Greenman: Sons of Tara

by N.K. Schlaudecker

Born half-human, half-faery, Liam could never be entirely part of either world, so Tara, the Spirit of the Earth, took him into her care. For thirteen years, he has lived in the safety of her keep in the Otherworld, learning what magic he can, sheltered from the harshness of the surrounding realms.

In the human world, his father, Bracken, faces a cult of madmen and their leader, a twisted monster called Loxias. The cult of the Shattered God is bent on destroying magic, going so far as to plot the capture of the four Elemental Worthies.

Liam's quest begins the night that Loxias breaks through one of the sacred henges, and uses stolen spells to trap Tara and claim her power for himself. Now he must find his father, rescue his mother, and find a way to free Tara before Loxias captures the rest of the Worthies and becomes a new and dangerous god.

Greenman: Sons of Tara is the first book in the Greenman Series.

About the author

N. K. was born in Metairie, Louisiana, and transplanted to Mobile when she was very young. She grew up playing outside, inventing characters and worlds, and reading. Her early interests and imagination led her to start writing as a preteen, a hobby that grew into a passion. She attended the University of South Alabama, earning her B. A. and M. A. in English. She is a 12 year (and counting) member of the Commedia del Arte Traveling Players, a theatrical troupe based in Mobile. They perform period comedies often based on literature and benefit local charities, such as ARF. She lives with a dog, a cat, a rabbit (who claims to be related to the Killer Rabbit of Monty Python fame) and a tank of goldfish. When she's not working or writing, N. K. takes solace in nature and the quiet of the wild places.
