2023

Things have been a bit quiet here at KnightsofEarth.com but work has not stopped. Behind the scenes I am trying to make myself the best writer I can be. Currently I am working through the first module of an English Literature and Creative writing degree, that is taking up most of my time.

That does not mean I have not been writing. Between March/April of next year, I will be releasing the third book in the Knights of Earth Saga, now titled POWERS TEMPTATION.
This is a more Earth bound story for Thomas Lita as he and his friends deal with the fallout of the world learning about Halves and Aliens. Something that may prove to be their biggest challenger yet.

Rebranding – Going into 2023 I have made the decision to rebrand. Over the next couple of years KnightsofEarth.com will become home to more than just the Knights of Earth and History of Ilmgral books. I will be publishing different mediums through this website and even the works of other associated authors. From now on, all publications by me and the website, will come under the Knights of Earth Publications banner, so that you, the reader, get a guarantee that all works published by the website are done so with my support, love and dedication. I look forward to bringing you all sorts of new adventurers into the future.

With this rebranding is the possibility of merchandise. For the release of Powers Temptation, I will be hoping to do a three book package. This will include signed copies of, Knowledge Los, Vengeance of the Gods and Power’s temptation. A Phoenix team membership card and a official Knights of Earth bookmark. More information on this will be available shortly.

Hopefully I will see you all in 2023!

Story Excerpt Knowledge Lost

Story Excerpt from Knowledge Lost

Before Tom could stop her, she dived into the pool and delicately glided to the far side. Using the water as a base, she leapt out in front of the warriors, the moisture flying off her and hanging as little droplets in the air that she sent flying towards her enemies. The droplets sizzled on impact but were nothing more than a minor hinderance. She landed on the edge of the pool and in a graceful movement, her hands lifted. Muscles strained on her arms as they connected with the pool water. It began to lift and veins in her arms popped at the weight of all that water. Some warriors ran away, others tried to move towards her but they knew their doom was near. The water lifted until the pool was empty and as Sophie’s strength began to ebb, she threw her arms forward. Tom lifted his own hand and added his weight so that the wave crashed past Sophie, turning the first two warriors into statues and then it carried on, moving through the kitchen with frightening speed, destroying every molten warrior it touched. The wave reached towards the kitchen before finally faltering and silence filled the noon day.

The vines on Price’s arms grew and hardened and these he placed through the warrior’s chest, spearing them where they stood. The vines broke off but using his power, they grew again and each time with greater strength. Soon he was by Tom’s side and together, warriors fell in a ring around their feet. They were a team as they had been for years and almost when Tom was beaten, Price sang in the language of the trees and a root burst from the ground, trapping the warrior before it had a chance to strike.

Kat stood alone with Lucast, who seemed ready, a swirling ball of water surrounding him. The chasm he had filled in places, allowing the molten warriors to cross slowly. He was positioned for a fight, but Kat did not think he would need to be. He had shown her how powerful she could be and that vision, oh that terrible vision, had given her an idea. She could feel a steadiness within her, a calm before the storm but this would be her storm. As she lifted her hand, clouds rumbled and roared above her. She could feel the particles of ice in the sky and the static charge between them. As she moved the clouds, the more they rubbed and the greater her control became. Thunder echoed above her and like a calling, the warriors advanced. Bright flashes suddenly lit up the landscape and Kat felt the hairs on her arms rise. The heavens were charged and with it, her feet lifted off the ground. She rose higher and higher, suspended by her power over the sky. She was lit by the last rays of a red sun as it set below the smoke cloud and then it vanished and all that could be seen were the sparks that shined around Kat’s body. This was the pinnacle of her excellence and as she struck her first enemy, she was the most beautiful thing in the world.

The Sundering of the Two Moons

Not much is known about the worlds beyond our solar system, the worlds that until recently we did not know existed. Chance has allowed me to study in the great libraries of Ilmgral, to see its vast history that Earth has now become a part of. For that reason, I have created this story, to show you the long tapestry of events that would one day bring universal war to Earth. In this volume I cover the early years of the Ilma, from the creation of the universe to the most tragic event of those ancient years. From the libraries of Dragor, I have translated these tales, so that we may better understand the role that has come to us.

A fantastic read for the young teenager. Full of fantasy, action, laughs and friendship. Join Tomas Lita on the start of his fantastic and tragic story.

Foreword

This universe is just one in a long line of failed universes. In those before, beings beyond our comprehension played with the fabric of reality and manipulated the lives of those they created. Learning from their creations love, jealousy and eventually a hate that sparked wars between them until they ripped the universe apart and the cycle started again.

In Besan Gretan, the realm that is, Gadrika, God of life, hearing the echoes of those before him, decided to give select mortals the powers to level the playing field so that this universe could reach its chosen path.
The Ilma, so majestic in form and spirit, were chosen custodians of the universe but greed comes often to those already with power. Dark events drove them from their righteous path and the Graul, the servant race, were gifted powers so that the Ilma did not become tyrants in their toppling of the Gods.
Empires were split at this decision and the Ilma, now spread far across the stars, battled for dominion over the universe. Peace came at a heavy price and in that ruin, the Ilma sort for a chance to turn themselves back to a proper path. They sort for a new power, one not foretold by the Gods and in their search, they found Humanity. A love for mankind came swiftly to the Ilma, who saw in humanity the true custodians of the universe. Through experiments they tried to merge their DNA with ours, to give the powers bestowed upon them to the people of Earth. Then they departed, to allow Humanity to thrive and waited for any sign of their success…

Stand behind me.” Nicole ordered to the others. She had her hand raised, feeling into the rock beneath their feet. All around them were voids. The mountain side was full of deep crevices and caves. Suddenly she thrust her hand into the ground, and it was like she had cracked ice on a lake. The earth in front of her fell away and revealed a deep chasm, full now of tree and warrior alike. The warriors that remained yelled and Nicole stepped backwards, holding a hand that was clearly bruised.
Price leapt towards the fissure and charged at two enemies stood precariously close to its edge. He blocked a blow of the first while kicking out with his legs. It teetered and then fell. He was on the second warrior in an instant. His vine slicing at its legs. As he rounded back on it, two slices to its face sent the warrior falling into the chasm beneath.

Excerpt from vengeance of the Gods

With the initial structure conquered, Kat led the charge. One of the big brutes rounded on her, its swing she blocked with the rod in her right hand while the left went into the beast’s stomach. She laughed as it flew across the room, knocking over the machine gunner and buying the human soldiers a valuable reprieve.
Just two short minutes after the assault had started, only two Murka’s remained. The rest were dead, dying, or incapacitated. Some by the clever work of Price, others by David’s deadly precision and even a couple were crumpled by the force of Sam’s gift but most had been taken down by Kat and she eyed the other two viciously, “Ice.” She yelled.
Sam’s hands flew forward, and the cold metal floor began to shimmer with the thin covering of ice. Kat felt her feet lose balance, so she fell to her knee’s in a dive and allowed her momentum to carry her forward. The Murka’s tried to step toward her but their thick boots could find no grip and so they were falling as Kat approached. As she slid past, each felt the full force of one of her rods in the gut and the last two remaining Murka’s fell. Kat stopped herself against the far wall and with careful feet she stood up.
