April 27th, 2008

English author EJ Tett has just published the first in a series of new young adult fantasy on Lulu.com, the online marketplace for digital content.

EJ Tett first wrote ‘The Kingdom of Malinas’ when she was seventeen, the next two books in the trilogy soon followed but it is only now, at the age of twenty-five, that The Kingdom of Malinas has been made available.

Roger Dewar from the Academy of Children’s Writers comments ”The Kingdom of Malinas is an excellent and interesting piece of writing.”

About The Kingdom of Malinas: After an argument with her mother, sixteen-year-old Sorrel returns to her home in the Vale of Malinas to find the forest burned and her people taken into slavery.

She knows who has taken them. The Lamya! They are the same people who invaded the Kingdom of Malinas over a hundred years ago and turned it into a place of barren land and dark deeds.

Sorrel must leave her home in the Vale to find an army to aid her. With only her best friend Little Cloud by her side, Sorrel must face many dangers - a crazed Lamya guard, two dragons, the mysterious wraiths known as the ‘Grey Men’ and the Leader of all Lamya: Corrinus. A man who has a past connection with Sorrel.

The fate of the Kingdom of Malinas rests in her hands…
