About the Authors
Ephie (dad) has been writing his whole life. Inspired by his sixth-grade teacher to write a story every week, he enrolled in the writing program at his undergrad and has been writing ever since. He loves the outdoors, music, and opportunities to tell stories. He lives in beautiful Bozeman, Montana, where he works in software development and is active in various community groups.
Celia (daughter) is an avid book lover and packs a novel with her wherever she goes. She developed the book series idea at age nine inspired by a 3rd grade writing assignment. She was born in Vancouver, Canada where her first two syllable word was “hockey”! She, along with her brother, is being raised in the mountains of Montana, where she enjoys art projects, performance art, and her dragon figurine collection.
“A tale that lays steady groundwork for a YA epic to come.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“If you start this book, I predict you will finish it in nearly no time at all, like it is magically unfolding before you.”
“Fast paced adventure in a fantasy world full of magic and lore.”
“I reached the end of the book, hungry for more. Can’t wait for the next in the series!”
“Enjoyable, Entertaining, Engaging!”
“There’s action and magic from page one. . . We can’t wait for the next installment of Amber’s adventures!”
