Spirians The Beginning

By Rowena Portch

About the Book

To see your true potential, you must look past your expectations.

Armen knew a time when Earth existed in peace. Now, the Shadows rule the Earth and Armen feels the threat of extinction—until Shanuk, a cocky young warrior, reveals gifts that were never before witnessed. Shanuk shows promise, but power comes with a price. Shanuk can mature into the most powerful Spirian in history, or become a devastating Shadow. Like most Spirians with formidable gifts, venturing to the dark side is a tempting choice—one that has not escaped the Shadows’ notice. Bayour, Shadow leader and a puissant adversary, wants Shanuk to join his horde and rule by his side. If he succeeds, the Spirians will be annihilated.

Rowena Portch

Rowena is a multi-award-winning author who started writing at a young age; driven by an inherent need to tell stories that inspire and reflect aspects of life that are rarely considered. Being a descendant of James Hudson Taylor, author and founder of the China Inland Mission, Rowena comes from a long line of story tellers, including her mother and father. The tradition of writing continues through her daughter, Erika. Though she is ninety percent blind, she doesn’t allow that to derail her ambitions. She may be blind but she certainly does not lack vision.
