Beschreibung zu „Rise of the Sun God“

"Melvin shows his literary mastery as he weaves elements of potential and transformation; his tale dances among literal shape shifters and more subtle powers of mind."
--Ann Allen, The Charlotte Observer

"Adult Harry Potter and Eragon fans can get their next fix with Jim Melvin's six-book epic The Death Wizard Chronicles . . . Melvin's imagination and writing equal that of J.K. Rowling, author of the fantastically popular Harry Potter series, and Christopher Paolini, author of Eragon and Eldest. Some of his descriptions--and creatures--even surpass theirs."
--The Tampa Tribune

Before he rose to power, the signs of his evil genius were present. Only a few noticed.

Seemingly ordinary parents give birth to a boy with god-like powers--and soon discover that his magic is matched only by his propensity for evil. When the boy's mysterious grandmother appears and takes him away to a distant place, the parents are filled with relief.

But the boy named Invictus does not like taking orders from anyone. Very quickly, even his grandmother--a demon in disguise--cannot control him.

Eventually, Invictus learns that he has a younger sister, purposely hidden from him--but hidden no longer. And so he returns to his birthplace, obsessed with winning her over . . . no matter what.

Jim Melvin is the author of the six-book epic fantasy The Death Wizard Chronicles. He was an award-winning journalist at the St. Petersburg Times for twenty-five years.

Jim is a student of Eastern philosophy and mindfulness meditation, both of which he weaves extensively into his work. Jim lives in Upstate South Carolina in the foothills of the mountains. He's married and has five daughters.

Über Jim Melvin

Jim Melvin was born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., but spent the majority of his life in St. Petersburg, Fla. He now lives and writes in Clemson, S.C. Jim grew up on the shores of Tampa Bay, and he spent much of his childhood swimming in shark-infested waters and not even knowing it. At the time, he probably was too skinny to attract a bull shark's attention. About 10 other boys Jim's age lived on his same street, and they hung out morning, noon and night playing the usual sports that young boys love--football, baseball, "kill the carrier," etc.--but as a group they also were obsessed with playing fantastical games that contained magic, monsters and super heroes. It was in this setting that Jim's imagination was born and nurtured. To this day, he still likes to play "kill the carrier." (Not.) Jim wrote his first novel, titled Sarah's Curse, when he was 20 years old. It was shopped by an agent but did not find a home. Jim didn't care. His second novel, which he decided to call Death-Know, would be the one that hit it big. However, for the next 25 years there would be no second novel. Life got in the way. It wasn't until his mid-40s that Jim finally wrote book 1 of his six-book high fantasy series, The Death Wizard Chronicles. As it turned out, it worked out for the best. Life's experiences had rounded out the setting. Jim graduated from the University of South Florida (Tampa) with a B.A. in journalism. He was an award-winning journalist at the St. Petersburg Times (now called the Tampa Bay Times) for most of his career. As a reporter, he specialized in science, nature, health and fitness, and he wrote about everything from childhood drowning to erupting volcanoes. Jim likes to meditate. It clears his mind for long bouts of writing. He also enjoys the study of Eastern philosophy, which provides excellent fodder for high fantasy. Jim is married with five daughters. His three youngest daughters were adopted from Cambodia. Recently Jim finished book 1 of a young adult fantasy trilogy titled Dark Circles, which is about a group of kids who are transported to a land where it is deadly to sleep.
