The Storyteller's Guild

In this new fantasy novel for early chapter book readers author Noah Hollinger invites you to the world of Essila where a person's creativity is their magic. Long ago, this land was besieged by numerous forces who sought to steal away the power of creativity for their own gain. Until two legendary heroes Odessa and Ilias were called upon by destiny to correct the wrongs done by those forces of darkness. Now one-hundred years later the same task is laid before two new heroes: Silas is a boy from a village that has never known magic. Esmeree is a girl with a storied past from a magical circus. Both lives would never be the same from the moment their paths cross. They are asked to join the legendary Storytellers Guild, which seeks to understand the magic in their words and fight the coming darkness that would take it away from them. Silas, Esmeree, and their new mentor, the bard Phineas, must travel throughout the land of Essila in search of the seeds of creativity that, when planted in the hearts of the many, will cast away the darkness and allow magic to bloom once more in their world. This is the first in a trilogy of books following the adventures of Silas, Esmeree and Phineas suitable for all ages.
