Izz of Zia Tom Icon

Izz of Zia is where fantasy and reality meet.

This book is recommended to anyone and everyone who is of a seasoned mind--be it a mature teenager or adult of any age. This work is a multi-faceted epic written with a poet's hand. The Good the Bad and the Noble is the first novel of a four part tetralogy too big to be a trilogy that can be interpreted on two separate horizontal stratums: an exciting, fantasy, adventure, thriller or as a deeply spiritual journey of love.

Izz of Zia is set in a parallels universe; in the First Age of the Noble Kings, in the Middle Era of the First Millennia, in the year One Hundred and Eleven, in the days of King Ozzdon, in the Empire of Xylenia, on the magical planet of Zia. The reader is given glimpses into each intriguing character's innermost thoughts and feelings that are easy to relate to on many levels. As the reader assembles the puzzle, they will find themselves caught in a circle of many powerful mixed emotions of love, hope, sorrow, and despair.

This is a magnificently spun tale of romance and adventure set against the embodiment of pure evil creating a web in which two young heartthrobs that are as different as the East is far from the West learn the fathomless meaning of passion, devotion, and the significance of true love.

Betrayal from within threatens to tear a blissful world that has lived in peace for a thousand years apart forever. Baddlock the Wicked Warlock Wizard recruits Dandork the king's once most loyal servant and the barbaric Norticlan Tribes of Noragore to overthrow King Ozzdon for the promise of power and riches.

Both from the first time they lay eyes on one another are convinced they have known the other in a previous life and believe they are predestined to be together. The only problem is that Zuree has been betrothed, since birth, to Rizan the Champion of Champions who is the youngest king in Zia.
