A fantasy-adventure series for young people and adults who
are young at heart! The TALISMEN story will run over the course
of two story-arcs, in the tradition of LORD OF THE RINGS and
STAR WARS.
The first TALISMEN story-arc begins in THE KNIGHTMARE KNIFE.
Four 12-year-old boys living on Earth-Colin Sinclair, Reggie
Spencer, Ollie Steele, and Timmy Shannon-discover that they
are descendants of Duncan, the capitol of the Realm of Dreams.
A sinister sorcerer named Ba will stop at nothing to renew
a bloody war between Duncan and its old adversaries in Algol,
first city of the Land of Nightmares, hoping to destroy both
places. The boys, along with a mysterious Duncan warrior named
Pratt and his daughter Jennifer, are the only ones who can
stop Ba...IF they can locate and master their talismen, powerful
magic weapons that can help as well as destroy their users...
The second TALISMEN story-arc begins with THE RETURN OF THE
EXILE. This story begins eight years after the boys' and Jennifer's
Duncan adventures. Marine Lance Corporal Ollie Steele is about
to be executed by terrorists when he suddenly finds himself
in the Plane of Imaginings, the land were all dreams and nightmares
come from. A beautiful young blue-haired, pointy-eared Kee'lan
woman named Astrina finds Ollie and takes him to her village,
Donnelly. To Ollie's surprise, every Kee'lan in Donnelly recognizes
him. They also insist that Ollie is the first of three exiles
prophesized to rescue the Plane of Imaginings from Ba, the
foul ruler of the Land of Nightmares, and Ba's shadowy first-night,
Scath...
A third story-arc that shows the adventures of the boys'
and Jennifer's true parents in the Plane of Imaginings has
been discussed by Barb and Steve and may happen after the
first two story-arcs are concluded…
