    When Mallon the Undying threatened the land years ago, the elves stopped him—and then disappeared.Now Mallon's followers seek to bring him back to finish what he started.Only the Keepers—storytellers, historians, and magic-wielders—are left to stand against them.Alaric, who betrayed everything he believed to save his wife — and still failed.Will, a storyteller who’s convinced his weak magic makes him useless.And Sini, a former slave girl with unimaginable power but no way to wield it.Can they survive being hunted by dragons, attacked by frost goblins, and betrayed by traitors in their midst?Or will Mallon's minions overwhelm them and plunge the land into darkness?

    It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite—a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.But this will change, for the greatest power comes with knowledge, and the deeper teachings of wizardry have not been utterly lost. The last wizard of the old tradition still survives in solitude, nursing tired grudges and waiting for death.His passing might have gone unnoticed, but for the imposition of a youth too stubborn to accept his refusal to take an apprentice. With a new student comes new hope, and that hope has caused old powers to stir again. That the world will change is inevitable, but the shape of the future is anything but certain.

     The prophecy spoke of Thomas Kestrel: outcast, lord, sorcerer, warrior, and perhaps savior of the Kingdoms — if he survives. In The Legend of the Kestrel, the first book in The Sylvan Chronicles, Thomas escapes the Shadow Lord’s assassins as a young boy and begins to master the Talent and the ways of the blade, acquiring the skills he’ll need to survive in a world of magic and constant danger. As his skill in the Talent grows and he learns the ways of the Sylvana, men and women dedicated to protecting the Kingdoms from the Shadow Lord and the Dark Horde, he bears the burden of having to return to the Highlands to reclaim his proper place. He befriends a Highlander who would die for him, struggles with his love for a princess with a mind of her own who will betray him, and tries to piece together the puzzle of his life — while the High King’s assassins, aided by the minions of the Shadow Lord, pursue him. Thomas discovers that not only must he stand against a High King bent on conquering the Kingdoms, but also the Shadow Lord, a creature of ancient evil who threatens to unleash a time of darkness and sorrow on the land. Thomas is torn by his desire to lead his own life and his duty to a people who view him with suspicion and fear. He knows that doing the right thing will only push him farther away from the life he wants for himself — and closer to his own death. Does he have the inner strength to accept his fate and free a people that never had any use for him? Can he prevent the Dark Horde from descending on the Kingdoms and extinguishing the light forever? Does he have the courage and skill to stand against the Shadow Lord?

    He knows of the bastards and brigands who plague the King’s lands, of the monsters skulking in the wooded depths of the realm. Together with his companion, Ryn – a horse of rather peculiar talent – he has spent the last decade of his life beneath the bloody banners of a half-dozen mercenary guilds, hunting precisely such festering wickedness within the borders of Viridian. Unfortunately, fate is quick to pull on the leash of its favorite children. When one particularly troubling contract goes sideways, Declan and Ryn find themselves thrust into a war thought legend and long-ended, a conflict so old it is synonymous with a time in which dragons still ruled the western skies. Now, as dead men rise from their graves and the terrible beasts of the northern ranges descend into the kingdom with an appetite for savagery and flesh, Declan is faced with a profane choice. He can turn, can flee an ancient rising horror that would see the realms of man left as shattered death and wind-blown ash. Or, Declan can face this mounting threat, can come to terms with the fact that his oldest friend might just be more than he appears, and learn to wield an ageless power all his own. Centuries pass, after all, but the Blood of Kings does not fade…

    S. Johnson comes an original fairy tale that's sure to enchant you ...  The first time I fell in love with Princess Mele was when I saw her smile, and I fell in love with her the second time the moment I heard her sing. Two memories burn within Kaipo's heart -- the death of his mother, which left him alone to die, and the arrival of Princess Mele, which gave him a new reason to live. Together with his adopted brother, Kaipo seeks out Jaya, the Fae Queen who lives on the Forbidden Mountain, in order to gain the beauty he requires to win Mele's heart. But Jaya has other plans for the scarred outcast who climbs up her mountain ... The Princess and the Peacock is the first in Birds of Fae, a fantasy fairy tale novella series from C. S. Johnson featuring original, standalone fairy tales.  FROM THE BOOK:  “Hey, Kaipo, we are almost at the top!” Rahj lets out a cheer as he appears beside me again. He daringly loosens his grip before twisting around to see the sights behind us. “Can you believe the view from up here? No wonder Jaya chose to live here.” I carefully look down at the view below. I can see our whole side of Maluhia as I glance around us. The skies are clear, shining in a way that seems both too light and too blue; the clouds just above the Forbidden Mountain are fluffy and starkly white, as if they know they are used in service to a higher power. The seas that surround Maluhia are a mix of blue and green, the sun and sky eagerly battling for the right to blend their beauty. I can see the coral reef that bends around the beach that leads to the other side of the mountain, where the kingdom’s rich merchants, warriors, and royal family live in the capital city of Shanthi. “You’re right,” I say to Rahj, who somehow smiles even more brightly. “This is incredible.” “This is how the God of all creation must see the world,” Rahj says, his voice full of awe. “From up here, it only looks beautiful. There is no way to see the full ugliness the world carries.” I frown at him, surprised by the remark. There was nothing in his tone to suggest a sullen feeling, but the words were enough to make me wonder. “I am happy to share this with you, Kaipo.” Despite the danger, Rahj reaches out and I clasp his hand in mine. I might have hated Rahj before, but since my scars had branded me as both an outcast and an orphan, he had remained by my side. With Appa gone, and my mother dead and burned, there is no one else. So I smile at him. “Thank you, brother,” I reply, and this time, Rahj does not smile. Instead, I can see the solemn gratitude and pride in his gaze as he nods. His sudden and uncharacteristic seriousness is the last thing I see before the rock under his anchored hand crumbles, and he cries out my name as he falls. “Kaipo!”    WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:  "From the characters to the priceless message of true beauty, this was an engaging and creative tale that pulled me in. I very eagerly look forward to reading more in this series!" ~ Laura A. Grace, Unicorn Quester"Beautiful and satisfying read!" ~ Maurice, Book Reviewer

