Description
by Steve Rouse
Ten-year-old Min’darr, by tradition, is to spend a year being trained by his uncle, who introduces him to magic through a mysterious entity in a high mountain cave. Min’darr becomes saturated with magic, so much so, his uncle’s jealousy forces Min’darr to choose between him and magic. Magic wins, but at what cost?
Min’darr grows into his magic and uses it to help his family and others. His toughest challenge comes when he has to face a different kind of magic and those who use it for their own benefit. Can Min’darr use his magic to overcome the yearnings of others for power and greed? Can he overcome the threat of his own death by the ghost of that magic’s founder?
In his newest book, Min’darran Tales Vol. 1, Rouse creatively weaves three novellas flawlessly into one wonderful story. His innate talent for building real characters and vivid worlds his readers easily connect with, fosters an exciting adventure for readers.
This reader, for one, eagerly awaits the continuation of Min’darran Tales in Rouse’s upcoming sequel, Min’darran Tales Vol. II.
