Book Description

January 30, 2008
What to read AFTER Harry Potter, you ask? What is the best fantasy e-reader book to read? Try this…Enter a magical world of mystery and wonder, where fantasy reigns supreme and casual chatter sparkles green. Meet Persephane (or Persy as she prefers), Thaddeus, Benson and P-C as they embark on their enchanted adventures to thwart the evil, black witch Melanthios...

Push the outer boundaries of your imagination into a world where Persy (a very talented almost 13 year old witch, magic her 'modus operandi') and her close friend Thaddeus (a 13 year old wizard) with their familiars –Benson (a very cheeky dragonfly) and P-C (a far from brave dragon) pit magic, bravery, skill and allegiances from a swarm of magical creatures against the tall, dark and malevolent Melanthios. "Best new fantasy series books" one reader claims….

Follow them as they wind through periods in time, to discover ancient magic from cultures all throughout the history of the world in this best fantasy book in a long time.

Success for Melanthios means that the entirety of this planet will fall under her control. Our world will become dark, bleak, cold and lorded over by her demons – forever.

Pull up a chair, sit back, and join them in their quest as Persy and her friends race against fate and time, to stop Melanthios from her evil plot to collect nine mystical objects of power scattered throughout the world to become the –All Powerful One.–

Persy, Thaddeus, Benson and P-C are assisted by a highly adept, scrying gypsy named Vadoma, a vampire with a rather warped sense of humor - Count Pseudomorphius the Sanguine who is known as Murph...for obvious reasons.

Not to be forgotten is the twelve member Magical Governing Council, which Persy's grandmother Laurel is one of the lead members. Each member specializes in a particular area of magic and all have a gift to give our heroes to further enhance their chances against Melanthios.

But is it enough? Melanthios is evil and heartless....and VERY powerful...

As if she isn't enough to worry about...also on the dark side is a slippery, loathsome Chinese Socerer...aiming to usurp Melanthios and beat her at her own game..and along the way...dispose of Persy and her crew!

Will this ever end? What chance does our team stand? You'll see...

About the Author

It says on the back of the first book of The Persephane Pendrake Chronicles: "About Lady Ellen - Weaving and scribing of the eight remaining tomes continues in Lady Ellen's remote witch's hut...on her tiny piece of Ontario's Cambrian Shield" ...and indeed that's where the series began. After more than 3 decades as an alternative health care practitioner, I finally managed to start devoting some serious time to my secret love--fantasy fiction. I've always loved fantasy, magic and mythical kingdoms. We home-schooled our kids and lived on a 100 acre farm..which had about twenty-five acres in forest. We'd make up stories and adventures..lots of fairies, witches, wizards, etc. Now, all these years later, I've started on my nine-book, three trilogy magical series...The Persephane Pendrake Chronicles and have just re-published the first book "The Persephane Pendrake Chronicles-One-The Cimaruta.

While the book was ok, it appears that the writing was for those of the Elementary aged child. My 10 year old was bored with the story, and as this was advertised as a Harry Potter level book, I was personally let down with what I read.

While Harry Potter, Fablehaven, and the like are all written for the young adults, the stories were more intricate than that of what I read on this book. The characters, while decently created, the dialog in the book was simple in it's creation, the narration had no depth, and the scene descriptions were hastily concocted which led to a choppy flow of the story.

This wouldn't be too bad for a child, however, as having three teenagers that were looking for other types of fantasy fiction, they were, as well as I, let down with this purchase. If you purchase it, please take note and read their chapter listing at [...].

Also, their home page of their website looks like a spam website, complete with fake reviews. I apologize for the tone of this review, however, it was a complete waste of time and money.

This book of fantasy and magic was a pure delight. You found yourself identifying with the characters. It's always a pleasure to read something that is well written. The authour is an authority on herbal and natural medicine. Therefore the facts are first hand. It's fun to transport yourself into a world of makebelieve. Can't wait for more from Lady Ellen. Pick yourself up a copy of this good read. You won't be disappointed.

Waiting For Book 2 July 21, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I really enjoyed this book. It had all the elements of fantasy, magic, adventure, good versus evil, humor, and wonderful characters.
I sent a copy of this book to my 15 year old grandaughter when it first came out. She loved it and is waiting for the second book.
I think if you love fantasy and magic, this book sweeps across the generations. I loved it, and I am well over 40 years old!!!
