Grounded for Life…by Demonic Forces

On the alien world of Shadowind, Logan and Mindy’s journey to find their parents is cut short by a distress call. They return to their village and find their house destroyed…and all their friends have vanished. But the siblings also discover vital clues left behind by a mysterious riddle master. As Logan and Mindy begin their search, evil Lord Grieve—one of the most powerful Deep Shadows—builds a secret fortress. Together with his brutal robot overseers, the specter will launch his conquest of the realm from deep within his impenetrable citadel, protected against the only weapon that can kill him.

With help from a guide in this otherworldly dimension, the siblings decipher what they need. Now it’s up to them to find it—then get to their tortured friends before it’s too late. But all the while their twisting quest leads them ever closer to Grieve’s deathtrap… (Read more) Grounded for Life…by Demonic Forces

“Tense, well-plotted, and sure to fascinate readers of all ages, The Grounding Stone dives through space and other dimensions to pit Logan and Mindy Oakes against a dark, powerful enemy. The characters come alive through the words of L.A. Miller and capture readers’ hearts. Definitely an author to keep your eye on.”

—David Niall Wilson, author of The DeChance Chronicles and The Parting

“It’s a wild romp with Mindy and Logan as they desperately look for clues
to free their friends enslaved by the insidious Dark Shadow Lord Grieve.”

—Chuck Kelly, author of Legend of Otherland

“The Grounding Stone, book two in L.A. Miller’s Quests of Shadowind series, is a fast-paced tale of adventure set on a truly strange world where the animals are robotic and mysteries abound. Equal parts science fiction, fantasy, and thriller, this book for young readers also contains a good dose of humor despite the serious problems that face its young protagonists—such as finding their missing parents and learning the nature of the world they inhabit. If your children love SF and fantasy, The Grounding Stone would be a fine
addition to their library (and parents will enjoy reading it too).”

—Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff, author of Rocket Boy and the Geek Girls, Shadow Conspiracy I & II, and Dragon Boys and Warrior Women
