Tales of Elves and Trolls

The Crystal Goblin is the first volume in what I hope will be a series of books set in a fictional world populated by fantastic creatures.

"When Lora, a headstrong elf-child, slips away from the orphanage, little does she dream it will lead to a series of grand adventures. Along with Sticky the imp, a slave seeking asylum in the Elven Realm, she journeys into enemy troll territory. Here they meet a troll outlander named Gnorr, whom Lora grows to love as the father she never knew. But convincing the elves of Gnorr's peaceful intentions will not prove easy.

"As the three of them strive to make a place for themselves in the quiet elven village of Gwyn-Elm, knowledge of a magical artefact, The Crystal Goblin, comes to light. Its influence over their lives runs deeper than they can imagine, drawing them into a conflict far greater than their personal struggles.

This first volume of Tales of Elves and Trolls comprises nine stories for all ages which can be enjoyed on their own or read together as a whole. Join Lora and her friends as they encounter sentient trees, a deadly dragon, and mischievous goblins; search for faeries, and try to prevent a battle that could change the face of their world…"

Fantasy fiction for all ages (recommended 9 years and up). Adventure, humour, and action.
