Chronicles of Virago Book 1: The Novus
First in a series

by Michael K. Bialys



      Michael K. Bialys brings a new fantasy series dealing with the age old conflict of good versus evil. MacKenna Gold, a middle school student skateboarder, is the young heroine who is chosen as the Virago, the protector of the "gift." That gift is destined to lead the world into a new age of peace and enlightenment, and it happens to be her newborn brother and sister.

In Book 1: The Novus of The Chronicles of Virago series, readers are introduced to MacKenna and how she is called the Virago. She battles a demon hound and some very nasty-looking reptilian beings. She also is aided by a trio of protector fairies that can shape change into human beings.

The Chronicles of Virago is an engaging story with an intrepid heroine. Young readers will enjoy following MacKenna’s adventures and near escapes. The villains are chilling and their schemes relentless. I can’t wait to find out how Bialys handles MacKenna’s mission, whether he will jump far ahead in time or in smaller increments. After all, MacKenna will be protecting her young siblings for the rest of their lives. This is sure to be a popular series.
