Now.Here is a Teen and Young Adult's Fiction series of books, written and illustrated by Indie Author, Richard Haslam, published in 2020 onwards.

Overview[edit]

These saga of books are set in a post-apocalyptic past, set in an alternate 18th Century, three centuries after a cataclysmic event called "The Firestorm" which occurred during the height of The Hundred Years War on the 2nd July 1402. As it is set in the 18th Century, it isn't unusual to have Christian themes and imagery at its heart, like C.S.Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia and J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books do.

Plot[edit]

The setting of the saga is mainly focused on the island of Gardenia (Formally Northern England) in the year 332 A.T. (After "The Firestorm") or 1734. The main protagonist is a Gardenian called Kiona who after succeeding with her friends in rescuing the children from a smuggler's stronghold within Dagger Teeth Pass on the continent of Cornelia, failed in saving her gifted seven-year-old little brother Achak when he was killed by the threatening and mysterious Eresh Kigal, averting an assassination attempt on one of Kiona's newly made friend, Princess Roso. Dying within his older sister's arms, Achak became one with Kiona's heart that fulfilled a long-sealed prophesy that would inevitably seal Eresh Kigal's fate, The Maid of the Heart, with Kiona's true identity of being an incarnated angel who represents hope called Tiqvah, and her symbiotic little brother for her heart, her heart angel, who can understand the hearts of women. He is called Levtiqvah.

Together with their friends, the ainu best friend Abenanka, the boyish chilli-tolerating Nascha, and the newly arrived bubbly newcomer Rubecula who'd become the womance partner to Kiona. They all must face the turmoils of the looming threats of the two warring superpowers that had rapidly filled in the vacuum of the now-dissolved peacekeepers, The Shepherds, and their young successor, The Coalition. The two superpowers are called The Yin-Lung Dynasty (The Dragoons) and The Northern Roman Empire (The Aquilas).[1]
