Book excerpt: Product DescriptionA wonderful book for all ages. Younger readers will find this somewhat a new Potter type genre.ReviewI found the plot compulsive. I simply had to read on to find out what happened. In the most complimentary sense of the phrase: it was a genuine page-turner. --Academi Critique ServiceProduct DescriptionThe powerful Elementi Empire spanned over a thousand years, its kings and queens loved and revered by their people and their elemental powers feared by their enemies. One fateful night almost a century ago, the Empire was destroyed by treachery and Magi illusion. All five heirs were thought to be lost... until now.On present day Earth, Jake has an ordinary life, school, bullies, parties... until he stumbles on an ancient crystal and discovers his adoption and a royal past. As Jake touches the pendant, the Magi Emperor in Eleria is alerted that not all the Elementi were killed all those years ago. The Emperor summons an evil fire demon and sends him across the dimensional barrier to hunt and kill the last of the Elementi.Can Jake learn to control his growing elemental powers and reunite the other lost children in time?"The writer has produced an excellent story of two magically endowed power groups confronting each other across time and space. ...Good books that have much in common with Children of the Elementi are C.S. Lewis's Narnia series, Tolkien's Hobbit and J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter stories."(Academi Critique Service)About the AuthorCeri graduated from Aberystwyth University in 2005 with an MSc in Library and Information Studies.

Five stars of full enjoyable Reading.A sample:The woman halted mid-step and turned sharply. Instinctively Nuin and Kiron scrambled back. They held their breath as the woman's eyes narrowed, examining the hallway. Kiron shook his head in disgust at himself and moved to challenge the stranger but Nuin's hand shot out and grabbed his arm. She shook her head at him - silently warning him to stay. He nodded reluctantly in response. Searching for a moment more, the woman turned again and carried on down the corridor.As the footsteps faded, Nuin straightened, shaken by the strange encounter. Who was that? What was that? She rushed to the open-door. At the threshold, she paused. Where was Malo? Taking deep breaths to quell her rising panic, she scanned the room, looking for the familiar and reassuring shape of her husband.Then she heard it. There was a groan from the far side of the room. She saw a hand slide away from the rich fabric covering the bed. She felt her lungs tighten in fear. What was happening? Rushing round the bed she saw her husband half-collapsed on the marble floor. He was clutching his chest, gasping for breath. Beside him lay a spilled wine cup.'Poison,' she breathed, 'Kiron, come quickly.'Only seconds behind, Kiron brushed past her to his liege's aid. Using his heightened senses he scanned the king's body. In his mind's eye, he could see the poison. A hot vivid purple, it glowed evilly, running unchecked through the king's blood. It was spreading slowly but steadily he saw and half of the king's body was already affected. Anguished, he knew there was nothing he could do. The poison had advanced too far - they were too late. He glanced with sorrow at Nuin.'I'm so sorry. I can only stop the pain. He has only a few minutes at most.''Do it!' Tears burned her eyes.Steeling himself, Kiron knelt beside Malo. The healer carefully lifted a flap on a small leather pouch that hung around his waist.
