The Secrets of the Boggy Marsh (The Aelfin Prophecies, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The adventures begin;

For millennia the Aelfin were the guardians of their world. The peoples of Foinse looked to the Aelfin for guidance, protection and leadership. Then, inexplicably, the Aelfin changed, becoming cold and arrogant and withdrawing from the affairs of the world.
Having been declared a criminal and a traitor by his own people, a young Aelf has been on the run from the Aelfin for over eighty years. After avoiding capture for all this time, he has found a home in the village of Damanta Mallaithe. The village is the home to outcasts, exiles and those who need a place to hide. Everyone here has a past and secrets to keep. The one rule of the village is, never ask about your neighbor's past or what it was that caused them to be exiled.
On a bright autumn morning, the Aelf and a pair of Leprechaun boys are lured into a dangerous fog bound, prison swamp, called Boggy Marsh. Captured by the Witch who rules over the swamp, the companions are forced to complete tasks at her bidding, leading to the reluctant undertaking of an ancient Aelfin prophecy.
But first, they have to escape from Boggy Marsh, while being pursued by an angry Dragon and her army.

The Secrets of the Boggy Marsh is the first volume in an epic fantasy series.

Autor

The Author, Barry Dunn lives in Sydney, Australia, with his wife and children.
The The Aelfin Prophecies series began their published life under the name The Adventures of Paddy and Seamus. While writing the third book in the series it became obvious to me that the original series name was no longer reflective of what the bigger story had evolved to become. So, now that I am finally publishing that third book, I am also taking the opportunity to rename the series.
The Stories started life at our nightly story telling time when I ran out of books to read to my young son. Having exhausted Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway Tree and The Wishing Chair books (a number of times over) and finding that the Hobbit was a bit too serious and advanced, I started to make up my own tales.
I wanted to give my son a fantasy story that had the elements that I so enjoyed in fantasy adventures. I wanted fantastic places with weird creatures and characters that were different and most importantly, fun. And I wanted to give him the continuity of characters and worlds that comes with sequels and prequels, where the characters feel like old friends.
Every night at bed time the story would pick up where it had left off the night before and would always start with "When we last left our heroes", followed by a quick reminder of where the story was up to.
Since those early story telling nights the simple fairy tale has evolved, and a whole world has been populated with odd and wonderful creatures that have grown around the original story. And like the tales from those authors I have loved so dearly, Brooks, Eddings, Feist, Salvatore and of course Tolkien, the stories have grown to fill a number of books.
The Secrets of the Boggy Marsh is the first in a series of five books, telling one continuous story. The Aelfin Prophecies continues in the second book, The Broken Angel, where the secrets discovered in the Boggy Marsh start to unravel.
And now, after a long delay, I am finally releasing the third book in the series, Closing the Gap, which see the characters moving into a full blown epic fantasy.
As always seems to happen with fantasy tales, the stories get bigger and more involved with each new book. And so it is with the Aeifin Prophecies. Book four, The Agents of Purpose is well under way and will take the characters into ever more dangerous challenges.
