Overview

A desperate mission. Sinister sorcery. Can she find the seven prism shards to stop the world from being destroyed? Ashlai, a young Fyre mage who can harness powers of flame from the sun, yearns to know about her kin. Her adoptive elven father refuses to let her travel abroad, and she despairs of ever knowing who she really is. But when the new king's vicious spell attacks her forest home, she flees toward that unknown past-and an uncertain destiny-guided only by the strange melody in her head and a piece of broken prism. Determined to save the land from the enchanted drought burning everything in its path, Ashlai searches for six other magical fragments to overthrow the ruthless king. With the help of a shape-shifting thief, two squabbling bards, and a snarky water elf, she races toward a perilous confrontation... and a life-changing truth. Can Ashlai fight fire with fire to defeat the devastating spell before it consumes the entire land? And can she survive the secrets she discovers without losing her new friends, her family, and even herself? Prelude of Fire is the thrilling first book in The Gailean Quartet YA epic fantasy series.

Author Information

Christine E. Schulze has been living in castles, exploring magical worlds, and creating fantastical adventures and romances since she was too young to even write such stories. Her collection of young adult and children's fantasy books, The Amielian Legacy, is comprised of series and stand-alone books that can all be read separately, but also weave together to create a single, amazing fantasy. One of her main aspirations for The Amielian Legacy is to create fantasy adventures with characters that connect with readers from many different backgrounds. Her current focus is to include racially diverse characters and those with disabilities. The latter is inspired by Schulze working with adults with autism and other developmental disabilities at Trinity Services in Southern Illinois. Schulze draws much of her inspiration from favorite authors like Tolkien and Diana Wynne Jones, favorite games like The Legend of Zelda, and especially from the amazing people God has placed in her life. Some of her exciting ventures include the publication of her award-winning Bloodmaiden, as well as The Gailean Quartet. Her books for younger readers include In the Land of Giants and The Amazing Captain K. Christine currently lives in a cozy Hobbit hole, but you can visit her on her website: http: //christineschulze.com.
