  If Carter hadn't been checking his phone, he might have seen his brother coming down the ski slopes in his direction. And if Carter had seen his brother in time and avoided the crash, he might not have two broken legs right now. 
    
  Oops. 
    
  Now Carter is stuck at home for weeks, with both his legs in casts. Bored, he starts checking out the live feeds from police cams around his town. Before he knows it, he's obsessed—watching his classmates when they don't know he's looking, and discovering some other VERY STRANGE things going on that no one else is noticing. 
    
  But what happens when Carter is found out … and the people he's watching know where he lives?

  Description 
  In a coastal village where the wind is both threat and promise, a young woman named Searia dares to imagine a different future. From repairing broken turbines with her father’s tools to leading a grassroots alliance that challenges ministries, corporations, and storms alike, her journey is one of resilience, ingenuity, and vision. 
  This is not a tale of heroes descending from above—it is the story of a community rising from within. Apprentices learn to keep the light steady, families weave survival into ritual, and neighbors turn scarcity into strength. Through storms, lawsuits, audits, and the slow work of replication, Searia grows from a determined daughter into a leader whose vision reshapes not only her village but an entire region. 
  Blending climate fiction, social drama, and visionary storytelling, Searia: The Rise of a Young Visionary is a novel about the power of ordinary people to design extraordinary futures. It is a book for readers who believe that resilience is not just about surviving the storm, but about teaching others how to keep the light burning long after you’ve gone. 
  (Thank you for choosing my audiobook. If you have any questions, feedback, or if you’d like to request a digital or paperback copy of the book, please feel free to reach out to me at joenduga@gmail.com.)

  “If you thought that there was no reason left for living after the end of the Sorcerer’s Ring series, you were wrong. In RISE OF THE DRAGONS Morgan Rice has come up with what promises to be another brilliant series, immersing us in a fantasy of trolls and dragons, of valor, honor, courage, magic and faith in your destiny. Morgan has managed again to produce a strong set of characters that make us cheer for them on every page.…Recommended for the permanent library of all readers that love a well-written fantasy.”--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto MattosThis original short story takes us back in time to show us how it all began. KINGS AND SORCERERS: A SHORT STORY  is a 3,000 word original short story which is a must-read complement to the #1 bestselling KINGS AND SORCERERS series, which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS (Book #1), a free download with over 1,000 five-star reviews. It also serves as a standalone story and also as a great introduction to the series.In KINGS AND SORCERERS, Kyra, 15, dreams of becoming a famed warrior, like her father, even though she is the only girl in a fort of boys. As she struggles to understand her special skills, her mysterious inner power, she realizes she is different than the others. But a secret is being kept from her about her birth and the prophecy surrounding her, leaving her to wonder who she really is. Just as Kyra is coming of age, the local lord comes to take her away. Her father wants to wed her off to save her. Kyra, though, refuses, and she quests on her own, into a dangerous wood, where she encounters a wounded dragon—and ignites a series of events that will change the kingdom forever.  15 year old Alec, meanwhile, sacrifices for his brother, taking his place in the draft, and is carted off to The Flames, a wall of flames a hundred feet high that wards off the army of Trolls to the east. On the far side of the kingdom, Merk, a mercenary striving to leave behind his dark past, quests through the wood to become a Watcher of the Towers and help guard the Sword of Fire, the paranormal source of the kingdom’s power. But the Trolls want the Sword, too—and they prepare for a massive invasion that could destroy the kingdoms forever.With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, RISE OF THE DRAGONS is a sweeping, romantic saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, action, adventure, destiny, sorcery, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, of ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders.“RISE OF THE DRAGONS succeeds—right from the start…. A superior fantasy…It begins, as it should, with one protagonist's struggles and moves neatly into a wider circle of knights, dragons, magic and monsters, and destiny.…All the trappings of high fantasy are here, from soldiers and battles to confrontations with self….A recommended winner for any who enjoy epic fantasy writing fueled by powerful, believable young adult protagonists.”--Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer
