Elinda A Novel

Belinda and the Witch's Cat

Her grandmother rides a vacuum cleaner. Her cat talks when he feels like it. And Belinda Robinson's life will never be the same. Matilda arrives with silky white hair under a pretty straw hat, twinkling green eyes, and a dimple at the corner of her mouth. She smells of flowers. She bakes perfect scones. She builds a tree house overnight in the big gum tree. And she brings a grumpy Blue-point Siamese cat named Senna who wears a narrow leather collar with a gold bell and has very strong opinions about modern transportation. But Matilda has secrets. The vacuum cleaner hums at midnight. The television shows things it shouldn't. And Senna? He talks in a deep, velvety voice that is exactly what you would expect from a cat who considers himself royalty. Belinda has always been the new girl. No cousins, no siblings, no friend who lasted. But Matilda changes everything. Suddenly there is athletic Kate with her blonde curls and reckless bravery, and lonely Amanda with her glossy hair and sharp mind hiding behind a snooty exterior. There is Miss Higgins in her haunted mansion, who went to a very unusual school with Matilda; a school where cats studied catography and feline thermodynamics. And there are midnight flights over moonlit trees. But when Matilda's temper flares and everything goes terribly wrong, it is up to Belinda and her friends to set things right on their own, armed with a borrowed flying carpet, a crystal ball, and courage they did not know they had. The first enchanting adventure in the Belinda Robinson series.

Belinda

A New Age of Man

The last soul on the planet of Galleant let out his last breath, and another age of man had passed. While the Patrons of the Realm mourned the loss, little did they know that their next decision - an experiment born of desperation - would reverberate across the heavens. For the first time in their history, A New Age of Man will be given access to the magical powers of the Source. Arran turned and froze. The sourcestone was no longer the weathered grey of his youth. It was glowing vibrantly with the sigil of Talon, the Patron of Intelligence, a single dagger crossing a book. “What the…?” Arran had not expected much on his Source Day. No one in his family had ever been gifted. He would say his prayers, ceremonially pass into adulthood, and embark down the path of taking over his father’s smithy. That is, until the sigil of Talon appeared on the sourcestone. Thrust into the midst of Patron Talon’s intelligence training at the vaunted School of Meitellen, he will come to discover a new passion, friends that will become as family, and a mystery of deceit and corruption crossing the entire continent.
