title: The Obsidian Chimera: The Lost Ancients" Book Two (Volume 2)
author:  Marie Andreas 
description: Marie is a fantasy and science fiction reader with a serious writing addiction. If she wasn't writing about all the people in her head, she'd be lurking about coffee shops annoying total strangers with her stories. So really, writing is a way of saving the masses. Her first fantasy trilogy, The Lost Ancients, starts with The Glass Gargoyle coming out in March 2015, with book two, The Obsidian Chimera, following in fall 2015, and book three, The Emerald Dragon, coming out in winter 2015/2016. The rest of the series (currently planned at six books total) will be out in 2016 and 2017. When not saving the masses from coffee shop shenanigans, Marie likes to visit the UK and keeps hoping someone will give her a nice summer home in the Forest of Dean. To find out more about the books, and future series, please visit her website at www.marieandreas.com--especially if you happen to have a small cottage to give her.
