After being wounded by bandits, he is nursed back to health by Tomiko, a Tengu. Both soon become entangled in a centuries-old plot by the villianous Naga, who are scheming to overthrow the Shogunate.

Elves became slaves and persecution sent many into exile. Time passes and now the empire’s borders have been overrun by the Keli’cairn Horde and civilization is falling into chaos.</p><br /><p>Within the capitol, a group of alchemists and sorcerers conduct desperate experiments in a last desperate attempt to find some weapon with which to save the crumbling empire. But, as riots sweep through the city and the Imperial Court seethes with schemes, thoughts turn more to escape and thoughts of sanctuary beyond the Horde’s reach. A lost Elven Kingdom known as Solace.</p><p><a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/reap-what-you-sow/7637198">http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/reap-what-you-sow/7637198</a></p><p><a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/with-honour-veiled/7625521"></a> </p><p> </p><p>ISBN 978-0-557-103966-</p><p> </p><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><p></p><br /><p></p></span></div>talonspiritcathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14563148588865587311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765250859698846636.post-57963032060649238832009-10-10T16:45:00.000-04:002009-10-10T16:49:19.061-04:00been writing since my teens, and got my start writing fanfiction for <u>Star Wars</u> and <u>TransFormers</u>. <p> </p><p>Since then, I've moved to serious writing in the science fiction and fantasy genres.
