Young Adult Fantasy Novel "Litchgates" Now Available

Jan. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Odenton, MD - December 18, 2012 - Local author, S.M.Boyce, released the young adult fantasy novel Lichgates (Grimoire Trilogy book #1) to remind kids of all ages how fun it is to read. Lichgates tells the tale of Kara, an ordinary girl that is pulled into the far-from-ordinary world of Ourea, where she must quickly adapt to her new role as a local legend called the Vagabond. Strange creatures, colorful characters, and a mythical world brings this tale to life as Kara explores her new home.

Set in modern day, Lichgates introduces Kara as she accidentally stumbles upon a "lichgate", a portal into the beautiful world of Ourea. Clumsy yet lovable, Kara makes her mark on the new world as she explores what the Grimoire has to offer. Little does she know that, once she opened her Grimoire, she accepted a new role as the Vagabond: a very unique hero.

When asked what her reasons were for choosing Kara as the main character, S.M.Boyce stated, "I chose Kara because she's strong, flawed, compassionate, and stubborn. Despite the grief and hardship she endures, she always strives to succeed...and I think that's something all of us can relate to." Explore Ourea alongside Kara as she gets in trouble and makes some unlikely friends during her journey to becoming the Vagabond.

Lichgates is available for purchase through most online eBook stores, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. You can purchase an autographed copy of the book in paperback by visiting http://www.store.smboyce.com.
