In this greatly anticipated third installment of "The Reaper's Seed," much will be decided. Corred's fate or future hangs in the balance. Will he reach Olwen before the refugees of the East are swallowed by Ahriman and his army? Will the brethren of the Northern Villages be able to resist Hildan with the help of Madoros, Lord of Horses?
With the Sword from Amilum now in his grasp, and the odds in his favor, Mornoc stands on the brink of conquering the Lowlands once and for all. But there is one man standing in his way. There is one man he has not been able to kill.
With the hope of generations resting on the edge of a knife, all eyes are on Shole. All eyes are on Remiel.
Growing up, I started telling stories as early as three or four years old. My imagination was so healthy, I am told, that I often acted out full-scale battles between good and evil in the yard . . . by myself. In classic boy style, they were of course violent, causing some concern for my mother. Fortunately, I turned out okay.
As early as second grade, writing was a highlight in my education. I even looked forward to research papers. I relished most the chance for creative writing. Despite this enjoyment, I never tackled anything as ambitious as a novel in High School.
After two years of working toward a BA in Accounting and competing for the varsity swim team at Penn State University, something snapped. One summer afternoon, I grabbed a notebook and a pen, sat down at the picnic table on my parents back deck and started writing my first novel. As it would happen, I still haven’t finished that story, but it re-awakened in me the desire to write fiction.
Fast forward more than ten years, several experimental young adult fiction projects, many vacations from disciplined writing, and I have at last completed the first book in a larger story entitled “The Reaper’s Seed.” The story will likely be four books in all. And, of course, I have several other novels in partial states of completion, on paper and in my head. As a part-time writer, that’s life.
Love this author! What really touch my heart and soul about this vol 3 was the truth that God keeps His promises.....even if, it seems like a long time has past! He WILL keep His promises.
The characters are great as is the allegory fantasy story. Many Christian values are shown to be applied in various situations.
I love that tho the characters sometimes struggle with faith, but they never completely lose heart. Also some characters symbolize satan, or the fallen angels, Jesus, believers and the lost...in powerful ways.
The only bad thing is I have to wait now for the author to write vol 4 sigh! I highly recommend this series. The author does not quote scripture ( the only other down side)! Nevertheless, the Bible, doctrine, application of scripture is actually quite clear, even so.
This whole series blew my mind. I found myself laughing out loud, holding back tears (of joy and sadness). Book 3, Where Eagles Fly, wrapped up one of the best epic stories I've ever read. Jeffrey Clark's Christianity shines through beautifully in allegories that are subtle and not over bearing.
I absolutely loved reading this series. The parallel between your promise and our promise was superb. Thank you for a truly great series. I look forward to reading more of your works.
