Blackfire: The Girl with the Diamond Key (Volume III of the trilogy) concludes the story of four unlikely teenagers who are summoned by a mysterious stranger to save another world being destroyed by evil. Elli Adams and her friends Beatriz, Jamie, and Alex must overcome challenges of blindness, self-confidence, and Down syndrome as they struggle together to fulfill their mysterious calling as Bairnmoor's last prophetic hope. Join them as they adventure through singing forests and stardust valleys full of mystical, glorious, and ferocious creatures, all of which test their resolve in the face of overwhelming adversity. Eckblad's novel wrestles with the age-old questions of Good and Evil and the nature of the heroic life, even as it provides a fresh perspective on how we can have faith in the Good against every indication that Evil is prevailing―and how each of us can be immensely more than we seem to be. ""With the conclusion of the Blackfire trilogy, James Eckblad has broken new ground in the world of fantasy literature. His universe is full of exotic and magical creatures, the plot is set against a background of metaphysical seriousness about the conflict between good and evil, and above all, his central characters display the heroism of the ordinary. They are truly differently abled, and in their case, ""differently abled"" is the simple truth. They find their power as they work together in compensating for each other's difficulties. Read it for the story, read it for the philosophy, but above all, read it to recover your faith in the strength and goodness of human beings."" --David W. Johnson, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary ""In this splendid third volume Elli and her friends reach the culminating moment of their quest to save from forces of Nothingness the beautiful and mysterious world of Bairnmoor. Against seemingly insurmountable odds and their own self-doubt, we see their hard-won bravery and love of the Good forged in fires of adversity. And with them we learn too the redeeming power of imagination and hope. A wonderful conclusion to a stirring epic "" --David J. Gouwens, Brite Divinity School James Daniel Eckblad has served as both minister and trial attorney, with degrees in law and theology from UW-Madison and Yale. Having raised four sons in Wisconsin―on Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Rowling―Eckblad now lives with his wife, Mary Ann, in Chicago.

Fitz-James O'Brien capitalised on the success of his predecessor Edgar Allan Poe in writing disturbing stories with demented protagonists. This collection of three tales shows his mastery of the macabre. 'The Diamond Lens' tells the tale of a lone scientist's discovery of a microcosmic world within a drop of water, and his growing obsession in particular with the beautiful Animula, a fair maiden within this world which he can see but never enter. The insights O'Brien gives us to the scientist's uncompromising pursuit of knowledge at any cost foreshadow the mad scientist familiar to science fiction readers in a multitude of works. In 'What Was It?' an invisible man is discovered by residents of a boarding house. Predating H.G. Wells' 'The Invisible Man' by nearly four decades, the residents' capture and investigation of the creature blends the fantastic with the scientific as they seek rational explanations for this extraordinary phenomenon. 'The Wondersmith' is a macabre tale of an embittered toymaker who seeks revenge upon the society that has persecuted him by creating demonic mannequins (a precursor of robots) and imbuing them with life in order to slaughter the masses.The tale is a fantastic melodrama in which the dominating and cunning Wondersmith is offset by the unassuming and unlikely hero Solon the hunchback, who is in love with the villain's daughter.
Fitz-James O'Brien (1828-1862) was an author and is often considered one of the forerunners of today's Science Fiction. While he was in college he had shown an aptitude for writing verse, and two of his poems Loch Ine and Irish Castles were published in The Ballads of Ireland (1856). His earliest writings in the United States were contributed to the Lantern. Subsequently he wrote for the Home Journal, the New York Times, and the American Whig Review.
