ABOUT JOSHUA AND THE ARROW REALM:

On August 30th take the lightning road back to a world of beasts, bandits, and heroes in book two of

the Lightning Road series. Join Joshua in a new fight for power in the Arrow Realm. Can Joshua and

his friends conquer an unstoppable evil?

Joshua never thought he’d return to the world of Nostos but is soon called to the Arrow Realm to

free his imprisoned friend, King Apollo, kidnapped as a power pawn in Queen Artemis’s quest to

conquer every realm. With his loyalties divided between our world and theirs, Joshua wonders

whether he alone can restore magic to the twelve powerless Olympian heirs and save all those

enslaved. But when he finds himself abandoned in his quest, he fears he cannot only save those

imprisoned—but himself as well.

“Fast-paced and endlessly inventive, Joshua and the Arrow Realm is a high-stakes romp through a

wild world where descendants of the Greek gods walk beside you, beasts abound, and not

everything—or everyone—is as it seems.” ~ Michael Northrop, New York Times bestselling author of

the TombQuest series

Here's an EXCERPT:

A faint rumble groaned through the whistling wind.

Boom!

Thunder ripped the sky overhead.

Charlie reached the frozen pond, spinning across it. “Woohoo! I win! You Americans can’t beat us at

speed!”

Lightning flashed. It zinged across the pine trees like brilliant sunlight. A seed of terror flickered

inside me.

Boom! Boom!

Another flash scorched the sky.

Charlie’s smile fell to a frown as he raced across the ice, peering up into the swirling clouds.

We both knew what lightning could do.

Suddenly, sneaking outside for a moonlit sled ride before Bo Chez got home from his monthly poker

game didn’t seem so smart.

The sleet turned to snow. Icicles flew off trees like glass splinters, shattering on the hard snow. As I

shot toward the pond, a tree on the edge moved. Its branches swayed in the swirling snow.

It wasn’t a tree, but a girl! She stumbled through the mad flurry, arms outstretched.

“Charlie, look!”

Gusts snatched the words away as my sled hit the ice and careened out of control on the bumpy

surface. The girl staggered and fell onto the pond. I twisted my sled away to avoid hitting her and

smashed right into Charlie. With a yelp, he pulled me up, and we clumped toward the girl. We lifted

her up, half dragging her back up the hill to the house in the pelting snow and sleet.

“Who is she?” Charlie yelled.

“No idea,” I yelled back.

He said more, but his words were lost in the wind.

My lungs burned with the cold and effort. There was only one reason someone would appear with

lightning—to steal us. This girl might appear like a waif unprepared for a storm but I couldn’t trust

that’s all she was.
