Return to Allivan: Book 7 of the Clarion of Destiny epic fantasy series

With her demon pursuer finally stopped, and her training complete at the academy, Leena and her friends must finally return Allivan, the land they once called home before it was ravaged by Arvin. Entry back into Allivan reveals a changed land, not full of orcs and goblins like they thought, but instead, crime and injustice caused by the changed humans that were able to survive the rule of Arvin.

"Clarion of Destiny" is the eight volume fantasy tale of Leena, a young hedge witch in training selected by destiny to combat the greatest challenge her world has known. In an epic journey that leads through foreign lands and mysterious realms where demons, monsters and magic rule, this inexperienced young girl is forced to overcome a protected childhood to face challenges that would crush far more experienced adventurers. With each step, each passing day, she draws closer to a malevolent force so formidable it has defeated the mightiest armies and the strongest magic in her world. How can one lone girl hope to overcome an evil that has never known defeat?

In Volume 7, Return to Allivan, Leena and her group return to an Allivan changed by Lord Arvin’s rule. Retracing Leena’s original journey, they find a lawless land where evil rules and might makes right. Despite a pressing need to end the tyranny destroying her country and a constant, almost overwhelming, desire to reunite with lost family and friends, Leena cannot turn a blind eye to injustice. Some challenges cannot be ignored.

Question: What type of fantasy series is Clarion of Destiny?

Clarion of Destiny is an epic fantasy series following the growth and coming of age of a young hedge witch named Leena. Along her journey, she encounters cunning humans, such as wizards and knights, as well as some brutish foes, like orcs and goblins. The series is a coming of age tale set in a sword and sorcery setting that I enjoyed writing and know that you will enjoy reading.


Question: Who is the Clarion of Destiny series good for?

Answer: Not to be cliche here, but the Clarion of Destiny epic fantasy series was written for the teen and young adult audience, but is definitely suitable for everyone. Throughout my life, I've read mounds and mounds of fantasy books of all types and age demographics, and used them as inspirations for my own works. Therefore, there's elements suited for all types throughout the whole series that everyone from new adults, college scholars, and some more seasoned readers such as myself will love!


Question: How many books are in the series?

Answer: Clarion of Destiny originally started out as a series of four very long, dictionary length books. But, after asking my readers back when the books were first released about the length, I received some feedback that they were too long, and moved a bit slow at parts. In order to make the reading experience better for my readers, I decided to break the series into eight, better, faster moving books instead.


Thank you checking out my series, and I know you'll enjoy reading them!
