The Lord of Salamander

by T. H. Alexander

Overview

Their salvation rests in one boy's destiny . . .

13-year-old Elijah Pendleton has just overheard his aunts reveal a shocking family secret.

What he'd grown up believing had been the callous abandonment of the baby his parents didn't want, may have very well been a desperate last-ditch bid to spare his life before they're said to have been captured and imprisoned by a dastardly and power-hungry ruler where, in a not so faraway kingdom, they're said to have remained as prisoners . . . awaiting their son's prophetic return.

This revelation will be the spark that sets Elijah's extraordinary adventure into motion, eventually leading him to a mysterious other world where his very arrival has been foretold will bring forth an end to a decades-long era of darkness.

​​​​​​​But will Elijah be strong enough to survive the treacherous journey that lies ahead and fulfill this long-awaited prophecy or will this so-called Mythic Realm lose the only hope they have left at salvation and remain forever shrouded in darkness?

About the Author

It's said the day T.H. Alexander would be first introduced to the enchanting tale of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz at the mere age of six, would also be the day his own story began. Something about the odd assemblage of characters, the strange and imaginative world of Oz itself, or just the overall story that would not only strike a deep personal cord but also stir his own adventurous nature simmering just beneath the surface. As he grew older, Alexander would find his ever-expanding imagination being shaped and molded by similar titles he would discover along the way that, together, would lay out a foundation for what would eventually become his debut YA Portal Fantasy epic, the Lord of Salamander.

Nearly five years after the book's initial release in November 2022, Alexander followed up this debut with the launch of his YA Sci-Fi/Horror novel, Till Dawn.

He continues working diligently in the hope of completing the next adventure into the newly discovered world of the Mythic Realms with Return to Salamander being tentatively scheduled for a 2025 release.

Editorial Reviews

". . . entertaining and endearing. The blend of references to various mythologies (sasquatch, wingless dragons, giants called Nephilims) and nods to more recent works (a flying broom, a golden compass, faux-Latin spell names) makes a complicated world with lots of possibilities that are only hinted at. Teens who enjoy seeing a prophesied hero stumbling into power and wandering across a fantasy map while making friends will be pleased by Alexander's debut."

Booklife Reviews

". . . a delight to read, bringing back memories of when I would set down a similar novel and fantasize about what my own adventures might be like if I were an Enchanter. This is the best new YA novel I've read all year!"
