The Moondial has been broken and the Stones of Power lost. The Laws are failing and the future is thrust into the hands of teenager Peter Calender. He has been tested, been close to death but discovered an inner strength he did not know he possessed. On his journey he has found friendship, discovered that magic is more than a part of fairy tales, and been hunted by forces of unimaginable evil. His life will never return to the innocence of childhood, and his passage into adulthood is unlike any other. Fear, love, death, laughter, betrayal, wonder and joy attend him and his companions.
In Blaze, the fourth part of The Moondial Series, the companions are scattered. The Stones of Power are still to be assembled and the Moondial rebuilt in order to reaffirm the laws that govern the very nature of life on the Seven Worlds.

David M Cameron was born in Leeds in the north of England and has lived and worked in England, Papua New Guinea and Western Australia. Married with four sons, David spent forty years as a teacher and principal, developing a lifelong love of books, storytelling, and the worlds that stories can create.
He writes across several genres, including science fiction, fantasy, mystery, thrillers, young adult fiction and memoir-inspired stories.
David is the author of the six-book Moondial Series, the Gordon Bennet thrillers and the Peter McAdam mysteries. His fiction ranges from science fiction and fantasy adventures to crime, suspense, and young adult mystery.
His Cup of Tea Tales books are very different: humorous, nostalgic, and sometimes poignant stories drawn from growing up in Leeds and the North of England during the 1950s and 1960s. The stories began as part of David's blog and podcasts and developed into collections celebrating an era, a place, and a childhood that helped shape him.
His books include The Moonchild, Rock God, Hell Fire, Blaze, For All Time and Child of Time: The Rise of the Wurm, which begins a new chapter in the Moondial Series. Other books include Dead Men Don't Snore, A Trembling of Finches, Slipshod, Just After Midnight, and Where Wise Men Fear to Tread, along with others.
Blaze is another fantastic installment of the Moondial series. Peter Callender and his mismatched group of heroes find themselves spread across the seven worlds. I felt this book was slightly darker than the other books in the series so far, which I loved. I especially enjoyed meeting the lead antagonist, Fell Craven. The previous books give you get a glimpse of him here and there, but now he's here and ready to wreak havoc. Blaze is a well written and a very enjoyable read, as I have come to expect from this author. I highly recommend the Moondial series to any who loves fantasy with a unique twist.
