Book Description
"A beautiful read." - Robin Roberts, as seen on Good Morning America Fifteen-year-old Iggy is good at three things: languages, witty retorts, and running from a fight. When a guy pulls a knife on him during a high school argument, all the banter in the world isn't enough to save him, so Iggy resorts to his backup plan-dipping. But before he can make his escape, the locket he always wears around his neck heats up, and someone tackles him from behind, pinning him to the ground. Iggy's never thought of himself as a fighter. He's spent his life running from anything that can't be solved with a quick one-liner or a snarky comeback. But as he learns more about the strange place he's landed, one thing becomes abundantly clear: in the World on Skye, they need a hero. And Iggy just might be the one they're looking for, even if he's not so sure. Reviews: ★★★★★"D.A. Mucci does such a great job of creating a universe that is entirely fantastical yet believable and relatable. Ignatius and the Swords of Nostaw has an almost Harry Potter-ness to it in that we are guided into this world through the eyes of a character who is learning of it the same as the reader and who is a character very similar to its target audience. But, it is also entirely different in a good way. I have honestly not taken to a fantasy novel as much as this one in quite a long time. The author is an excellent storyteller and writer." - Kate Leboff ★★★★★ "Right from the start this story is breathtaking in how much detailed surrounding the kingdom of Skye... a once luscious and beautiful place that had been filled with animals and people. Now it's a kingdom with no beating heart. In desperate for a hero, a teen named Iggy finds himself becoming the hero these people need. Mastering a set of growing magic skills in a challenge but its mastering the skills in handling the towering secrets that are claiming Skye is something else altogether. A wondrous journey in a finely painted world. Highly recommended."-Lori Goodreads review ★★★★★"The author managed to create quite intriguing magical world full of fantastic beasts, some of which are not what you typically expect from beasts - they are mighty warriors, living in seclusion, whose abilities in battles are legendary. The world building is really nice and takes your imagination to amazing places. Combine this with an awkward, introvert and insecure boy who gets swallowed into the greatest adventure of his life, one which is too big for him to understand at a time, but he grows and shows his worth and true power. Definitely recommend this book."-Lia Goodreads review

Book Description
The oil got used up. The planet got warmer. But a few short centuries are not sufficient time to change the human psyche. Stressed lives-all lives nowadays-confronted with nature remain as Thomas Hobbes described them: solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. But for those willing to risk everything and set out into The Nothing, one hope remains: a portal to another world. A better world. Some won't make it, and those who do will never be heard from again. But they risk all to try. To find salvation, to find a place where they could finally rest, would be enough.

Book Description
In Cellagor--a land segregated between humans and Elves--fear, manipulation and war are inevitable. Nearly one hundred years have passed since the War of the Fallen, a cataclysmic battle between human and Elf which left both races teetering on the brink of extinction. Now, the Age of Tranquility is finally nearing its end, and the northern King of Havelmir is hungry for power and revenge.The Elven peace of mind remains unchanged--that is, until the Kingdom of Rhan is threatened by unknown forces. Soon it becomes clear that the tranquil Elven existence is once again at risk of crumbling. However, even with the element of surprise, the road to victory is not as smooth as it may seem. Ulterior motives are afoot, ancient magic is resurfacing, and an unlikely friendship between two young men may just pose the biggest threat of them all.
