Chosen

by Gary Stringer

Majaos is a world of magic but not everyone is a professional mage. The people of Majaos – elves and dwarves, hobbits and gnomes, orcs and humans – are diverse in their aptitude for magic, but magic and Techmagic devices are everywhere. Magic is Life. But now the world is threatened by powerful new magic. Old magic. Magic that should be impossible. An Ancient threat has returned. Hiding in plain sight for years, she has learned everything she needs while the world has forgotten its history. At last she has made her move. Eilidh is an intelligent student of magic who solves her problems with brain not brawn. She hates Prophecy and has no real power of her own, yet she is Chosen to save the world. How can she possibly succeed? Maybe she can begin by saving a single life.

About the author

Scientist by profession, I try to give real science concepts a fantasy twist in my writing.

Update for June 2025

The first FOUR books in my Salvation of Tempestria series - Shifting Stars, Gathering Storm, Shadows Fall and Fragmented Control - are now permafree.

Tempestria series

For anyone interested in my earlier work, the Majaos Trilogy may also be found at that same site. Majaos trilogy.

While studying for my B.Sc. in Chemistry, I met a friend who introduced me to fantasy fiction, especially TSR, AD&D type books. Despite all I've read since, that remains my frame of reference for the fantasy genre.

My Salvation of Tempestria of Series, beginning with Shifting Stars is rooted in a updated version of that kind of fantasy world. But it's just 1 world within a wider sci-fi/fantasy universe and the story is told by an immortal girl from the future with a plan to save the world...or possibly end it.

Living in the seaside town of Blackpool, UK, enjoy long walks and theme parks in the summer, and theatre shows in the winter.
