Christopher Iolaire
Author of The Hovan Narratives series of fantasy novels.
A wizard must protect Earth, his adopted home, from people who should not be here.
A man, haunted by the reoccurring nightmare of the loss of his wife, attempts to escape the anguish with a change of scenery. The Wizard Hovan, using his magic, moves to Earth. Someone followed. Or preceded him. Whichever, they do not want him on the planet. Or alive. The feeling is mutual.
This good man, capable of violence, must protect both this magically vulnerable planet and his home town of Forestton. Someone has to. He must protect his friends, human and elf, while also relying on them for help. Moving between worlds to fight this evil, the wizard attempts to mix magic and technology, humans and elves, and keep everyone safe. So much for escaping the memories.
May the One he serves protect them.
This story is part epic fantasy and part magical realism, as it occurs on the parallel worlds of Ra’viinen and contemporary Earth.
