THE MARESCIMAR CHRONICLES & SWABS
A cruel orphange, a computer game that turns out to be real, and a virus loose in time
Two series of books about adventure, magic, time-travel, angels, wizards, friendship, and standing up to bullies. Written for children and, like Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings and Nevermoor, enjoyed just as much by their older friends, parents and grandparents. All the books can be found on our Amazon page in both Kindle or paperback. Almost all the illustrations are by the incredible Ondine — and the Islands of Time team are seriously grateful to have met such an amazing talent. The image below is Blizzard, Ben, Minnow, Sky and Frank on clouds of Noesis high above the Islands of Time.
These books are shelved for children but ready by everyone!
First up is the SWABS series — about standing up to bullies. And the second is the Marescimar Chronicles — all about overcoming the Time Virus, as well as managing quite a few bullies on the way. These books have had reviews from across the world — Paris, Sydney, San Antonio, New York, Reykjavik, London, Hobart and Berlin, with readers aged from six to 99!
The first two SWABS books involve cousins Frank and Minnow standing up to bullies.
SWABS stands for the Secret Wizards Against Bullying Society.
Frank and Minnow spend most of their time building a computer game called the Time Again Game but when they’re not doing that you’ll often find them helping friends whose lives are being made miserable by people who think bullying is okay!
The SWABS series currently has two books:
• SWABS 1: The Bullied Twins
• SWABS 2: The Devious Bully
Then there are the Marescimar Chronicles where we meet angels, wizards, ice-witches, time pirates and many other supernatural creatures. There’s a lot of magic, including the physics of enchantment.
The Marescimar Chronicles has five big books – although I’m recreating some of those big books to make them into smaller volumes.
1. The Time Virus is the first book in the Marescimar Chronicles, and can be read as Books 1-4 in one large volume, or as four smaller books called The Time Virus Set :
• Book 1 —Skye Walker and the Time Again Game
• Book 2 — Skye Walker and the Time Virus
• Book 3 — Skye Walker and the Islands of Time
• Book 4 — Skye Walker and the Dragons
The Marescimar Chronicles continues …
2. Time Wizard is the second book in the Marescimar Chronicles, as Books 1-4 in one large volume, or in four smaller books called the Time Wizard set:
• Book 1 — Returning Time
• Book 2 — The Time-Righters
• Book 3 — Searching for the Time Wizard
• Book 4 — The Magic of Far Away from Me
Books 3, 4 & 5 of the Marescimar Series are:
3. The Magic Time Pirates is the third book in the Marescimar Chronicles and I haven’t yet recreated that as four smaller books but I’ll do that soon.
4. Charlie Gets Frocked is the fourth book in the Marescimar Chronicles and it is one book.
5. Ice-Witch Time is the fifth book in the Marescimar Chronicles and it is one book.
