Epic Fantasy and Mythic Elements in the Grand Masters’ Galaxy


The Grand Masters’ Galaxy comprises four full-length novels and a short prequel. The stories in this series combine epic fantasy with space opera and romance. It’s a hybrid of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars with hints of Anne McCaffrey’s stories.

Several Reviewers have enjoyed the fantasy or paranormal aspects of the books:

Fast paced, lots of action and great characters. If you are into fantasy, paranormal and romance then this for you.” https://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2D5KTUKGYF3GO/

This was a phenomenal book I enjoyed it so much, it was everything I could wish for in the start of a paranormal series. It left me eager to continue the journey with the grand master and his pawn. Beautifully written, imaginative, romantic and so exciting. I can’t praise it enough.” https://www.amazon.com/review/R221E8NHGJPPS9

“Exciting and vivid sci fi/fantasy/adventure, grounded in real emotions and fully realized characters” http://www.amazon.com/review/R3CANUFT4PBY9D/


Fantasy and Mythic References

You can consider Violet Hunter as a young Elf warrior on a quest. In the course of the first book, she acquires an amethyst crystal, a magic sword, and befriends a dragon, as well as Grand Master Athanor Griffin.  
 
The twelve Grand Masters resemble powerful mages of different species. Some are benevolent, some are malevolent, and others may be indifferent. All Grand Masters emit deadly psychic rays.

The White Mother Tingu is clearly a wise old woman and possibly a witch. She lives in a thatched cottage on the pastoral planet of Avalon.

One of my characters is a dwarf, the Master Smith Stimon, who also shows aspects of the Roman deity, Vulcan. His forge is carved inside a volcanic cone in the mountains of Avalon.  
I don’t have Ents, however, Grand Master Amarylla Threeleaf is a giant flower and glides on thin roots. Eziz often appears as a bunch of twigs, but can expand into a large tree.

The ethereal Elyrians of Erebus resemble elves. They wear gems on their foreheads and communicate telepathically.
