<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Erik Eleodum is a simple man. He doesn't want to be a hero. He doesn't need fame or fortune. He is content farming his family's homestead in northern Háthgolthane and raising a simple family, like his father, for the rest of his life. In fact, adventure is the last thing on his mind.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Erik Eleodum never wanted to be a hero. Fate had a different plan.</strong></p><p><br /> <strong>Erik will face danger, deceit, murder, death, evil, and - most terrifyingly - himself to become the hero he was always meant to be.</strong></p><p><br /> Erik is content farming for his family for the rest of his life, while his brother and cousin can't think of a worse fate. For different reasons, they leave the life they know behind. Soon, their world crashes down around them as they realize it is cruel, brutal, selfish, and violent. Now, they must not only rely on one another, but also on gypsies, thieves, mercenaries, dwarves, and a mage for their survival. </p><p><br /> In the end, Erik will face danger, deceit, murder, death, evil, and - most terrifyingly - himself to become the hero he was always meant to be as an ancient evil many thought only a myth resurfaces.</p><p><br /> Enter a world readers have compared to the epic fantasies of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, a world of adventure, terror, political intrigue, sorcery, and great heroic deeds. Come face to face with ogres, elves, dwarves, slavers, black mages, ruthless warriors, dragons, evil and fear. </p><p><br /> <em>A true hero's journey of faith, friendships, and trials well worth the price of admission!</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Christopher Patterson's writing vocabulary is expansive, often using archaic language and symbolism to bring life to the story. His writing style is acutely descriptive - not only does he give a voice to his characters, but resonating sounds to his scenery as well. I enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to reading the next book in the trilogy." -5 Stars.Cheryl E. Rodriguez "I would recommend this to those who are looking for adventure, a new world filled with strange creatures, and many interesting characters." 5 stars. Nightmare Poet "Graphic battles, beautifully written descriptive narratives, all woven upon the word loom of Christopher Patterson." 5 stars. Blanche DuBois "Fantasy lovers, enter the world of A Chance Beginning.... Shadow's Fire deftly weaves a universe worth the price of admission. A true hero's journey, this tale of friendship, faith, and trials will leave you waiting for the sequel. If you loved LORD OF THE RINGS, this book sparks a similar flavor. Read it and see for yourself." Ashley Ludwig "Christopher Patterson was able to meet (and sometimes overreach!) each expectation to the fullest extent of excellence. This book is a treasure, a find, and you will be happy you decided to read it. I loved the struggles that each character had to endure while pursuing their own destiny. It gave me hope to realize that there are going to be battles, but there are also going to be victories. I laughed, I cried, and I was drawn into every word of the fantastic story Patterson so diligently laid out for the reader." 5 Stars. Reader's Favorite "A Chance Beginning is a highly engaging story with well-developed characters and a strong plot. Not only is the action well-paced, there is also plenty of depth to the emotions of the characters as they engage with all sorts of new people and different races." - 5 Star Review, Melinda Hills, Reader's Favorite "The story has been well developed. The characters all seem real and well portrayed and they progress along with the story. There is a lot of action in the story. A well executed fantasy story. I can't wait to see what the author will come up with in Book Two." - 5 Star Review, Mamta Madhavan, Reader's Favorite<br>
