“A Fox and His Boy”
Book 6
A thousand years had passed since Amber and Mindy had changed the world where animals talk. In that time, the animals were liberated and were made equal to the humans that then ruled the world in different kingdoms. The humans ruled in the beginning, but the animals became more and more prominent in the kingdoms that man had built until the roles were reversed and the animals ruled in the kingdoms of the world. At first the humans didn’t mind and there was harmony and a golden age of wonder followed that lasted for five hundred years. But, with the passing of time comes forgotten deeds, and sadly history can be ignored. So, the animals conveniently forgot that in the distant past in the Kingdom of Maylock the humans had oppressed the animals that could talk. Now the animals were oppressing the humans and the roles were reversed. This was not only harmful for the humans, it also robbed the animals of the benefits humans brought when they were united. This was the sad state of the kingdom until a fox and his boy would change everything and bring balance back to the Kingdom of Maylock. But sinister forces do not want the humans to be equals in the kingdom and will do anything to stop that from happening. The fox, Gabriel and the boy, Lee must find the truth of the past before the kingdom falls into chaotic ruin, and prevent a war from taking place between the humans and the animals.
“The Voyage to Arli-an”
Book 7
After the humans were brought back into the Kingdom of Maylock, King Lee, Queen Mindy, and Gabriel the fox decide to take a voyage to the Kingdom of Arlie-an. This trip was supposed to be a visit only to reconnect the two kingdoms after they had been out of contact with each other for a thousand years. But the voyage proves to be more than any of them anticipate. The voyage has to deal with pirates from the Parrot Islands, and a treacherous white fox that has led the king and queen of Arlie-an to a place no one can find. Join Lee, Mindy, and Gabriel the fox as they once again have to go to the crystal Islands and Queen Candlelight’s castle to find answers to where the white fox has gone.
