Pale Kingdoms

This is the first in a series of Epic Fantasy books by Robert J Parker that are rooted in the contemporary world only to travel beyond. It is a story that will appeal to young adults and older. It is a story about life, death and meaning, especially with regards to the part of us that travels past death. It is about the bond between brothers and sisters and the friendships that develop through chance and necessity. And at its heart it is about belief in all its many facets from belief in one another all the way beyond to powers in the universe. And about how that can be manipulated and hidden. Humanity has been sold a lie. A witch, an angel and a lost soul must set the truth free. But time is running out. Lorin the eldest of three siblings discovers a heritage beyond Earth where there are indeed such things as monsters. Her brother is stolen one night by creatures who desire that he should live. Peter was meant to die. His abduction sets into motion, events that will reach every corner of humanity. With a sister's love for her brother, Lorin is propelled upon a journey where inherited abilities beyond comprehension reveal themselves, gifts of a sorceress who was once the equal of Death himself. Lorin and Peter have become players and pawns within the first stirrings of the end game for humanity. Worlds will clash with life and death, just mirrored conclusions of the same illusion. What is truth?
