LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Local authori Tamara Brigham has released her first book, “White Pawn: Book One of the Kestrel Harper Saga.”

Elyri. ágdháni. Miracle-worker. Saint. Outcast. All Kavan desires is to be normal, the harper he trained to be. But prophecy thwarts the best plans and intentions.

From the moment he meets Arlan of Enesfel, Kavan’s imagined path is overthrown by forces beyond his control.

When a man of dubious heritage assumes the crown, it falls upon Kavan to aid Prince Arlan in reclaiming his birthright. Kavan’s quest for acceptance, from others, from himself, becomes entwined with politics and Faith and not even prophecy can guarantee his destiny.

At an early age, Tamara Brigham took on the challenge of rewriting childhood stories to end as she believed they should have ended.

This passion for the creativity of words and the fluidity of language blossomed into fashioning worlds, characters and tales of her own.

The desire to explore the capacity of fantasy and science fiction to foster people’s understanding of others, of events, ideas and emotion, has culminated in the release of “White Pawn: Book One of the Kestrel Harper Saga.”

Brigham has been a resident of Clearlake for 11 years, moving from Colorado to be nearer to her West Coast family.

“White Pawn” is her first publication. The second book in the series will be available later this year.
