In The Land of Magnanthia

A jolt from Simon’s heart caused a pulse to travel down his left arm where the energy accumulated into the Ring of Affinity. A bright white light pulsed from the ring and all went silent.

The paths of good and evil don’t always run so far apart in B. R. Maul’s enchanting fantasy novel, Portals, Passages & Pathways.

Simon Whittaker lives an ordinary teenage life until the most powerful ring in the land of Magnanthia chooses him to become its guardian.

Swept away to this mysterious world that is in the midst of a brutal war, Simon must place his life in the hands of a master swordsman, ranger, high cleric, and wizard sent to help him.

While King Elderten has ordered death to the realm’s nine guardians, the group he believes is responsible for the kingdom’s devastation, Simon remains the only hope for those who believe the guardians are innocent.

Meanwhile, Jak Jakobsin has been recruited from Earth by Bedlam’s evil overlord in the West. He plans to use Jak, along with his undead army, to build a force so powerful that Magnanthia will be his forever.

Prepare for a breathtaking climax as two different paths are set in motion.

PORTALS, PASSAGES & PATHWAYS is a teen young adult novel that creatively combines fantasy fiction and real fiction like C. S. Lewis' beloved THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. It delves deep into an epic adventure in a fantasy world rich in magic and wondrous creatures, much like J. R. R. Tolkien's THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS. A must-read for any sword and sorcery fantasy fan!
