The Candlestick Dragon

by Melanie Ifield

Overview

Twelve year old Daniel Smith believes he is an ordinary boy, living in a little town where nothing exciting happens. That is, until he finds Nilofar the talking dragon; meets a wizard; and discovers a world full of swords and sorcery. Welcome to an exciting new fantasy series with action, adventure and magic for all.

THE DRAGON
Finding a candlestick with a small stone dragon wrapped around it changes Daniel’s life forever. The dragon is on the hunt for the stolen Royal Sceptre from another realm called Novarmere. The Princess Rishana of Novarmere needs the Sceptre for her birthday ceremony to Bond her to Land and Throne. The ceremony is merely days away and Nilofar is in a race against time to get it back.

THE KINGDOM
The evil wizard Rullin has his own plans for the Sceptre and there is nothing he won’t do to fulfil them as he follows the Sceptre’s magical trail to Daniel’s hometown. When Daniel and Nilofar beat him to the Sceptre, Rullin threatens Daniel – give him the Sceptre or Daniel’s mother dies.
Travelling through the Gateway to lead the wizard away from his family, and losing Nilofar along the way, Daniel must warn the Queen of Novarmere that she faces the dark and dangerous magic of Rullin, but first he has to find Nilofar by travelling through the Great Forest, where magical creatures harm the unwary. When coming face to face with danger, will he run, or will he stand and fight?
Daniel discovers that doing the right thing is harder, and more perilous, than he had ever imagined.

About the Author

Melanie Ifield writes novels for all ages. After years exploring the written word from a young age, culminating in a degree in journalism, Melanie now writes full time. Melanie loves the idea of loosing yourself in new worlds or new experiences through books and hopes her stories will provoke that love in others.
She has been self publishing since 2013 with a fantasy series for everyone over the age of eleven called the ‘Chronicles of Novarmere’ where Daniel and the little dragon Nilofar set out to save a Kingdom; a children’s adventure story where the determination and strength of the eleven year old protagonist saves the lives of mistreated chickens in ‘The Chicken Liberation Army’; and a romantic thriller with action and adventure for adults called ‘The Age of Corruption’.
Melanie has taken some time out due to long term chronic illness. However, for now and forever, her passion is writing. Her dream is for her books to find their audiences and to write as often, and as much, as she can while she can. She’ll change tone, voice and genre. She’ll write in novels, in journals, on her blog, in notebooks and on post-it-notes if she has to.

Then one day, one very fine day, all her dreams will come true. She hopes yours do too.
