This is the story of Connor and Renee as they fight through curses and magic to keep the bonds of their love strong. A mage curses Renee in a paralyzing manner where she can see the world but cannot move of her own free will. Connor searches for a way to end the curse and ends up paralyzed from the waist down. The trials of their life test them in ways unimaginable. Through friendship and perseverance, they find that love is stronger than any other magic. I would like to thank the Dargon Project for making this book possible. At http://www.dargonzine.org, you can find the original stories. I pulled the numerous short stories together and created this book, set in the world of Rhilla. This story takes place many years after the War of the Gates with the Hylnan.
Mark Murray works in the computer field and also writes novels. He has written short stories for the E-Zine, Dargonzine (http://www.dargonzine.org) and has been published by Arctic Wolf Publishing (http://www.arcticwolfpublishing.com). He also has several self published novels out there.
When not working, he can usually be found studying martial arts. Mark currently resides in Ohio where he loves outdoor activities, traveling, good food and quality coffee.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. It sometimes seemed disjointed because of being a collection of short stories. But, when the reader thinks of it as different episodes or perspectives of a larger story, it works.
