely frustrates Mercius's plans, but significantly learns that Mercius is subservient to a dark lord; someone more powerful, known as Le'Mar. Between the protection of his family, the loyalty of the Shadow Clan and the new-found love of his life, can he pull himself away to stop Mercius from reaching the potent power node? For neither the elves nor the dwarves can stop him should he gain the power he seeks. Even the dark lord seems troubled. The Masaran Phenomenon approaches, and the "Prophecy of the Windfarer" is upon them. ***### REVIEWS AND PRAISE ###*** “Jooste’s imagination has depth of both scale and scope, with parallels between this imaginary world and the real world, characterised by an interesting contrast between the industrialised evil forces and the ‘natural’ forces of good…” - Thomas Jeffery; NELM News 49, Dec 2008: National English Literary Museum of South Africa “Fans of high fantasy such as Tolkien, Terry Brooks or David Eddings will be well pleased with Jooste’s first novels and foray into the popular genre…He is finding his rhythm and style, doing a great job of making the reader care for the hero and characters; these books will be in my rotation of heavily reread fantasy novels in my bookshelf.” Ellen Hotchkiss; Feb 2009: Lecturer, Milledgeville, Georgia “If you are looking for an epic, sweeping expanse fantasy book to read, then this is it. Congratulations to Shaun Jooste for entering the world of print in the fantasy genre with a tale that will be picked up again and again just so I can immerse myself into his richly described world that is Celenic Earth.” C Melrose; Goodreads review; Jan 2016: Writer, Perth, Australia ***### EXCERPTS ###*** --- Nelnar looked back at the lake and ran to the tip of the falling tide. The wolf howled at the lake. Shadowolf walked to the group of friends as they waited. Then she appeared. Her sharp, curled black hair rose out of the far water first. The hair fell to her naked shoulders and the water from the tips fell over black shell-armoured cups that were strapped around her torso. As her feet finally cleared the water, Shadowolf realised that the only other bodily wear was around her waist of fine weed and pieces of shell to keep it in place. Her legs were bare. “That’s some nice armour,” Lanel whispered, deserving a hit on the arm by Mourna. Shadowolf could tell her strength was in her arms and legs for the muscles, though gentle and soft, were very noticeable. She had finally reached the gaping group. “My name is Shedaaij,” she responded with a sly smile. “I am born of a man and mermaid, twenty-one years ago. I am the only one of my kind: a Merlani.” --- “Nevertheless. Make your way there, and he will provide you with the key to destroy Le’Mar. Or you can continue on your quest, and die.” “I am sorry to disappoint you, but I have a promise to keep,” Shadowolf turned to leave the forest. “And how will you keep it in death? One day you will rid the world of the evil, but only if you heed the dragon’s council. Please, Shadowolf. There is more at stake than your word. Do not face Mercius.” --- Visit Author's website for more excerpts, Kindle Edition, Edition: 3, Format: Kindle eBook, Label: Shaun Jooste, Shaun Jooste, Product group: eBooks, Published: 2015-10-04, Release date: 2015-10-04, Studio: Shaun Jooste, Sales rank: 1710390.
