Description
Years before mortal's myth became so; there existed a world beyond mortality- a holy domain where the purest of magik organically manifested. Ruled by a family of spirits, this realm became the origin of all things fairy-tale; the place of legends and enchanted beings. But a dark secret in the sacred clan will threaten the existence of the life-giving sacred Forest- the origin of all of its glaymor. The banishment of a god will send the fate of the entire land into the hands of a creature known as Elgwin. He alone is the only being that can save the dying lands as the curse of mortality threatens to absorb the light permanently. Seeking answers the only way he knows how, he sets out to bring the human Kingdom of Nara a son- an adversary to the wicked King who threatens their Immortal Soil. But will the child of a crooked sorcerer be enough to save the land? Will Elgwin find that his efforts to mend the past be for naught? What will there be left after the child becomes King?

Person
While singer, writer and guitarist Andrew McKnight has been a prolific songwriter, performer and recording artist for a quarter century, Treasures in My Chest is his first full-length book. A former engineer with advanced degrees in Environmental Engineering and Chemistry, he turned his scientist's eye and songwriting skills towards his family history. He has released nine recordings, and performed at many prestigious venues like the John F. Kennedy Center, the International Storytelling Center and the Atlanta Olympics. Andrew has used his writing skills to write songs with kindergarten kids and wounded warriors coping with post-traumatic stress. He is a gifted workshop leader, an engaging speaker, and a longtime endorsing artist for Elixir Strings and Fairbuilt Guitars. Mr. McKnight lives in Lincoln, Virginia with his wife, daughter and a considerable cadre of friendly ghosts.
