Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
THE TRILOGY
The Arqensia Trilogy by Benjamin George follows young Klay on his epic quest for the truth, from his grandfather's attic to the far corners of planet Arqensia.
He can barely believe that he is the one being chosen to pursue the Aquila and uncover his planet's best-kept secrets, but there is no time to ponder the fact. People in high places want Klay captured, and the fulfilment of his destiny relies on him acting with courage and speed.
This coming-of-age story has been called "a wholesome, gripping and beautiful adventure" as well as "an extraordinary tale told with terrific imagination and pace."
There are a wide range of themes explored in the Arqensia Trilogy: truth, beauty, adventure, calling, family legacy, friendship, freedom, power, good vs. evil, and more.
The Trilogy was created with both adults and children in mind. It shares deep truths and big ideas in wholesome and accessible ways — and always with a touch of humour and good grace. The Arqensia Trilogy is not aimed at a specific age range or group of people, and I have had encouragements from people aged 8-80. But because it is centred on a journey to adulthood, it is probably best suited for teens and young adults.
THE AUTHOR
Benjamin George always liked ideas and words.
One day, it dawned on him that some ideas were far better than others. Thus began the long and satisfying project of searching for the world’s best ideas and trying to put them into words.
Some of the best ideas were hidden in strange and foreign places, though. So Benjamin went off to various cities, villages, communities and farms - some far-flung and some closer to home - looking for inspiration. He saw beautiful things, met crazy pioneers, lived through difficult experiences, and made some wonderful memories.
These adventures created an alternative world in the author's heart, which needed to be expressed. A fiction story seemed the right way to do it, and that is how the Arqensia Trilogy was born.
Benjamin George grew up in Bristol, UK, and is now based in East Sussex.
He is married to the wonderful Pauline and they have a son and a daughter.
They love people, stories, gardens, and time around the table. Benjamin's Christian faith is the star around which the rest of his life orbits.
THE TEAM
I am hugely grateful to these wonderful people for their role in making the Arqensia Trilogy a reality:
> My wonderful wife Pauline who gives me advice so good I can't believe it's not professional, helps out with admin, and cares for our children while I write
> Steve Carter, my fantastic editor who has been so generous with his time and skill, and has massively enhanced the story
> Lucie Desmets, the brilliant artist who has painted two magnificent book covers
> My dedicated proof-reader Abi whose skill and wisdom is really adding value to the story.
Big thanks also goes to those who have read the books and offered endorsements, as well as anyone who has taken the time to give me encouraging feedback about my books.
