Dru Simon has been writing in one venue or another for most of her life, though she claims that The Siliphore mostly wrote itself. An avid reader and collector of classic movies, Dru lives in southern California with her husband, two parrots and an umbrella cockatoo. Freed from the horrors inflicted on him by Prince Pash with the unworldly dagger The Siliphore, Sennic Selidax must piece together the shards of his humanity and courage. Believing the prince has been defeated, Sennic must set out again on a seemingly hopeless quest to find the lost priest, Barak. Using the combined power of The Siliphore and the Collar of the Kings, Jave, the demon-like ruler of a parallel world means to use Prince Pash to transform Sennic's rich, green kingdom into his own hellish landscape. Once more Sennic must reach within himself to become the hunter instead of the prey as his adversaries grow more frightening and powerful than his worst nightmares could ever have predicted. The intricate world of The Siliphore is filled with myriad landscapes and complex characters. They join Sennic on his journey to find his mentor and the wisdom to confront adversaries more powerful and frightening than any monarch has ever faced. NOTE: Contains violence and adult content.
