Mythological Universe: Tinge of Inner Energy

by
Leon was an ordinary boy with everyday life until a fateful day. From that day on his entire life, his entire reality changed. However, this also was the change he always wished for. Taking the novels he has always been reading as a guide, Leon and his friends began to take their steps in their new reality. In their world inner energy does exist. More than that, different races also do exist. All those mythological races that could only be found in fantasy worlds, in fact, were also living with them, unbeknownst to normal people. Those dreamy magical abilities, which everyone had dreamed of at least once in their lives, also do exist. Is that all? What if mightier beings also exist? Were they truly alone in that boundless darkness? Are they sure they are the only ones out there? What if there were highly technological, alien races existing somewhere far? What if those civilizations with mind-blowing technologies also are nothing more than cattle in the ever-expanding universe? This universe is where strong rules with iron-fist. And this is the tale of a low-tier race rising against the all-mighty Gods with their own powers, trickery, and ambition. This also is the tale of completely ordinary children without anything different to tell creating their own tales.

Tales of Splendania – A Golden Wish

by

Dive into the beautiful and magical Kingdom of Splendania! This is the first book in the new fantasy adventure series for children age 8+, and fans of How To Train Your Dragon, Earthsea and The Wizards of Once.


“This book reminded me of Aesop’s Fables in that the world-building is in-depth and vivid, and there are a lot of fantastical elements. Including a sword imbued with magical power and pixies leaving breadcrumbs for an enthused Vanadae, which is especially interesting because the story alludes to a big magical future for the princess.

Tales of Splendania: A Golden Wish is an entertaining and magic-filled read that promises more excitement in later books.” – Rosie Wylor-Owen, Author of The Rogue Valkyrie Series


About The Story

In this ancient and mystical land, the most marvellous and dangerous magical creatures roam the lands and skies. The beautiful and valiant Princess Vanadae must find a way to protect her beloved Golden Unicorn from the most dangerous creatures of them all — the people of Splendania themselves. All of whom are completely hellbent on capturing and killing magical creatures, the Golden Unicorn most of all.

Vanadae must find and protect the majestic Golden Unicorn before Magnus the Mighty, her father and the High-King of Splendania becomes the first to slay this wondrous creature and ensure his rule over the three realms; Theos, Valastry and Ovamthia.

Will the Golden Wish, granted once in a lifetime to the members of the royal family, cause the malevolent Witch of the Woods to come out of hiding and continue her vengeance against the royal families of Splendania? Will the courage of Vanadae’s brother, Prince Galderon, protect her from the dangers in the Spellbound Woods and set them on a path to fulfil their destinies?

This debut novel from T.O. Griffiths is perfect for all the family to enjoy together.

The sequel, Tales of Splendania: A Heart of Ice, is coming soon.


Recent Reviews:

“This book is so creative and the author really does have a way with his words! His descriptive writing leads your imagination through a magical journey of fantastical monsters, intriguing characters and marvellously enchanting kingdoms – it kept me fully engaged and eager for the next line, page and chapter. The only downside to this book is that there’s not more of it. Engrossed from the off and already yearning for the second book. Seriously well done T.O Griffiths!” 5/5

“Absolutely loved this book, I love fantasy so I bought this book for myself, but I’ll definitely be buying it again for a friend’s daughter! Looking forward to the next one!” 5/5

“My daughter tried everything to get out of reading her books. Since she was given this book everything changed. This book is a great fantasy book, captured her imagination and she reads it every night before bed. Lovely to see her enjoying what she is reading and showing this much interest. The book itself has over 100 pages, we choose the paperback version, the letters are large so it’s easier to read for beginners and the pages aren’t white but in ecru colour which we much prefer. The story is very engaging and lets imagination loose. The wording is smart and for everyone who loves unicorns, dragons and fantasy this is a top-shelf book not only for the little ones! Definitely highly recommend to all my friends and family to get one as totally worth to get one!” 5/5