    "They are the monsters under the bed when you are little, the shape just caught out of the corner of your eye when you thought you were alone, the shadow of something in a dark corner that surprises you and then isn't there. They stop you dead with a knot of unexpected terror in the pit of your stomach. We have all seen fleeting glimpses of them. Never long enough to see them as I saw them, but it was them. I recognized it the instant I saw it. "We've all seen flashes of them, the dark shadow just out of sight. They could briefly terrify us before but never hurt us because they came from so far distant. They were never able to fully materialize in our world so we saw only transient glimpses of them, the shape of them if the light was just right, if the shadows were deep enough . . . if you were afraid enough. "I think that the star shift has brought us closer to their realm so that they now have the power to step into our world and hurt us." — Kahlan Amnell.

     5/5 stars. “Best teen fiction since Harry Potter!” Amazon reviewer 5/5 stars. “If you love the Harry Potter series, you will love this.” Amazon reviewer. 5/5 stars. “Like Harry Potter meets fablehaven. An amazingly fun take on genies” Amazon Reviewer “In Theft of Sapphire... the comparisons to Harry Potter are warranted for once.” -M.S. Middle School Librarian Judah is determined to pass his wishgranter's exam and join Alifair's Repo Agency—premier repossessors of broken, malfunctioning and delinquent wishes. Only one problem--Judah is a terrible genie. His wishes never quite turn out how he pictures them in his head. The rest of his family already works for the agency, outsmarting horrofiends (wishes turned rotten) and raking in the treasure, and Judah is tired of being left out. When he grants a deadly, fanged monster that comes out three inches tall, though, Judah fails his exam and is barred from joining the agency. To make matters worse, someone is breaching the Wishrot, the junkyard for malfunctioning wishes, and releasing the most dangerous sorts of imaginings. Desperate to disprove his exam score, Judah accepts an off-the-books repo job to find a malfunctioning dragon—complete with chrome scales and scented exhaust. With the help of the three-inch monster, now named Goliath, Judah hunts the dragon. His search leads him back to the Wishrot, where he discovers a girl from a banished clan of genies breaking into the junkyard. She claims she's looking for her brother. According to her, the Wishrot isn't a junkyard at all, but a cover for an ancient prison hidden beneath the defective wishes. Now Judah must decide if he will help rescue the girl's captive brother. If caught, Judah risks eternal imprisonment by ancient powers wielding forbidden magic. And though reuniting the girl with her brother seems like a cause worthy of a repo genie, is it worth the risk of never seeing his own family again? “The story is very polished, imaginative, and original. The humor works well, the characters are well-developed and unique, and the plot is compelling... I was up late because I couldn't put it down.” -Kodon editor, Claire R. “I was completely enthralled the entire way through... There is now a part of my life that will feel empty until I get to read [the] sequel.” -M.A. Decker “In Theft of Sapphire... the comparisons to Harry Potter are warranted for once.” -M.S. Middle School Librarian “Worried about losing my job. I read it overnight instead of preparing for tomorrow's class.” -R. Kent, high school teacher “Super exciting... Great descriptions... Makes you keep reading.” -S. Jean, Librarian “It has been at least 5 years since I have been into fantasy and magic. This is truly the best [story] I have read in a while.” -Reddit reviewer “Honestly, you are going to quickly become one of my favorite authors. I can already tell.” -Reddit reviewer “I love this. It’s like an entire world that I never knew existed and you write about it so well. You have an insane talent.” -Reddit reviewer “You have such a way with words, vey compelling to read.” -Adult reader “I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoyed it.

     Would the exception mean the destruction of the Kingdom? He saw her walk in and knew something was wrong. Marl hadn’t seen his sister-in-law since his wife and daughter’s funeral. She blamed herself, but Marl knew it was his fault. If he hadn’t roped Elora into going after that young dragon, well, things would be different. The life he’d built at his little tavern hadn’t healed his pain. Could he find redemption, or did he need revenge? Elora said, “He’s back.” Marl asked, “How?” “Flew out of the fog. You better get your gear.” In a world shielded from invaders for centuries and lulled into a false sense of security, only two people truly understood the danger. Who will stand by their side?
