Southern Sorcery #1-3: Renegade Realms, Outlaw Oracle, & Sword Slinger
The complete Sword & Spirit Trilogy in one box set
Secrets lurk deep in the southern swamps. Elijah Hatton just discovered three: His stolen birthright, an ancient weapon, and sanctified moonshine.
But secrets always come at a price. For young Eli, it could be his very life.
Or worse... the lives of those he loves.
——-
Born in another realm, the boy lost everything, his family, his kingdom, even his true name. But his enemies made one mistake: they didn’t kill Eli.
Rescued by a Green Beret, he grew up in the Deep South. Taught to hunt, fish, and live off the land, his life was straight out of a country song. Until now—
——
Armed with the Truth, the young man sets out on a path to reclaim his kingdom — with righteous determination and enchanted six-guns.
Not to mention the flaming sword that once guarded Eden and moonshine transformed into a holy, healing sacrament.
But will it all be enough?
Because the ones who killed his parents are keenly aware of the Prophecies. They’ve sensed the return of a sacred magic, which marks the dawn of a long awaited age:
The Time of Reckoning, when doorways to other worlds are reopened. And all that’s needed to rule every realm is a certain elixir, a legendary blade, and the blood of an orphaned Prince.
Thus the showdown begins: They’re tracking down Eli, while he’s gunning for them. With the fate of the fallen realms caught in the crossfire.
Elijah Hatton: Elven Prince by birth, Southern by the grace of God!
Read this faith-filled fantasy today. A coming of age tale where magical realms and blood betrayals collide with a modern backwoods Georgia.

About the author
John Stacy Worth
11 books4 followersThough John Stacy Worth may write from a Christian world view, as he once told his wife, " ...This ain't your Mama's Christian Fiction."
His books have no Amish folks (cool as they are), no 1800s Western setting with a focus on romance (and Western Romances do indeed rule). His fiction is more like, "Did you ever wonder what a Behemoth was, and how you might kill one?" Or, more importantly, "What's Leviathan taste like?"
And such crucial questions as, "Can a vampire get saved? What were the Nephilim really like? What happened to those Cherubim and that flaming sword guarding the entrance to Eden?" And, "If you could travel through time to witness the crucifixion and resurrection what would you tell the disciples?"
John Stacy Worth has been writing and illustrating stories like these since he was old enough to trace comic books. He grew up in rural Georgia, reading every Tarzan novel he could get his hands on, then moved on to Asimov, Tolkien, Orson Scott Card ... you get the picture.
Since those days (way back in the twentieth century) it's rumored he served in the U.S. Navy (14 countries and, some say, about every island in the Caribbean), spent a year undercover as a High School Science Teacher, then a Chemist for Merck Pharmaceuticals, and (according to certain sources) he's now at a Nuclear Power Plant.
What's known for sure is that he's happily married, somewhere back in Georgia, with two awesome sons. He still likes to draw and make up stories, loves God, and talks about Jesus if you give him half a chance.
His books are just beginning to show up online; He's also rumored to promote his fiction at http://jsworth.com/. And hey, if your mama is that rare and precious type that occasionally wonders "What's up with Nessie?" or "You know, I believe that Bigfoot critter might be real...", send her his way. This might be your Mama's Christian Fiction after all.
