Writing under the pen name J. Ellis Blaise (blaze), James Salimes has served as Chaplain, Pastor, and Spiritual Counselor for two decades. At an early age, he descended into dungeons with pen and paper in hand. Enchanted by spells and sipping bitter tea warmed by dragon fire, he wrote tales of magical places. The Fullness of Time began as a bedtime story for his children. His wife, a creative genius with the flare and grace of a goddess, permitted him passage into the Kingdom of Nantes, where he completed the first book of the trilogy.

SYNOPSIS:

Wesley Delaine Gaspard is heir to the throne of Nantes (nan-TES)—as are his three brothers. And they are sworn to keep their heritage secret until the prophesied ‘fullness of time.’ Knowledge of their legacy died with their mother and their father became despondent. Great-Grandfather’s writings contain only mystery surrounding the prophecy. When the kingdom is attacked by Pirate Trolls, ravaged by a sorcerer’s winter storm, and Wesley is betrayed by his brothers, who is there left for him to trust?
