The Five Elements
The Five Elements is the first in a series of books about the mythical land of Astrellion and its group of legendary heroes, known as The Astraxi, who are fulfilling an ancient oath to protect the land.
The untimely death of a brave warrior draws teenage misfit Nico into the Astraxi, and the re-emergence of their immortal foe Cyax, triggers a race to find and control the Five Weapons of Elemental Power, whose combined magic would make him invincible.
With Four Undead Kings, a ruthless Warrior Princess, and legions of Cyber-demons ranged against him, can Nico learn to harness his Dragon Lore in time to prevent Cyax unleashing a new era of Darkness and suffering upon the world?
Behind the Five Elements there is a rich back story going back 4000 years, which I hope to explore in other books. I have also written a screenplay for the Five Elements, so with a bit of luck it will make it to the silver screen.
The Five Elements is available in paperback and kindle formats in the Amazon marketplace:
