The Connors Chronicles C G Peltier

The ebb and flow of natural life is a necessary, ever-changing struggle for survival. From the tiniest bug or plant, to the largest predator, each species struggles to continue into the future. Each is part of an elaborate food chain, and is directly, or indirectly dependent on other species for their own survival. This is the natural way of life. One should not worry about nature, as it has done since the beginning of time, nature will find its own way. It is the unnatural, the evil of wizard kind that one should be concerned about. These are dangerous and desperate times for the people of Freedonia. The peace and prosperity they had once known ended the day the western wizard, King Charles Connors III died, and the heir to the throne, Prince Charles and his lady left the country without their twins. It was supposedly to recover from the stress of caring for his father during his long illness. A strange thing happened the very next day. It was reported the castle staff had kidnapped the royal couple's ten-year old twin, Charlie and Kelly Connors. To this day, Prince Charles and Lady Catherine have not returned to assume the throne, or to search for their missing twins and the long manhunt for the royal twin's still continues. There had been much speculation as to what had happened. There are a few that know the true story, however, they are not about to let the story behind the royal family's disappearances become common knowledge. Four years after the temporary Regent, Rudemire Klug, his ten Regional Commanders and his army had imposed enormous taxes; the crippled economy had sent Freedonia on a downward spiral into despair. Many of the citizens feel the Connors had abandoned them. Unknown to the citizens of Freedonia, the dark wizard from the east, Drake Aldric's master plan is working, with two huge exceptions. The Connors twins are still alive, and it is taking much longer than he expected to eliminate them. As long as one Connors still lives, they are the rightful heirs to the throne. This is something the dark wizard is struggling to remedy and time is running out. When Charlie Connors reaches his fifteenth birthday, he will be coming of age. That is something Aldric is desperate to prevent from happening. If the citizens only knew what the Connor twins and the small band of rebels have endured, have done and are planning on their behalf, they wouldn't feel abandoned. They can never know. As the citizens had done in past wars, the people would rise up and fight for their king. Being kept in the dark has kept the Freedonia citizens from being involved in another wizard war. The last war; The Great Wizard War, almost caused the extinction of wizard kind. Drake Aldric and the the rebels fox leader do not want this to happen. After four years of living in the shadows, the Connors twins' three animal godfathers and their mouse friend are aging rapidly. If the twins and the other rebels can't find a way to turn them back into the wizards they once were, they will soon be passing away, one by one. There is a fine line between reality and fable as the young, wizard Prince of Freedonia, Charlie Connors, his twin sister, Kelly and friend, Timothy are about to find out. After completing their mission to draw Aldric's army's attention away from the magic dome hidden in the Oak Forest, they embarked on a mission of their own. They were ignoring their fox leader's warning and were about to cross the fine line into fable. They were determined to save the lives of their rebel friends, an aging mouse and their three animal godfathers.
