Sphere of Stones Series

The year is 3268. After a long period of time suffering consistent catastrophic events, more than a quarter of God's creations, that roam the earth, have perished by the fury of an unbalanced realm. As many centuries pass, the earth's atmosphere began to offer all whom live upon it, a better way of living. The human race has a chance to rebuild, restructure and renew thier lives. The old ways were unknown to the current civilization. No one really knows why the earth changed so dramatically. Some say it was global warming, while others blame it on God himself.

The lands are ruled and governed by powerful Kings and Lords. Two great armies, the KON army, ruled by the most powerful and wealthy man in the world, King Ray Armikon of Tatius. The SIN army, ruled by the evil Lord Slavon Sindorio of Viozon. These rulers fight to rule all of the Northern Hemisphere. Swords, bows, arrows, axes and catapults are the main weapons used to maintain these feuding armies. Furious wars and battles saturate the earth with the blood of those who fight for what and whom they believe in. Fact, fiction and fantasy collide as now the pieces of a once crumbled world will finally start to put itself back together, as one young woman discovers her unknown meaning of life. On an early fall morning in September, Adeems's home in Pathaway Village is invaded by two soldiers of the SIN army. Sent by the evil Lord Slavon Sindorio, he orders the men to retrieve a stone that is presumed to hold an unknown specific kind of power. Oblivious to what the soldiers' want, Adeema fears for herself and the safety of her mother, Leela. Journey through the Fantom Forrest takes Adeema to meet up with her two brothers, King Ray's sons and thier seven Royal Swordsmen on a journey to faraway places to see and do unthinkable things they could have never fathomed humanly possible. These thirteen people risk thier lives for a purpose they cannot understand. They must work together and learn to trust one another as they endure life, death and the harsh reality of the true meaning of survival. Little does Adeema know that she alone holds all the answers to the unknown reasons for the world's colossal revolution.

My name is Shandi Niles. I am a Fantasy Adventure writer. Sphere of Stones was an epic battle that began in my head in 2001 and took me 10 years to finish. This nine book series was completely written pen to paper. (When the battle began, I didn't own a computer.) Even today with a keyboard at my fingertips, I still rely on the common ball point pen and college ruled paper. I have done my best to model, shape and create a story that will take you places you could never imagine, to become a part of some very brave, courageous and intersting characters. I truly hope everyone will enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I was born in a small town in Kentucky and lived there until the age of 5. I spent the rest of my life in California where I met my husband at the age of 11 and married him at the age of 19. We are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this year and have 3 beautiful children, two boys and a girl.
