Spark of Defiance
by Autumn M. Birt
Games of Fire Trilogy, Book 1
Genre: Epic Fantasy
352 pages
Six months after a tragic war, the world of Myrrah has found peace. But many of the heroes have not.
Wandering to avoid memories of lost friends and past actions, Zhao reluctantly returns home to fulfil a promise to his sister. And to proclaim to the elders of his people that their treatment of Air Elementals is wrong. His homecoming is met with hostility but not for the reason he expects. It is far worse.
To protect his gifted niece from a life of hardship and subjugation like the one he endured, Zhao must rescue his sister. Even if she doesn’t wish it. Quickly caught once again in events greater than he can handle alone, Zhao struggles to prevent a personal conflict from erupting into a larger battle. But friends are distant, and more than a few are wrestling with new problems of their own.
Welcome BACK to the world of Myrrah full of elemental magic and epic fantasy adventure! A new trilogy begins in Games of Fire with book 1, Spark of Defiance.
Excerpt from Spark of Defiance"We are looking for three of our people," Phet said from the back of his horse."They travel with an infant and one whose heritage is unknown to us.""They are here and asked for refuge," Teyak said without elaboration. He'd been selected to speak for the Nifail, but the youngest chief of the steppes did not stand alone. Three imposing warrior chieftains stood at his back. Zhao, Ria, and Laireag watched as well, using the safety invisibility offered. Safety made all the more secure without Kattan accompanying Phet to potentially sense the use of Air Elemental power."It was by my request that you sought them," Phet argued."Yes, we sought them. We never agreed to give them to you," Teyak said.Phet shook with anger, unable to answer. "That isn't the agreement made," another man answered. "We offered coin for their return. They have escaped just punishment.""They told us of this 'punishment,'" Teyak replied. "We, the Nifail, do not think it is so just. Punishing a mother and father for having an Elemental child is not justifiable.""I am surprised to hear that, considering the Nifail do not hold those born with gifts in high esteem," Phet said."That is none of your concern," Teyak retorted."And how we treat our gifted people is not yours," Phet challenged.A hiss ran through the Nifail watching the exchange. Teyak glanced at those behind him, returning his gaze to Phet with a half smile. "We disagree. When you hunt your people onto our land and they seek protection with us from you, I would say it has become our concern."Teyak's statement was met with grunts of agreement from the Nifail. The horses of the Tiak danced under the tension of their riders."We will go, but we will return tomorrow. Hopefully, you will rethink what you have said this day," Phet said."Go. It would be best if you do not return," Teyak said with his hand on his knives.The small group of Tiak turned and galloped through the high grass while the other chieftains clapped Teyak on his back."Oh Zhao, what have you started?" Ria asked, releasing his hand.Zhao let the illusion of invisibility go as he shook his head, too distressed to answer."I wonder where they are going?" Laireag asked, gaze remaining on where the Tiak had disappeared."It might be best to wonder how many there are. It would, at least, give us an idea of how the fight will go," Zhao answered glumly."That is an even better reason to go. I'll be back," Laireag said with a grin. Laireag's form flowed upward as he transformed into a raven. The blackbird winged into the sky, chasing after the riders. Ria's gaze followed him."I was hoping you'd be better, you'd both be better by now. It’s been six months," Ria said, green eyes sincere. She turned and walked toward the crevasse hidden deep within the encampment of Nifail along its rim."I didn't mean for this! Are you over the war and what happened?" Zhao asked.Ria paused, turned to speak, and then kept walking. Zhao followed, torn between apologizing and curiosity at what Ria almost said. Finally, she sighed."I didn't see the fighting the way you did. I was on a boat with Ci'erra looking for the Sphere of Fire. I didn't watch anyone die, not a Priest and not Beite. I only came back in time for the funerals. So yes, Zhao, I suppose I am doing better than you and Laireag, or Darag. I've been busy trying to keep the Orders from separating and from the former Priests and Priestesses distrusting Spirit Elementals and the Kith. I built a home too. But I didn't do anything to help my friends," Ria said in a rush that left her eyes shimmering with tears.Zhao pulled her into a hug. "You came now.""After you are already in trouble!" Ria said with a bit of a laugh.
Gates of Fire and Earth
Games of Fire Trilogy, Book 2
415 pages
Success will destroy elemental magic. Failure condemns this world and the next.
Named Guardian of the Elemental Spheres, Lavinia seeks the lost gates to the spirit realm and their ancient guardians. But some of the guardians have left their duties and those that have stayed may prove as dangerous as her enemy, whose wrath threatens the world. To end an ancient punishment inflicted on them by the Goddess for their role in a forgotten war, the Ashanti will conquer this world and that of spirit to gain power over death.
Lavinia must close the gates to stop the Ashanti, even though by doing so she risks ending all elemental powers. And the act has consequences greater than the ancient guardians imagine.
But one gate has a new guardian as well as the old, and the last time he saw Lavinia, he tried to kill her before she stole his power. And he’s been seeking revenge …
Continue this epic fantasy journey begun in book 1 of the Games of Fire trilogy, Spark of Defiance. Friendships are tested as what is sacrificed is more than some are willing to give. Welcome back to the world of Myrrah and meet the Elementals of Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and Spirit who shape it. Pick up book 2 of the Games of Fire trilogy, the Gates of Fire & Earth, today!
A New Goddess
Games of Fire Trilogy, Book 3
The time has come to end their punishment or the world.
For nearly destroying the world in an ancient war, the Ashanti were cursed by the Goddess Mhyrah with lifespans of less than a decade. To regain normal lives for his people, Beh’kana, the Ashanti King, will conquer death by gaining control of the source of all elemental magic: the spirit realm. Even if he must burn the world to do so. After all, he already killed his closest friend to gain the Ashanti throne.
But his defeat at the Earth Gate nearly cost him his life.
Lavinia did not seek to be named Guardian of the Spheres when she touched each to gain control of elemental power. But now that choice has propelled her to being the key to stop the Ashanti. She controls the gates that allow magic into the world. And she must close them or the Ashanti will cross into the spirit realm and gain power beyond imagination, enough to enslave or destroy the world they once sought to rule.
But with the closure of each gate, an elemental power is lost.
Only two gates remain open. Magic is faint. Just when the fight grows the most desperate. To win needed help, Lavinia has promised a man who once tried to kill her best friend that she would open the gates and restore magic again.
It might give them the power to fight the Ashanti or it will give their enemy the world.
Discover the end of the epic fantasy journey begun in book 1 of the Games of Fire trilogy, Spark of Defiance, and continued through book 2, Gates of Fire & Earth. The struggle for the power over life and death as well as all the elements come to a dramatic conclusion. Can a cruel ancient punishment be ended without destroying magic or the world? Welcome back to the world of Myrrah and meet the Elementals of Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and Spirit who shape it. Pick up book 3 of the Games of Fire trilogy, A New Goddess, today!
