Synopsis

"A welcome cross between Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and the Lion King" This most imaginative work is the first book in the series and introduces us to the strange and yet familiar land of Letterham. In this land your birthplace defines your name, and that name defines where you can and can't go. The story follows three orphans and their growing relationship with their mysterious foster father, with whom they are forced to make a journey together, after being separated from the rest of their family. In this, their first journey away from Homeham, the children will see many new things; some of them frightening and some of them beautiful. They will see how unjust things can be, but using their gifts, they will also prove that even they can make a difference by partaking in adventures that they could only have dreamed of. The children will learn how important friendship is, as they help new friends they have made; counting amongst them both lions and beasts. All the while and without even noticing, the children grow, as does their relationship with each other and their foster father. He himself also learns things from the children and they help him to feel alive once again.

About this title

From the Author

This is the first of two books in this series, the second one will be released later in 2017.

I tried to introduce some messages for the readers regarding immigration and all the fear surrounding it and other subjects in the news today.  Its quite easy to end up with a simple message turning out almost like a sermon and with the author sounding as if he is forcing his message across.  However, after many edits I hope this is not the case and any messages are much more gently introduced and the reader can make their own mind up on what are quite difficult subjects.From someone who has lived in four or five different countries around the world, I hope some of my experiences come through and I hope you enjoy reading my work.
