      Praise for

      The Noricin Chronicles

      The Lost Boy

      A story that draws the reader in from the very first line…The story of the Noricin legacy is compelling and magical. Mark Sheldon has created a masterpiece.

      ~Mark Miner, Author

      A House Divided; The Bed and Breakfast; The Spell of Deception; and Willamette Werewolves

      www.markminerwrites.weebly.com

      A real page-turner, easy to read, easy to follow and I want to read more…[Mark Sheldon’s] words flow as smooth as a Stephen King novel.

      ~Bill Rosen, Author

      "Altogether I found [The Lost Boy] delightfully refreshing, and it took me back to when I sat in a fence corner of our family farm reading about wizards and villains. Enthusiastically recommended."

      Gerry Burnie, Author, Two Irish Lads

      The Gottlehrling Goblet

      "[The Gottlehrling Goblet] brings you deeper into the mythology of the Norcinites and Dan Regal …Amongst the challenges of final exams, the distraction of first love, riddles and secrets, mystery and murder, how will Dan and his friends manage to survive?"

      ~Kyra Dawson, Brighter Scribe

      http://www.thescribesdesk.com

      Through Mark Sheldon’s adept storytelling, this fast-paced book delights and intrigues with a glimpse into coming of age possibilities and the dangerous catastrophes which are sure to follow.

      ~Diane Sismour

      "Engaging, imaginative, and action-packed, The Gottlehrling Goblet is an enthralling continuation of what is quickly proving to be quite the entertaining fantasy saga. A recommended read."

      Chelsea Perry, Apex Reviews

      www.apexreviews.net

      The Room of Death

      "The third installment in The Noricin Chronicles series...takes the action and intrigue to an entirely new level of intensity...A solid new literary talent, author Mark Sheldon scores again with another entertaining installment sure to leave readers craving the next episode. A highly satisfying read."

      ~Chelsea Perry, Apex Reviews

      www.apexreviews.net

      "In storytelling style, Mark Sheldon weaves another vibrant tale as he continues in The Noricin Chronicles..."

      ~Diane Sismour

      Stephanie, www.goodreads.com

      Scorpio Rising

      "Every bit as fantastical and imaginative as its predecessors, Scorpio Rising does a commendable job of introducing an intriguing new layer to Sheldon’s ongoing fantasy series, ensuring that readers will remain just as compelled to discover the outcome of Dan’s latest daunting challenge. Creatively well-crafted, Scorpio Rising is a thoroughly engaging read – one that definitely leaves you wanting more."

      ~Chelsea Perry, Apex Reviews

      www.apexreviews.net

      This is my first discovery of this Series and without knowing of what went on before I was able to pick up on the story-line quite quickly and it left me with wanting more. Witty, imaginative, and quite thought-provoking.

      ~Don Ball, www.goodreads.com

      I Loved this book so much I read it cover to cover without putting it down once and when I finished it I was left with a sense of loss…Definitely the best book of the four, learning more about the other characters, secrets of the Scorpion's past are revealed and some amazing events take place that leave you speechless!

      The Relics of Time

      "Sooner or later we’ve all got to let go of our past."

      Dan Brown, Deception Point

      Chapter 1

      The Eagle Reborn

      The blinding light faded and Dan stepped out from under the Arch. Dan looked up at the Arch behind him and realized with some relief that it must have traveled with him to the past, and that the portal would still be there when he needed it.

      It was night and he was still at the Bald Spot. Even with the abrupt nightfall, for a moment, he wondered if the Arch hadn’t worked. There was only one way to find out.

      Rushing through the forest, his pulse racing, he had a strong sense of déjà vu. As he broke out of the forest, he looked toward the dormitories. No lights were on. Good. He began running toward the main building and saw a light on the top floor come on. The Principal’s office. Even better. He didn’t want to have to wake Mr. Loeren.

      Clearly the Arch had worked, since Snisnar appeared to be as good as new. It felt surreal running across the grounds toward a school that only a few minutes before had been in ruins. Well, more accurately, over six months from now…this time traveling thing was going to be difficult, grammatically speaking…

      He made himself invisible and rushed into the school, heading directly for Mr. Loeren’s office. As he traversed the vacant corridors, he felt as if he were in a haunted castle, but the ghosts within its walls were not dead – they were living and breathing. The only real ghosts on that campus were Dan’s own memories.

      He approached Mr. Loeren’s office and knocked on the door. He had barely finished knocking before the door opened.

      Hello, Daniel, Mr. Loeren said with a slightly sad smile.

      Dan never did get used to Mr. Loeren being able to see him when he was invisible…

      Please do come in, the resurrected Principal invited, stepping aside so that Dan could enter.

      Once the door was closed, Dan made himself visible again.

      Mr. Loeren, I’ve come back…from the future – Dan cringed slightly at his unintentional and equally unavoidable reference to the movie he had watched once at the orphanage – to warn you…

      Wait, Mr. Loeren cut him off sharply, taking a seat at his desk. "I do not wish to underestimate whatever motivations you may have for meddling in time travel, but before you continue, I must warn you of the dangers of what you are trying to do. There is no way for you to be able to predict the consequences of changing the events of the past. By righting even the slightest wrong, you could inadvertently trigger a much greater evil.

      That said, the Principal added with a resigned sigh, "I am fully aware that once you have set your mind on something, even I cannot dissuade you from continuing on your set course. Nonetheless, I shall take no part in your meddling by receiving information about the future from you. What you do with your past, present and future is, of course, your business, but I will not take part in changing
