Welcome to the epic story of Maldene, a world that straddles the border between Fantasy and Science, where wizards and warriors can meet with visitors from other planets in their efforts to combat the most dread villain of them all- Miro.

Some say he is a powerful wizard, others say that he is something far more, but the only thing that is known for certain is that he has been around for all of known History and that even the gods fear him– and they aren’t saying why.  An inscrutable villain whose plans are just as mysterious as they are deadly.

“This book is basically The Hobbit meets The Odyssey”
-GeekyGalaxy.com

Maldene is a complete and unique world, with a story that takes you from one continent to another, through a variety of cultures, to sights ranging the whole of this vast world.  From the Equator’s dangerous Funnel Storms, to the ancient urban sprawl of the mammoth Harbor Of The World, and past Nature’s greatest oddity, the never-ending Tedelnosho- The Great Whirlpool.
No mere epic, this is a story that goes far beyond. Across the planet of Maldene, to other worlds, and through far-flung dimensions, in a story that spans thousands of years in its telling.

“Tierno… has created a story that fills a huge, sprawling canvas…”
-Charles R. Saunders, author of the Imaro and Dossouye novels

Sabu, Eldar, and their companions start out with simple enough goals, little realizing that their ignorant bliss of the true nature of the real world will soon end. For the world is not only far larger and far stranger than anyone had ever thought, but the nature of true evil plots deeper than even the gods themselves may have ever feared. Even as a mysterious King recruits a band of potential heroes to assist him in fighting the dreaded Miro, the evil wizard himself has already planned for their eventuality… hundreds of years before they were even born. Worse yet, he is counting on their success.

“A World beyond time… an adventure beyond imagining.”
-Anonymous reader of Maldene

(Guess where I got my tag-line from?  With permission, of course.)

Upon turning the first page, you are immersed in an alien world as real as the one in which you live. For this is more than a mere story, more than any epic you have ever seen or read. Maldene is in a class all by itself.
