A Witch is Born
Book 1
A Witch is Born: The Adventures of Cassandra Rho introduces you to the protagonist Cassandra Rho. Orphaned at birth, Cassandra Rho struggles to find her identity in the strange and magical world she lives in. Along the way, she discovers that she possesses mystical, arcane powers. Her struggles to control her abilities, as well as her temper, soon make her an outcast. Few understand the young woman she becomes, and fewer still grow close enough to see the emotional pain that drives her. Her dedication to her family, her few genuine friends, and her potential lovers only add to her erratic behavior.
The Quest for Zolmex
Book 2
The Quest for Zolmex: The Adventures of Cassandra Rho continues with Cassandra searching for answers. Cassandra Rho, separated from her family who remains in the hostile environment of Oldorburg, tries to begin a new life in the beautiful city of Pelesea. Although she finds new friends and unexpected romance there, the pressures of life in a strange city slowly get the best of her. As doubts about her family’s well-being slowly creep into her thoughts, Cassandra finds herself drawn to the goddess Gella, which leads her to an unexpected discovery concerning Zolmex, her birthright. A strange old hermit that she meets living in the cellar of Gella’s temple offers to help her find the artifact and tells her of her origins. Soon after, Cassandra and her friends embark on an adventure to find Zolmex. Unfortunately, unexpected dangers and betrayals threaten to destroy the party well before they reach their destination.
The Barbarian King
Book 3
The Barbarian King: The Adventures of Cassandra Rho continues to follow Cassandra’s search for love and acceptance. Cassandra Rho, imprisoned in Pelesea for treasonous acts against the king, holds out hope that the misunderstandings can be forgiven. Little does she know that a diabolical plan to kidnap her is already in the works, and the king’s forgiveness quickly becomes irrelevant. Snatched from Pelesea by a vile enemy, she embarks on a dangerous journey that takes her around the world. Alone and thought dead, she is left to her own devices to survive the ordeal, which consists of many dangers, including fighting for her life in a gladiator pit.
The Awakening
Book 4
In The Awakening: The Adventures of Cassandra Rho author Phillip Martin continues the saga of the fantasy series’ protagonist. This book is an enticing adventure of good-versus-evil, bringing together a fallen god, an enraged barbarian, and a dark prophecy. The focus of the prophecy, Cassandra Rho, tries to hide from it desperately. But forces of evil actively hunt her, led by the despicable priestess Matilda.
After learning of the prophecy, The New Order prepares to defend the world against the evil that threatens humanity. But the outlook is bleak. Perhaps a powerful tome, read by a fragile mind, might find Cassandra before the agents of the demon-god can.
Birthright
Book 5
Join Cassandra Rho in this exciting tale of adventure as she searches desperately for her birthright—the artifact known as Zolmex. Battling the forces of evil that are intent on her demise, she hopes the artifact can protect her from the dark prophecy that threatens to devastate humanity.
To eliminate the threat, the New Order sets sail from Pelesea, intent on ending the evil that the dark prophecy promises by any means necessary. If eliminating Cassandra saves the world, the New Order is not opposed to exploring that option.
Birthright is the fifth installment of the Cassandra Rho series, and the pages within finally reveal Cassandra’s ultimate success or failure in her quest to find Zolmex.
The Prophecy
Book 6 - COMING SOON!
The time has come. A dark prophecy has arrived. Cassandra Rho’s blood must be spilled, and if that comes to pass, humanity is doomed. Cassandra, caught and tortured by the agents of Marnelphion, succumbs to the torment and the pending doom of her sacrifice. Meanwhile, the New Order, as well as her friends and sister, search for her, desperate to save her from that awful fate.
Standing in the way of Cassandra’s rescue are not just the priests of Marnelphion, but other dark agents, including a vicious demon, a fallen god, a princess pirate, a strange race of half- cyclop beings, as well as other agents of evil. The outlook is bleak, and the chance to save Cassandra and, in turn, the human race, wanes.
Join Cassandra and her friends as they fight to avoid the ritual referred to as the Great Summoning, the final step of the prophecy that will bring Marnelphion, the demon lord, back to the human realm. Good always wins, right? Find out in The Prophecy, the sixth book in the Cassandra Rho series.
