Flower Amid the Devastation: Servants of the Flower World, Book I

A spirit-storm tears across the land, leaving devastation in its wake—and rending the Flower of Life. Now the fate of two intertwined worlds—our own and the mysterious, inverted Flower World—hangs in the balance. To restore the source of renewal and life, six scattered petals and a hidden center must be found before the Sorcerer and his dark master, the Emptiness, claim them for destruction.

Flower Amid the Devastation is the opening volume of a five-book series, drawing inspiration from Southwestern cosmology and the medieval tradition of epic quest. In this tale, power flows not from domination but from those willing to risk all for others, refusing to let the forces of might and control prevail. A farmer who dreams true, a prince and his warriors, a half-Flower mage, Little People who tend otherworldly blooms, and primordial Water Beings are drawn into a single, perilous journey. As their unity is tested, they discover that service—not conquest—may be the only force strong enough to meet the coming darkness. Perfect for readers who loved The Lord of the Rings and are ready for an indigenous-rooted cosmology. Here, Three Worlds are bound together, and battles in the Above World and the Underworld converge upon This World. Here, the challenge is not only to preserve the Flower of Life amid the devastation, but to learn how to flower amid it as well.
