Winds of Amicita-Released 10/24/2022
|
Once every century for the last five-hundred years, a brilliant curtain of light called The Luce blazes a path across the ocean to Amicita, an island shrouded in mystery. Rumored to be rich in natural resources and ancient artifacts, Amicita has caught interest from rest of the world.
With the advent of another Luce just around the corner, Landree sees this as an opportunity to escape her life as an inn-keeper's daughter. Craving for adventure, she and her friends sign up for an expedition to the island. In a stroke of luck, Landree and five other students in the same village were selected, including a brooding, lone wolf named Nicholas, who is fixated on a myth that Amicita holds gemstones that grant elemental powers. He also warns that Amicita is hidden away from the rest of the world for a reason. After a storm maroons Landree and her friends on the island, everyone shifts their focus from exploration to survival. They race against time to gather enough supplies to sail home before The Luce, their only way to navigate home safely, vanishes when the two moons eclipse. As Landree and her friends stumble deeper into the wilderness, myth becomes reality when they awaken the powers within gemstones; however, they soon discover that the powers had been activated for a reason. Earthquakes worsen. People vanish one by one. Can Landree unravel the mystery of Amicita before it's too late? |
Seeds of Lore: A Mythical Anthology

A JL Anthology. Volume IX
J.L. Klimov's short story "In Life and In Death" is featured in this anthology. Steeped in tradition and universal truths, mythology and folklore are two sides of the same coin. In this collection, nine stories reshape such legends into new tales brimming with adventure and magic. Deities don’t always have the answers: a mother goddess and her loyal queen bee search for a cure as the land withers around them; a war goddess chooses a mortal champion, but her gift of power comes at a price; and a grieving god travels to the underworld to rescue his best friend. The trickery of fae is a legend of its own: a clever young man must outwit a wily leprechaun; a lost girl finds herself at the forest queen’s mercy when she stumbles upon a solstice celebration; and a rebellious girl must find her phone after a gnome steals it to punish her disobedience. Even mortals can become myths in their own right: a determined prince rides out to discover who keeps stealing his father’s golden apples; a dissatisfied youth charged with keeping Excalibur safe fights against the tradition forced upon him; and a teenage boy has mere hours to prevent the end of the world after his father accidentally releases an Egyptian god. Step into ancient worlds and new locales as you rediscover old truths. |

Ultimate Seven- Released Spring 2020!
|
The final installment of the Aeonian trilogy has arrived!
Queen Isabel lost it all. Stuck on a remote island, she learns her husband Dante usurped the Deranian throne, and all her tribe leaders and allies are dead. Worst of all, her talismans that control the elements no longer work. The once closed-off sovereign of Deran catches the attention from countries around the world: the Empress of Waaken wants to forge an allegiance while a clan leader in Irelle demands a relationship over a broken agreement. Teaming up with Ami, a strong-willed innkeeper’s daughter, Isabel must find a way to restore her magic and return Deran to its former glory. However, the sands of time are shifting ─ the events set in motion are eerily similar to what led to the establishment of the Aeonians two hundred years ago. |

The Aeonians
This is J.E. Klimov's first published novel.
Publisher: Silver Leaf Books: http://www.silverleafbooks.com
Isabel Deran only wants to practice archery with the castle guards, and that is the last thing expected from an elegant Princess. Living in the shadow of her late sister, Victoria, she is next in line to receive the royal armlet that is embedded with four stones: an opal, a sapphire, an amber, and a ruby. It is a revered family heirloom with the power of the elements passed down from mother to daughter.
However, an evil, once thought to be sealed away in a prison in which time does not pass, breaks free with an army that swarms the castle and wreck havoc over the kingdom in search for the magical armlet. They are known as the Aeonians. When they kidnap Isabel and place their hands on it, the precious stones vanish.
Isabel is now trapped in a race against time to locate her stones of power with the head of the Aeonian army, Bence Brechenhad, stalking her like a shadow. With the help of her trusty weapon, the sai, she fights her way through seemingly impossible trials and fearsome monsters in order to restore peace in her kingdom.

"What is the difference between a hero and a villain?
A hero should always use their power for good: a detective devotes his life to chasing gifted villains; a girl uses her frost powers to rescue her father; a weary sidekick faces her childhood nemesis; and a young man must protect his loved ones against a tyrannical authority.
But having unique gifts means facing tough decisions: a doctor must choose between saving his reputation or his patient; a young woman saves a drowning man and finds herself in danger as a result; a student discovers the consequences of choice; and a wannabe hero takes on a supervillain hoping she’ll be invited to the hero’s league.
And the line between good and evil is oftentimes blurred: a self-made hero crosses that line to save the world; a lovesick henchman blindly follows his master’s orders; a mentor attempts to prevent a pupil from being drawn to villainy; a superpowered military team questions their orders despite the inevitable consequences.
Follow these men and women as they set out to save themselves, and the world, from the great evils around them."
