Crystal Fire

by Mike Cooley

Eleven years have passed since Jingli witnessed her father’s murder at the hands of Adan. Eleven years since the battle of Faltir Island, where the madman Denz was killed after mortally wounding Larissya and Talos. Still the warrior sleeps, in the ancient ship buried in the side of a mountain, with Talos at her side, frozen in time against inevitable death if they should be awoken. But Li is ready to change all of that. She is ready to follow in Thoren’s footsteps and free the warrior from the grip of fate. They say it’s impossible. But she has a plan. A dangerous plan. A plan that may well cost her her life, and that of her friends.

About the author

I have been writing science fiction and fantasy stories for many years. My writing has an edge to it. I enjoy exploring the dark and surreal landscapes of the mind.

My first fantasy novel, The Crystal Warrior, has just been released. I am currently working on book two in the series.

I also have a science fiction collection called Skin of Giants.

I grew up in Washington State, went to college in New Mexico, and now live in Minnesota. I am an Engineering Consultant (nerd) for a large retail corporation during the day, and a fiction writer / musician at night.

I live in the suburbs, just north of Minneapolis, with one wife (dancer), one kid (boy), and two cats (fat).

[Mandy White · Rating 5 out of 5]

A satisfying end to the most unusual fantasy series I have ever read. It's both sci-fi and fantasy all rolled into one, with plenty of action and a cast of colorful characters. I just wish I hadn't finished the final book so quickly because now it's over. I couldn't put it down once I started reading. I'm tempted to grab a copy of the omnibus so I can immerse myself in the strange and mystical world the author has created, without having to stop in between books.