“My 2 kids loved the book and were disappointed that it had to end – hoping for a follow-up edition soon – highly enjoyable and helped their reading too!” 5/5

Meet T.O. Griffiths

Born and raised on a beautiful farm overlooking the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons on the border of Wales and England, T.O. Griffiths grew up fascinated by animals, sharks most of all. He was lucky enough to be surrounded by farm animals – including the magnificent peacocks – and a stunning view. As a boy, he used to write short stories and poems, somewhat inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

With a large collection of swords, axes and armour himself, his fascination with weaponry has helped inspire certain characters T.O. Griffiths has created in Splendania.

With a busy job and life moving forward, time to focus and complete the book became a labour of love for T.O. Griffiths, but something he was determined to accomplish.

The story coming into existence was completely spontaneous; he was asked to make up a bedtime story for his girlfriend to help her sleep. It was not helpful, however, as he was then up all night, writing it down instead of finishing the story for her, until now.

Tales of Splendania had been rattling around T.O. Griffiths’ head for many years and the story evolved and swayed this way and that, and now, he is extremely excited to share it with you and hopes you enjoy it as much as he has enjoyed creating the World of Splendania.

Rivers Run Red

by

In the Nine Kingdoms, lords and churches dance to a song of war and murder. But unknown to the players, the song is changing. The Tainted One has returned; harbinger of a cycle of destruction as old as humankind itself. A kingdom is on the verge of collapse; humankind is on the fringes of annihilation – but the lords and ladies, the holy men and the apostates, the great and the small; all just keep spinning with the music.

Nihm is a young woman, living peacefully on the edges of the wilds. But as the hordes descend upon the Nine Kingdoms she finds herself at its forefront, in a race for survival. Where truths will be revealed and her world will change, challenging who and what she is.

Renco is a mute, raised by an outcast from an Ancient Order. His master hones his mind and body to a fine edge. But to what purpose?

Join an epic fantasy and follow Nihm and Renco as their journey unfolds. Can two people change the fate of a world?

An enthralling High Fantasy adventure that will engage your heart and mind and leave you wanting more. Great for readers of JRR Tolkien, Raymond Feist, Robert Jordan and GRR Martin.

Meet A D Green

Hi, AD here,

I’m a writer of epic fantasy and I love it. It means I spend a lot of time in my head (probably too much if I’m honest) not only imagining my world but living the stories.

It’s pretty cool. I get to be everything; good and evil and all those fuzzy grey in-betweens, I cast magic, die heroically, plan epic battles, mess with and experience every emotion you can imagine. Get to be moral and immoral, do stupid things for the right reason and succeed when doing the wrong thing but hey, sometimes life is like that. Right?

Oh, and I get to make up new religions, races, people and magic systems that feel natural. I map build, create a history, plant a few hidden eggs along the way and plot the inevitable twist no one saw coming.

But apart from that – it is a grind….a b&llache of teeth grinding, rehashing, reviewing, rewriting, timelining and continuity checking. I love it all.
I hope that you will try my work and even more that you enjoy it. I would love for you to leave this mundane world behind for a few hours and visit mine.

You can find me on my website (yeah dude/dudess – I have a frikin website!). You can also find me on twitter @adgreenauthor and something similar on Facebook or whatever it is called now.

The Elements of the Crown

by

She wasn’t supposed to become so powerful.
She wasn’t even supposed to survive.

In an empire divided into three rings, Talise is from the lowliest and most dangerous outer ring. To escape that life, she just has to do three things.

1) Attend an elite academy for manipulating the elements of water, air, earth, and fire.
2) Become the most powerful student in her year.
3) Prove her magic is the best in a competition in front of the emperor himself.

Everything goes according to plan until a handsome and rich young man shows up with just as much skill as her.

She has to win. She has to hate him.

But when the competition falls apart, the emperor forces them to work together instead. Their growing attraction only distracts them from dark truths that the empire has hidden for too long.
