Anthra’s Moon:
Book 1 of Ysabel the Summoner

The first book of the Ysabel the Summoner series. Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and other online bookstores.

Ysabel hadn’t planned on becoming a hero, but when a monstrous bird called the Anthra abducts a baby princess in Ysabel’s care, it’s up to 14-year-old Ysabel  to save the child before the rising of the full moon, Anthra’s Moon. Along with her two companions, an old soldier and a friendly giant, Ysabel travels across a dangerous land battling an evil enchantress, poisonous snakes, ferocious sawfish, and fire-breathing birds. And then she faces the Anthra. The Anthra is based on Argentavis Magnificens, a prehistoric bird that lived 6 million years ago in Argentina. At its height it stood over eight feet tall with a 25-foot wingspan. It soared on the winds, could dive at speeds of 150 mph, and carry off a full-sized ox. She’s a worthy adversary for a 14-year-old girl.

Perhaps she did, and perhaps this is her story..
