Anna Griffin, mother of Walton High School freshman Elias Griffin, writes in to say that her son is a published author, and has more volumes in mind of a fantasy novel series.
“A Bond Through Time,” volume 1 of what he’s calling the Wyrmborm Saga, is available in hardcover, paperback and electronically via Amazon.
Elias is 14 and is already studying advanced classes at Walton, and which informed his book, which is aimed at readers between the ages of 13-18.
It’s a tale of The Wymborm Prophecy, which vows to “bring an era back to the world that has been lost. . . . And all it will take is events that shape what one person has to do. Time shall pass, but eventually, peace will rule over the lands anew.”
The novel tells about a massive war “so catastrophic that all of the species vowed never to go to war again. Those vows, however, were easily forgotten over millennia,” and “darkness is beginning to brew once more all around the world of Amphiria.”
Elias has populated his novel with a rich collection of “praesens characteres” in both military and civilian roles.
“He created an original world full of rich lore, maps, and unique characters. We are beyond proud of the discipline and creativity it took for him to achieve this literacy milestone,” Anna writes.
“It took him over two years to accomplish this. He has been an avid reader since age eight, and we never imagined he would be motivated to take on the goal of writing and publishing his own book!”
She said Elias is already working on the second book while maintaining A’s and a rigorous class schedule at Walton.
