Description

Rain Oxford is a teacher who has been writing for more than half of her life. The Asian-influenced cultures she creates were inspired by Japan, where she attended Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. She does most of her writing in a secluded cabin in the woods with a four-pound Maltese as a companion. When she's not teaching or creating worlds, she usually enjoys cooking, playing the piano, or photographing exotic wildlife.

Features & Highlights

  • Dylan thought he was an average man, with a dead-end job and no great aspirations. When he finds a black book with peculiar words and markings, he discovers the universe is bigger than he imagined. The Guardian of Earth, who kept the book and its immense power safe from falling into the wrong hand, was killed. Now Earth needs a new Guardian. The battle to protect the book begins early for Dylan as he must rely on his newly discovered powers to defeat the creatures sent to take the book. Dylan’s life is sure to be full of adventure, danger, and magic. To protect his book and the world that now relies on him, he must learn to survive on a foreign world, fight fierce horrors beyond imagination, master the magical arts, and ultimately battle a dark god who has already destroyed one world.

Will Read Again!

I am always pleased to read a fictional book that not only has plenty of content, but gets it's characters and information done well!

I enjoyed how the author described points of view from both a more like child like point and those who have been around the block more than a few times. She gave them ask personalities and personal feelings, enough that the reader can understand them all. Some still managed to surprise me into the final chapters!

And best of all, for someone like me at least, is that Rain Oxford did such a great job with the surrounding information. Mythologically accurate, different languages, changes between world's and their confirmation...I will read this again!
