The Gathering

The Clan, Book 1

By: Charlie Sweeney

Narrated by: Alaura Howery

Tigera now stood very still. She turned and looked deep into her mother’s eyes. "We have a very simple decision to make,” she said. “Run, or stay and die,” Tigera stated. As a fact, heroes and heroines will rise in the most adverse of times.

Their lands, the Nine Boroughs, are abundant in food and shelter. They prosper, expand, and it could be said, have become complacent in their existence. However, far to their western border, other eyes look on with want and jealousy on this bountiful land. Now a great Lord has assembled the Hoard, west of the river border, and they plan an invasion the clan will not see coming until it is too late. The invasion of the clan’s territory is underway and due to the clan’s seasons of complacency, they find themselves unprepared for what is coming. A small band of clan members make a stand at the Clan’s ancestral home, but they are outnumbered by at least six to one. But just when all seems lost, one family will hold the key to the clan’s survival.

Can a mother and her four young children rise to the challenge? The fate of the clan and the boroughs will rest in them overcoming adversity, personal tragedy, and learning to wield the power and titles suddenly thrust upon them.

The Gathering will take you to a world that is all around you, just seen through different eyes. A new genre in fantasy is emerging which will challenge the way you see the world and the way you take every day things for granted.
