Julie has been captured by Expansion.

A riveting interstellar adventure unfolds as Caedin receives a desperate message from his beloved, Julie. She is attempting a perilous escape to the planet Arcadia but is captured en route by Expansion. Caedin joins forces with his trusted friends, Sayge and Martina, unaware of his genetically-altered metabolism, as they embark on a high-stakes mission to find and rescue her.

The trio navigates a universe torn between two major powers: The Resistance, a rebel faction fighting against authoritarian rule, and Expansion, a merciless empire that stops at nothing to exert its control. As they journey throughout the galaxy, they gather clues pointing towards Julie's possible imprisonment on Arcadia. Along the way, they make both friends and foes—each encounter deepening their paths’ complexities and ratcheting up the stakes.

Combining the science fiction of alien planets and advanced technology with the fantasy of magic, super abilities, and Mother Earth, Ian Flint’s novel shares the story of Leo Trevelion a 20-year-old who until now, led a mundane life in the South of England. But the moment he turned twenty-one life changes beyond his wildest dreams.


A debut novel that screams new literary talent, Ian Flint’s Leo Trevelion and the Lion Ring immerses readers in a tale of how Leo’s life transforms overnight. And a bit like Harry Potter, it ticks the ‘must read’ literary box for readers of all ages.

Synopsis:


Most people who know Leo Trevelion would agree he was an ordinary, though troubled, young man who had lost his way in life. On his 21st birthday, when the stories his grandfather used to tell him as a child start to come true, Leo’s life is transformed overnight.


In a hi-tech alien world, deep below the surface of the Earth, where the highly evolved Leonisians have lived undetected for over eighty-years, a rare planetary event threatens their very existence. After escaping annihilation on their home planet, they now face attack by their old enemy the Vraegil.


The Leonisians are passivists, ill equipped for war, and their survival depends on Leonisian elder Altera, and a wise old wizard Tirwald, awakening and transforming the last survivor of a guardian race – Leo Trevelion. As Leo’s mind is opened to ancient memories and magic, he is drawn further into the Leonisian world, and an adventure that involves an army of little people called the Norbun; a meeting with Dryan, Spirit of the Tree and the Soothsayers; a journey to the Ocean Layer to find the Architheus, a giant sea monster that guards the Armring of Light; and the revealing of advanced weaponry developed in secret by Altera and his scientists.


As the Vraegil appear through a wormhole that connects the two worlds, the battle for survival commences. But was it all in vain?


The book is receiving 5-star reviews:


"This book was recommended to me and although not my usual genre, I found the book a page turner, I couldn’t put it down until I finished. A gripping story that kept me entertained to the end. Now a fan of fantasy sci-fi!"
