About Mani:
Welcome to Mani, the silver world. For one thousand years, humans have walked the face of Mani, kings and lords and magi, wielders of the great elemental forces. In the white city of Nytaea, an orphanage is burned to the ground. With everyone she ever loved dead or kidnapped, Lyn and her last remaining friend set out to rescue their loved ones from the clutches of a tyrant king. But when the princess herself and a powerful High Mage pull her into their confidence, Lyn is swept into a larger tale of ancient history and deep secrets—ones with personal relevance to her. For a girl can only for so long hide the fact that a monster lurks inside her, a brutal strength unknown to her world.
Mani is my debut novel, and the first book in The Mother Trilogy. Classic fantasy meets Superman in this young-adult sci-fantasy tale of colliding worlds, exploring the boundaries of a fantasy world: what holds one together, and what can unravel it? Follow me on this journey through the eyes of Lyn, the teenage girl caught in the middle.

Author Bio:
Jacob Gamber grew up in Araluen, Alagaësia and Fablehaven, and spent the remainder of his childhood in rural Pennsylvania, telling stories to sheep. When the time came to embark on his own journey to a fantasy world, he botched it thoroughly several times and eventually got a full-time factory job. Presently, he lives in eastern Ohio with his wife and children. He enjoys music, role-playing games and puzzles, and is reportedly allergic to bad love triangles.
Hi guys, I’m Jacob Gamber and I love to write Fantasy and Science Fiction—usually erring on the side of Fantasy. As a Christian writer, I like to uphold traditional values and biblical morality on the broad scale, but my stories are not allegorical and would largely be considered mainstream. I like to challenge teen and adult readers with thought-provoking concepts and situations that could only arise in Fantasy, but without all the graphic content and tenuous morality commonplace in today’s literature.
Some fantasy authors who inspired me would be C.S. Lewis, Brandon Mull, John Flanagan, Rick Riordan, Brian Jacque, Ursula K. Le Guin, Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, to name a few.

My serial fantasy story, Tales from the Earthen Sky, can be found there—as well as on Royal Road.
