Synopsis

A young girl. A diabolical gargoyle. A sacrifice to save the world. A smart young girl is unwillingly thrust into a frantic quest to save mysterious people and bizarre creatures from a deadly foe, determined to destroy everything--and everyone--she cares about. Thirteen-year-old Danielle had never thought of herself as adventurous until, alone, she must face two enormous gargoyles, Ercen and Kimar, and decide whether she trusts them. Was she kidnapped--as all the evidence indicates--or rescued from doom, like they say? Can she believe their assertion that she has a power to save the entire world from a diabolical gargoyle and his minions? How can a simple girl break the monstrous power of the key to the enemy's ghastly temple, crafted from the very soul of a broken, elderly woman? Danielle's epic journey will captivate readers as she confronts powerful threats, and finds perplexing friends along her dangerous path. With the help of a gargoyle names Lohxnahr, Danielle struggles against forces beyond her worst terrors. She must dig deep to find enough courage and resilience to challenge the rogue gargoyle commander of the renegade army, bent on seizing control of the human race. Full of wonder, suspense and adventure, this novel is a fun, page-turning fantasy that also asks serious questions about the true meaning of love, faith and friendship.

A Long Hidden Threat, Discovered

We'd like to believe that real threats are pretty obvious. Or that there are signs, if only we can see them. We often clutch hold of that belief, white-knuckled into adulthood, even though children's fables are written to teach us that there is evil lurking in the world. And it is often hidden. In this excerpt from The Quest for the Temple Key, Anders discovered something long hidden will change the world as he knows it. #Halloween #Fear #BooToYou #AllSaintsEve #Hidden #Threat #SomethingWickedThisWayComes

Book Excerpt

The Quest for the Temple Key

Anders paused, as if collecting his thoughts. He kicked a few rocks into the side of the oak. Freida realized she was holding her breath.

“So…?” she murmured.

“Here’s the thing. We knew that Widow Vellhelmina was old, and that she’d been a widow a long time, right?” Anders continued.

“Yeah, sure,” Paign responded, trying to look knowledgeable.

“Of course,” replied Freida, with more conviction than Paign.

“And we know that she had been peculiar in her old age, to the extent that many in the village called her a witch, based largely on a few ‘eye witnesses’ who saw her talking to herself while wandering around the outskirts of the Highland Valley.” Anders paused, took a deep breath, and added, “At least, that’s what we were told.”

“What do you mean by that—‘what we were told’?” Paign asked.
