Bøker av Jason Balistreri

Four generations of the Taft family consist of (depending on who you talk to), a ringmaster, an astronaut, a scientist, and an artist all living in America both in the past and in the future. The book is told from all of their perspectives every three chapters in an experimental style that I don't have a name for, the goal was they would all dovetail in the same shape. They each experience death and each makes decisions about their futures, like we all do. The book takes place in different time periods and strives to be something that you'll find kind words for when you're talking with your mother or father.

A young knight named Peter Raion, who is about to be married, is sent to investigate a series of ritualistic animal sacrifices and discovers there are children that have been taken too. He confronts a sorceress and a giant knight in scaly armor, believed to have been killed twenty years ago, and they nearly kill him. With the help of an old monk named Ben Shaw who fought them long ago, he sets out to stop them but they will need the help of a pirate, two mages, and a changeling to discover how the two came back and what they plan to do. It is a dying world in many ways, but they must try to save the children, before the Scarlet Queen and the Crimson Knight finish what they started a generation ago.
