Attack on Godstream - Paperback

by Dennis Brucks (Author), Manuel Guzman (Illustrator), Brian Niemeier (Editor)

Teen fantasy like you've never read before, filled with heroic action, friendship, and adventure set in a unique neo-Christendom world.

The Slayer Olympics are here! This is where the best teenage swordsmen in the land compete for a shot at becoming bonafide monster-hunting sorcerer-vanquishing Slayer Knights. And nobody's more excited than Mick Calibourne. For years he's dreamt of it. Not to become a knight himself, certainly not. He's more clumsy, more flimsy, more asthmatic than any 12 year old in the Emerald Realm. His twin brothers are the champions. The Logos Boys. Already legends at 16, they're both favorites to be crowned Champion Supreme and then it's off to the Academy and illustrious careers!

Until their squire accidentally drops their blades in the river on the trip out. Then loses all their coin. Then gets a deathcult on their tail. If there were the Bad Luck Olympics, Mick would dominate uncontested. Things go from bad to worse for the hapless squire, who begins to think he not only holds his brothers back, but may literally be a walking curse.

Everything changes when he meets eccentric prophecy hunter Clovis Aimhigh. He's convinced Mick has been sent by God to help him solve his quest - finding the divine EternoSword. And when a sorcerer's minions invade the city and attack the young squire, a wicked scheme unfolds indicating there may indeed be more to Mick's identity-and his destiny.

"Attack on Godstream" is the first book in the young YA fantasy series "The EternoSword Saga." The setting is a bright neo-Renaissance world, a true neo-Christendom, established decades after a global cataclysm. Here 12&up readers will find an adventure series emphasizing humor, puzzles, and heroic action, all while reinforcing traditional values. Courage, friendship, and masculine virtue are on glorious display. Fans of "Ranger's Apprentice" and "Percy Jackson" will be pleased.
