Talon, An Epic Fantasy Novel

by Amanda Greenslade

Talon must fight for the survival of his people, who are given amazing gifts of bonding with animals, weapons and flying skyearls.

What could be better than bonding with a ferocious icetiger, meeting a red-haired warrior woman and being sent on a diplomatic mission to the greatest city in the world?

With burgeoning telepathic abilities, 19-year-old Talon travels with Rekala and Sarlice to the city of Telby. Their mission? To seek help for the people of Jaria against their zealous enemies, the Zeikas. With their exile no longer in effect, the Zeikas are moving in on Jaria, other nations of the Kriite faith... and on Talon. Although his gifts make him a valuable asset in the war, if he is captured, he could become a weapon to be wielded against all Kriites who use the telepathic waves.

Faced with betrayal, capture and near-constant pursuit, Sarlice and Talon blaze across Telby, fighting their way to reach Tanza, a distant Kriite nation. Tanza is shrouded in mystery, protected by a magical barrier and guarded by the colourful, furred skyearls who patrol the skies. But when raiding Zeikas and their dragons start using human sacrifices to break through the barrier, Tanza is drawn into the most epic battle of this age. Talon's arrival is a miracle, but will it be enough?
