Forge is an adventurous kid who has just come of age and is setting out on his clan's rite of passage ritual. Armed with nothing but his father's spear and his mother's Tech-Smith knowledge, he is taken on a whirlwind trip through the Cave of Trials. There he must prove that he has the Strength, the Brains, the Agility, and the Courage to be an Aceratex warrior.
Upon completion, he discovers that the great evil from long ago has escaped and now threatens all of Tov. When a group of mysterious strangers, known as the Keepers of the Core, show up at his village they insist that he is the prophesied one who must forge together the weapon that can stop the evil one.
Forge must now decide whether or not he believes this prophecy is true. How can fighting Velociwolves on the Marble Plains possibly have prepared him for a quest of this magnitude?
Interview with the Author
Q - What makes the Chronicles of Tov series special?
A - The Chronicles of Tov is a series written for the coming of age Christian child. Bookshelves are overflowing with books about witches, wizards, demigods, monsters, and other topics that the Bible clearly calls evil and there are so very few books written for the Christian tween in the action/adventure/fantasy genres. We believe there is a serious need in the book world for books that hold Christian values in high-esteem, call good good and evil evil and yet give kids that feeling of adventure that is relevant to them today.
Q - So, this book series is written for Christians only?
A - No, absolutely not, the story of Tov is written allegorically. It can be enjoyed by anyone who wants an exciting story with good moral lessons. They'll see kids living out the Golden Rule and at times learning that breaking the commands given them have real consequences. They'll see engaged fathers and mothers who are strong, vibrant, devoted, and most of all involved in their children's lives. For this series, children and parents who want a deeper understanding of the Biblical principles or an explanation of the allegory, they can go to our website.
Q. How many books will there be in the Chronicles of Tov series?
A. The Chronicles of Tov is an epic fantasy series. The short answer is: we don't know. The long answer: Edge & Lira is currently a stand-alone adventure, but coming hot on its heels is the first book of the upcoming Forge series. That series is slated for 8 books. But Edge & Lira and Forge are set in a relatively short period of time in the world of Tov. We anticipate several more series that span the entire life of Tov.
Q - Is there anything else you'd like to share with your readers about this new series?
A - The Chronicles of Tov is a fast-paced, action-packed, thrill-ride adventure that blends great storytelling with moral lessons set in a fantasy world, filled with strange creatures, amazing locations, dynamic protagonists, steampunk and science fiction elements, and good, clean fun.
