About me:

FIREFLY ISLAND

The new epic fantasy novel from Thomson Gale Publishing

"I thought Firefly Island was a very promising debut for Arenson. As a self-contained story of only 347 pages, it is an especially good choice if you like fantasy but don’t want to become committed to reading a long series or one of the 900-page tomes that are so common in fantasy nowadays. It is also, despite some fairly grim aspects, generally more upbeat in tone than many other modern writers of medieval fantasy, which is nice if you enjoy the genre but want a break from the darker, more downbeat worlds of fantasy authors like Glen Cook, George Martin, or Steven Erikson. I would highly recommend this book for fantasy fans, and look forward to seeing how Daniel Arenson develops."
-- FantasyBookSpot.com

"The author... brings a crispness and directness to his storytelling that propels his novel to its inevitable, though at times unexpected, conclusion. Intriguing characterizations of both heroes and villains make this a good choice for most fantasy collections."
-- Library Journal

"The violent and gory world Arenson has created is filled with interesting details and cultures... he is an author to watch."
-- Booklist

"Superb... a fascinating and enthralling story."
-- Harriet Klausner, Amazon's #1 rated reviewer

"Daniel Arenson has an amazing gift of bringing his characters off the pages. I would highly recommend the book to anyone. This is the most excited I have ever been about a science fiction/fantasy book."
-- ReaderViews.com



A cruel king, his flesh made of stone, tyrannizes the enchanted Firefly Island. No sword or arrow can harm him. Aeolia, a servant girl, can magically share feelings and senses... even pain. Only she, by hurting herself, can hurt the mad monarch. But can she save the island from his grasp?
