WESTMINSTER, Colo., January 9, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- It was supposed to be just a boring field trip for Burris Samson Debowski. However, when his plane unexpectedly plunges from 20,000 feet, it becomes a ticket to another world. Burris is the only survivor of the crash, and his adventure is just beginning. Mark Irlanda introduces his exciting new fantasy series in Wizards 3: The Legend's Choice (now available through 1stBooks).
Burris, 10, survived through hardships and emotional loss. He has been haunted by dreams since his father's disappearance, and they intensified when his loving mother passed away. He still gets good grades, has a loving grandmother and a loyal best friend, but his dreams tempt his mind, driving him to the verge of sanity. Then, the plane crashes, and Burris is transported to a wondrous unknown world, parallel to his own. This world is one of dark spells and wars between wizards, dragons and kings. Only Burris can put an end to these wars. In this world, he is a legend.
As the prophecy of the land has stated, Burris must make a journey and a choice. He must choose a wizard, hopefully the least evil of the three. There is a bitter wizard that controls fire and ice, and a dark wizard that wields the wind and lightning. The last wizard is a cannibal that controls liquids. Along the journey, Burris makes new friends and finds help in the wise magician Winore and his apprentice Rea, who guides Burris on his quest. However, the young boy also meets some who do not want the wars to end and will stop at nothing to kill Burris. Will this child make it out of this world alive?
Find out in this story of strength, survival and imagination, Wizards 3: The Legend's Choice, an exciting beginning to an amazing new series.
Born in New York City, Irlanda had a rough, nomadic childhood, attending 12 different schools between elementary and high school and living in more than 20 different houses. Irlanda lives in Colorado where he devotes his time to managing his own youth hockey program.
