James Mackland (Author)
Jim is a retired British and Australian Army Officer who completed both the British and Australian Command and Staff Courses. He holds three master's degrees including in Military and Defence Studies. He had served with multiple nations including the USA and Canada. A veteran of Iraq, Bosnia, Northern Ireland and Afghanistan and a former combat and special forces medic, his choice of literature is fantasy - basically anything that you can escape from, from our, at times painful world, even just for a short time. Writing for me is a form of therapy, as many former soldiers do, I suffer from PTSD and its associated dramas, I remain heavily medicated, but my condition has slowly lessened as the pharmacology has kicked in and EMDR has allowed me to relive some of my previous experiences (in a controlled environment) and learn from them, it has especially removed the survivor guilt. I now am an active volunteer with our Rural Fire Brigade fighting our frequent wildfires and our State Emergency Service mainly conducting land searches for missing folks, in Far North Queensland where I now reside with my family. The camaraderie and service to my local area and wider, has brought me out from my initial reclusiveness on retirement, and has given me another sense of purpose. The Jitz Saga is a trilogy that follows Jitz through his life from a human adoptee of the Dwarven Kingdom to his rightful place back in the lands of man. The main characters in this series are very loosely based upon three outstanding soldiers that I had the privilege to serve alongside in Kabul.Book 2 Jitz and the Dark Alliance has been uploaded and I am truly happy with it, and I think that it is my best so far... much more adult. The final book in the trilogy Jitz the United Kingdoms and the Far Away Lands has also been completed and is now posted.I am currently writing a prequel to these novels - The Great Wars of Dwarves, Elf and Men, and am considering a stand-alone book on the Order of Drakontos Kavalaris - the Dragon Riders.You can find some book trailers on my YouYube channel: JimMacklandTVRead more about this authorRead less about this author

Jitz was apparently born on the roadside between the Kingdoms of Men and Dwarve, his mother dying in childbirth. His father returned the youngling to Mount Thorus and within his Clan, before taking the walk across the mountain, never to be seen again.

Jitz was bounced from family to family, he was a freak of a dwarf and shunned by the Clan and wider dwarven society. Jitz was sent above ground and joined the Dwarven Army, throughout his career he was never promoted and never made close friends, he was still seen as that peanut headed freak.

His presence got him noticed by King Olaff III and he became his private messenger and on occasion assassin, living in the royal palace he was close friends with the Kings daughter Lady Faros and it was Faros who found out about Jitz's true lineage. Jitz would be sent north into the Icelands to conduct a covert reconnaissance forward of the dwarven strongpoints and further than the elven scouts' forts, to identify if the banished dark elves, the Nosphorom, were still in existence and if so, if the harbored the intentions to attack the southern Alliance.

What ensues is a series of battles, skirmishes and attacks upon the elven forts and dwarven strongpoints, that leads to the Nosphorom invasion and subsequent siege of Mount Thorus and then into the Kingdom of the Elves. From the Icelands we will see the appearance of Lord Droston, the Edjilum trained assassin elf who has become the head of the Nosphorom and along with his creatures will witness him spread his rule and influence south.

During Jitz's travels he acquires the closest of friends, all who are by now battle hardened and committed to the defence of the Alliance. From the elves, Benodween Elf Scout Commander, his cousin Lady Endoween Elf King Protection Team, Tlincia Elf Scout and Jaxen Stormborn an Elven Ranger.

From the Icelands and the Wildthing nation, the sisters Nomia and Heitll and from the dwarves, Dweorgscott. Together they will fight their way in and out of all sorts of dangers, bonding them closer and closer together.

It is when the reach the Kingdom of Men that Jitz and his crew meet the Prince and Princess of Amethystine and the head of the secretive Order, the Drakontos Kavalaris, the human Dragon Riders. The Dragon Riders will play and epic part in the liberation of the invaded Kingdoms and linkages with Jitz and the Order becomes closer.

The Prince and Princess know his true lineage and what he is destined to become. But Jitz will surprise them both.

Lord Mammut and Lady Titan are the patriarch and matriarch of the Dragon herd, and they also know of Jitz. But there is a set of eight very special eggs in the hatchery at Benachie, long dead and petrified clutch that will herald a new chapter of Dragons that will strengthen the Alliance as never before.

And one Dragon of immense powers, Lady Deaveloe, will lead a new era of Dragons and their Riders - the Drakontos Octarchy. New Dragons and new Riders for the many battles to come.
