When Surviving Is Only Half The Battle – Eye of the Storm (Lords of Arcadia, Book Two) by John Goode

Courage is not defined by those who fought and did not fall, but by those who fought, fell and rose again. – Author Unknown Being heroic doesn’t always mean being the bravest or the boldest or the strongest, or even the wisest.

Something Wicked This Way Comes – Distant Rumblings (Lords of Arcadia: Act One) by John Goode

Every fairytale had a bloody lining. Every one had teeth and claws. – Alice Hoffman Welcome to a contemporary fantasy, where fiction becomes fact, and the pages of borrowed imagination become the amorphous fabric that veils the arcane realms from the sight of mundane mortals.
