The Order of Witch Hunters is the sole force of civilization in The Land, it's Hunters often serving on road crews for lack of work in their proper business. And they wish such was always the case.....but in every age, those who serve the devil arise, and when they do, the Order must hunt them. In a country of harsh winters and blue rivers and dark pines, protected by healing colds from the poisonous breath of the witch-land to the south, blasted into poison by some unknown musical disaster when the musical scientists sang the wrong way, I, Solomon Pendar, am facing an irruption of witch activity unparalleled in our history. All the covens are led by the Witch Queen, who plans to find the Axis of the crystal spheres of the heavens and play upon it, and the tremendous music this causes will enforce her will upon the world.So I am commanded by the Grand Master....to find it first. And find it I will, even if I have to enter the spiritual poison of the witch-land and face the Queen herself.

Far away on the opposite side of the world are a cluster of islands known as the Philippines. Into this tropical, crowded, steaming place enters an eccentric farmer from the backwoods of New England, and not only does this technophobic homebody succeed in both going there and returning by winged dragon, narrowly escaping Godzilla and various Philippine monsters, he even wins a bride.This travel book, narrated in humerous and frequently philosophical format by the adventurer himself, is a tale of my expedition to the Philippines in 2016, and my observations of the culture and condition of the island of Mindanao.

700 years ago, the world ended. In a blast of golden power from his Eleven Rings, Eldarendar quenched technology and slew everyone technologically inclined, upwards of billions. Eight Cities alone survived with technology and population intact. Now the Pope, ruling over Rome, has sent the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller to see why the City of Poland has been radio silent for centuries....and why Eldarendar is threatening to destroy it if it does not change. He finds a city divided by a high fence, where men and women drove each other out, and have been separated for a hundred years, using artificial conception and artificial robots to sate their longings. But the men long for true social intercourse with women, and when the Grand Master entices a girl across the Fence, hilarious scenes ensue, for neither gender has seen the other for a hundred years.

The Land of Mellenia, an ancient world once filled with magical kingdoms and silver-haired knights, is now a complex high-tech civilization. But when the last of the Silver-haired decays into a sex-obsessed whippersnapper, Father Time himself drags him back through the ages, showing him the strife of the Two Queens. The Queen of Heaven and the Queen of Earth strive; all down the ages they have fought, and when the Sleeper wakes, over his body shall their last battle be decided.Buy the famous Arheled series now Arheled: On Temple Fell: https: //www.amazon.com/Arheled-Temple-Fell-James-Farrell/dp/1506159427/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1476209475&sr=1-2&keywords=Arheled%3A+On+Temple+FellKindle: https: //www.amazon.com/Arheled-Temple-Fell-James-Farrell-ebook/dp/B00SJEPWNO/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1476209475&sr=1-1&keywords=Arheled%3A+On+Temple+Fell

BALANCE. BALANCE. EVERYTHING IS BALANCE.This dark tale is given by me, Stevie Paddock, from the revelations of my deceased aunt Hepzibah Mather, who was the slave and mistress of both her father and brother. For my father is the son of Jayhaya.Here the grim history of the sorcerer that has haunted the village of Old Street and whom the Catholic farmers have battled for three hundred years, is at last revealed. How he arose out of the wizard family of the Mathers, how he raped my grandmother and thus begot John Paddock, how he gained his power by a horrible feast, and many other details till now unknown about our past history. Make the Sign of the Cross before you read this, for this is a tale of the rising of a sorcerer.

Before the Light of Christ penetrated the North, the things of the twilight reigned supreme. But the twilight is a terrible place to wander in, when undiluted by the daylight. Living stones demand blood, and streams demand life as payment for being drunk, and living hills twist into curses all wishes they grant. The Mellachantra has gathered these venda into one place to be secure in the change of the world: Fairyland. Except that land was staked out by imprisoning the kingdom of Nordomba in a glass coffin deep beneath the Cidatel.Seeking to lift the curse Death fixed on her for necromancy, Kary finds herself mired and lost in the perilous and horrible fay-country, escorted by Ordombi Gromae. And war is brewing, between the nastier and more benign elements of Fairyland, who are divided over whether to resist or adapt to the dreadful Light breaking out from the South as priests advance into the wilderness.This fourth Tale is a prequel, taking place eight hundred years before THE STONE-KING.

John Paddock does not tell anyone who his father is, but all of Old Street knows perfectly well he was not a Paddock.
