The Death Wizard Chronicles, Book Five, Spring 2008
Sun God
Jim Melvin
Adult Fantasy Series
Two dreadful enemies — the fiends of the desert and the druids of the forest — have been destroyed by the forces of good. But Nissaya, the dark fortress, is overrun —and a slaughter of horrific proportions ensues. After its gruesome victory at the fortress, Mala’s army marches toward Jivita to face what remains of the weary white horsemen, whose defeat of the druids came with a heavy price.
A final battle between good and evil takes places on the Green Plains east of Jivita, and finally Mala is defeated. But though his armies now are in ruins, Invictus (the Sun God) still wields invincible power. The evil sorcerer recaptures Laylah and takes her back to his tower in the city of Avici, out of reach of Torg, the man she loves.
Eventually, Torg (the Death Wizard) journeys to Avici and defeats Invictus, with the help of Vedana and a snow giant. But an unthinkable event already has occurred, setting the scene for Book Six (Death-Knower).
Jim Melvin, 50, was born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., but spent more than forty years of his life in St. Petersburg, Fla. He now lives in Clemson, S.C. Jim graduated from the University of South Florida (Tampa) with a B.A. in Journalism in 1979. He was an award-winning journalist at the St. Petersburg Times for twenty-five years and retired in 2004 to become a full-time novelist. At the Times, he specialized in science, nature, health and fitness, and he wrote about everything from childhood drowning to erupting volcanoes. But he spent the majority of his career as a designer, editor, and supervisor. Jim is a student of Eastern philosophy and mindfulness meditation, both of which he weaves extensively into his work. Meditation helps to clear his mind for long bouts of writing. Jim is married and has five daughters. The Death Wizard Chronicles, a six-book epic fantasy series, marks his debut as a novelist.
