Rylan: Origins

by Kenneth B Humphrey

Overview

First, three young heroes prevented the serpent Jormugand from bringing doom to the Norse gods.
Then, they stopped the eight-armed demon Orochi from releasing the undead on earth.
Now, see how it all began. Go back and learn how Raimy discovered his destiny. Read about his first Hunt, with his father Ben. Find out how - and why - Hadley came into the group.

A demon has possessed Hephaestus, the Greek god of fire and invention. Deep in the heart of a volcano, the demon toils, intent on creating the staff of Agamemnon. For whomever holds the staff can control entire armies. So Ben, Piper and Raimy jump back to ancient Greece. Their goal: Steal the staff before it falls into demon hands.
Can they evade the traps set by Hephaestus? Will they catch the demon and get the staff? What if they come across other gods? And what happens to Ben in the end?

About the Author

It started with an off-hand comment by my 4th grade son's teacher: "There aren't a lot of books for 10 year old boys."

I thought: "Really?" By the time the teacher conference finished, I'd already plotted my course. Six months later I presented the first Raimy Rylan book - The World Serpent - to his class and gave everyone a copy. During the writing, I'd also decided I should do one for every grade he ascends, each increasing in complexity, language and theme. For those keeping score, that's a 9-book series. I'd essentially locked myself into a decade of the same characters.

I'm not very smart that way.

But wait, it gets better. I thought: "Why not take my backlog of adult thriller manuscripts and publish them as well? Kids' books in the spring, adult books in the fall."

Told you I'm not very smart. But here we are anyway. The World Serpent came out Spring 2014. Killing the Man arrived Fall 2014. Raimy Rylan, Chase of the Samurai dropped in Spring 2015. The Killing Face came out in Winter 2015.

Somebody stop me from thinking of anything else.
