The Griffin Moonstone by VJ Garske

Some days it doesn’t pay to be the hero.

Consumed by grief and revenge, Noah can’t remember what a shower feels like. When the Estonian Coven plasters his face on wanted posters, Castle Dragon hides him away in the enchanted Cromwell Forest.

Tricked into solving a ghost’s murder, Noah finds himself on a quest to unravel the mystery of the Griffin Moonstone. Just another day in the life of a probationary apprentice wizard who can’t keep his mouth shut.

Jesse tracks him down—goodbye, secret hideout—with a crazy plan to enter the Winter Games and hide in plain sight. Ranger reluctantly agrees to coach the underdogs. But how do you train for a twisted wizard’s reality show in an Ice Castle with its own agenda?

Noah’s tendency to act first, think later lands him in hot water. In a Fae court where public opinion matters more than truth, he’s on trial for his life.

An imaginative fantasy adventure for teens and adults who enjoy magic, humor, and action without profanity or mature content.

About the Author

Embracing the Magic of the Open Road:

The open road called to me, and I couldn’t resist its allure. So, I embarked on an epic adventure in my beloved Transit van, which I affectionately dubbed ‘Vanimal.’

I explored the back roads of America, from the rugged badlands to towering forests, from meandering rivers to enchanting waterfalls. Each new bend in the highway held the promise of magic. And all of it sparked my imagination.

Soon, an idea for a novel emerged. Inspired by the people, places, and sights along the way, my story sprang to life — a wizard here, a raven there, and a sprinkling of mischievous goats. Sweetwater, an imaginary small town, became the foundation for my debut novel, “The Raven Moonstone.”

Many miles later, I’ve gathered the courage to share my optimistic and quirky tale. It all began as a story for my grandson, and now I invite readers of all ages to discover the magic of forgiveness within the pages of my book.
