Alex burst into the room and saw Terra hanging limp over the shoulder of a tall man draped in a black cloak. Terra's red hair covered her face, and from her lack of movement, she appeared to be unconscious. Golden light issued from a yellowish portal that wavered behind them.
"What are you doing with her!"

When Terra Duval is kidnapped by the Demon Lord Azreal, Alex Zane must venture from Earth to the Realm of Magic to rescue his love. Together, Alex and Terra must unite the forces of a fractured world to free the Nine Realms. But will his love for Terra prevent him from saving those he has been charged to protect, or will it be the catalyst Alex needs to save the Nine Realms?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mark is, first and foremost, a loving husband and devoted father. He has two daughters and no intention to try for a boy. (With my luck, I'd have another girl...)

After joining the Coast Guard in 2010, Mark was transfered to the Coast Guard Cutter Mellon in Seattle, WA. In 2013, he was transferred again to Mobile, AL. This made him happy because he can visit his family in Brandon, MS much more frequently now that he isn't two-thousand miles away.

If you have any question for Mark, or if you want to tell him how much you love his book, (or if you're bored) feel free to contact him at www.facebook.com/mcthew or mcthew@outlook.com

5.0 out of 5 stars A Child of Two Worlds
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2014

Very much enjoyed this read! I was engrossed pretty much the whole book. The characters were well fleshed out and I grew to care for quite a few of them. I also enjoyed the "looks" into their pasts. If I were asked who was my favorite, not sure I can pick one, although Brahm did make me giggle a time or two! There were a couple of times when I had to re-read a sentence because there was an extra word added or a small typo but nothing that isn't an easy fix and, for me, the story was so good that it didn't bother me in the least (hence why I didn't detract a star. I only mention it for those who are sticklers about that sort of thing but I would still encourage you to give this book a shot, regardless). It's also clean romantically (always a plus for me), only alluding. Have already bought the second and am starting it now. Thanks for the escape Mr. Cole and am looking forward to continuing my adventure in the next book!

The 'Sum' of my thoughts
4.0 out of 5 stars An Author to Watch
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
One of the joys for an avid reader is finding a promising author of a series and watching that author grow in talent and style. I believe Mark Cole and his Nine Realms Series to be the start of something very special. The first book, "A Child of Two Worlds" is a fast paced adventure that pulls you in early on. With powerful characters and one of the most malevolent villains I have read, the book stoutly follows in the tradition of fantasy novels and will not disappoint the fans of the Fantasy Genre.

My chief complaint would be that some of the conflicts were resolved too nicely or too quickly, I would like the tension to be drawn out a bit more(I know, I'm a glutton for punishment, the less patient of readers won't mind at all). However, he seemed to have found his groove in the last 3rd of the book which seemed perfectly paced and masterfully written.

Surprisingly, the most compelling character to me was not or hero of heroine, but that of the supporting character, Caitlin. I look forward to hopefully seeing more of her in the subsequent books and learning more about her and what makes her tick.

Overall the book was a great read from an imaginative storyteller. I look forward to watching him hone his skills throughout the series and perhaps following in the footsteps of some of my favorite authors such as Alison Croggin, Christopher Paolini, Brandon Mull and JK Rowing who, through "trial by series" refined their Talent into some of the best writers. The potential is immense. Can't wait for Libram of Fate!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read, can't wait for the sequel!

If you are in the mood for a wonderful, character driven tale, this book is for you. The story takes the reader to the extremes of emotion as the characters struggle to overcome the harrowing obstacles and dangers. The world is wonderfully fleshed out, the creatures wildly entertaining, and the dialogue both humorous at times and tragic. You do not need to love fantasy to be captivated the this adventure. Start at your own peril, you won't be able to put it down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2014

The characters were interesting and avoided unrealistic relational problems that can be typical in many books I have read (Like spending half a book angry at each other for a simple misunderstanding that could be resolved just by addressing the concern). The story paced well for me and I enjoyed the flashback chapters that helped fill out and define the characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just "purchased" this free gem.

As the headline suggests, I just "purchased" this free gem. Only a couple pages in, but it's really more than just those free books people toss around carelessly. This is a carefully crafted work of art from an author who truly cares about his work. I wish you the best in further writing and suggest this to anyone looking for something to read. Looks like I'll have something to read over Christmas holidays, now.

I ran across this book via social media, and took a chance on it. I'm very grateful I did so. You could see the author's style evolve over the story, and I was reminded of both Pratchett and Goodkind. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the stories in this series, and watching the author's voice develop into something unique.

When I started reading this book I did not know what I was getting myself into. The story really got me going that I could not really put this book down. I got captivated in it and it just kept going. I highly recommend this book if you're into a somewhat middle earth type story of characters.

I thought this was a great book. The story moved fast and didn’t drag on like a lot of other books in this genre. It built upon the tropes but pushed past the obvious routes. Looking forward to the next read!
