WINNER of the Golden Wizard Children's Book Award 2024!
NOMINATED for The Book of the Year Award 2024 in the Ages 8+ Category.

A world is in trouble, who can save it?

Certainly not Eric Scott, a 12 year old boy coming to grips with his own personal tragedy. But that's exactly what Stig, an owl from another world, asks him to do. Together, they are sent to deliver Calendria, a small fishing village, from Sharky, an immortal pirate captain that has enslaved them. But defeating Sharky and his band of bloodthirsty pirates will be no easy task.

When they arrive, Eric and Stig meet Kate Endria, who is convinced that they are the Deliverers-heroes of an ancient prophecy who are destined to defeat Sharky and his crew. Eric devises a plan that he hopes will work. Eric's confidence rises when they rescue Hallo Tosis, an outcast dwarf who gives them the key to a powerful weapon. But it's only after things start to go horribly wrong that Eric and Stig discover the true object of their mission.

THE GOLDEN WIZARD BOOK PRIZE REVIEW 2024:

This book is truly a masterpiece, showcasing the author's incredible talent on every single page. Slomba's writing style...blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality, immersing readers completely in the story.

The protagonist, Eric, is exceptionally well-crafted. As the plot unfolds, we witness his remarkable journey of self-discovery, gradually uncovering his inner strength and determination. This evolution of the character adds depth and relatability to the narrative, allowing readers to form a personal connection...and reminding us of our own untapped potential.

What else sets this astounding literary piece apart is its ability to resonate with a wide range of readers. It surpasses age boundaries, entrancing not only younger readers but also adults who will find themselves completely absorbed in its pages. The allure of this book is undeniable, and personally, I found it to be an absolute delight to read. I am eagerly looking forward to the next installment in the series, excited to continue the journey.

Gregory S. Slomba grew up in Connecticut reading The Phantom Tollbooth, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Lord of the Rings and dreaming of being a children's writer. After receiving his BA in English from the University of Dayton, he was raring to go. However, fate stepped in, turned everything upside down (as it so often does), and he found himself a banker. While working in the world of finance, he spent 17 years as an advisor to his church's high school youth group, writing them a Christmas story every year. After taking a four year career detour as an editor for a trade magazine, he felt ready to write his first book, The Deliverers: Sharky and the Jewel. He is currently hard at work on the sequel, which will be released early in 2013. Greg lives in Connecticut with his wife, Stephanie, and his children, Christian and Abigail.
