Release the magic!

After fourteen centuries of imprisonment in his magic wand, Rowan, an ancient wizard, is finally released by a young boy. The boy, Cullen, is possessed by Rowan with a great power and a need to find lost love. When situations become dangerous, Rowan emerges from the frightened child to set things right. Both he and the boy try to understand what has happened to them, only to discover a deeper problem. Somehow Fiana, the wizard’s bride from the ancient past, has survived and become something evil.

Christine and Ethan Rose Christine and Ethan Rose have marvelous imaginations. Often finding their inspiration among the trees, they write as they lead their lives - with plenty of adventure, magic, and love. Ethan grew up in foster care in Northern California, and he has read nearly every fantasy novel ever written. And, when he can’t read, he listens to books on tape, normally while working as a General Contractor. Christine holds her M.A. in Medieval/Renaissance Literature & Folklore. She wrote her Master’s Thesis on Le Morte D’Arthur and produced two documentary films. Mixing Christine’s scholarly, goal-oriented background with Ethan’s in-depth knowledge of modern fantasy has undoubtedly created a prodigiously talented team of authors that looks forward to writing many more books.
