Outcasts - Freestone, Adam

. .

Résumé :
Two years have passed since book 2. Hyroc is now 18 and has mastered the use of the Flame Claw. But despite his newfound powers, he is more vulnerable than ever. With the completion of his training, he is no longer protected by a Guardian, and Ursa has long since departed. Nevertheless, his unknown adversary is still out there, and Hyroc remains ignorant of the plot against him. The last two years have only heightened the suspicion and distrust that the villagers of Elswood hold toward him, and some are outright hostile. These behaviors solely focused on him have enveloped Donovan, Elsa, and Curtis. The charity and compassion they had initially received proceeding the spider attack have all but vanished. They are outcasts, living on the razor's edge. Hyroc does what he can to help, but it's not enough. Whether or not they can remain in Elswood weighs heavily on their minds. But even as they struggle to eke out a living in the forest, darkness gathers around them. Keller, The Ministry zealot that hunts Hyroc, has not forgotten about him and has not been idle. Quietly he has moved his pieces into position. It will take every ounce of strength for Hyroc and his friends to survive the coming storm, and everyone may not make it out of this alive.

Biographie:
My name is Adam Freestone. Apart from being an author, I have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I am confined to a wheelchair and my condition requires me to use a ventilator and other medical equipment. Because of this, I am not a person most people are accustomed to seeing. My disability makes my day-to-day routine challenging, and it takes a lot of determination and patience to get anything done. Oddly enough, trying to show what I go through is what originally gave me the idea for the main character of my Sentinel Flame books, Hyroc. Hyroc is not disabled, but he is different than everyone else, and this causes him problems. I wanted to present how I live with my disability in an interesting way readers would find intriguing. Though Hyroc's story occurs in a medieval fantasy world, what he has to deal with is very similar to what I experience in my everyday life. I tried to reflect through the character that though my situation seems dark and depressing, there is light in my life, and that's what keeps me going.

But it has absolutely no impact on my mind. My disability makes my day-to-day routine challenging. It takes a lot of determination and patience to get anything done.

I tried to reflect through the character that sometimes we have to deal with trying times or make tough choices, but if you fight hard enough, you'll find something good eventually, no matter how dark things may appear....
