Stefan Bolz

The Fourth Sage Stefan Bolz

Publisher Marketing: Fifteen-year-old Aries Egan lives in one of five super high rises in a nameless city. There is no government. There are no schools. People are controlled by a ruthless Corporation. Any deviation from the Moral Code, the code of living set forth by the Corporation, is punished - sometimes with prison, sometimes with torture, sometimes with death. Aries hacks into the main frame computer, creating a loop with the camera feed to her room and so stealing one hour per night for herself. Sometimes she reads a book. That alone could send her to prison for three months. At other times, she roams the massive building via the air ducts. During one of her nightly excursions, she finds something that has the power to change her life and that of everyone around her. But in order for her to follow it, she has to become an outlaw, a criminal, an enemy of the Corporation. As the hunt for her unravels, she flees ever deeper into the belly of her building. What awaits her there, she could not possibly have foreseen. And the fate of her people now rests on her ability to survive. "A book for a new generation of fantasy readers." (Crystal's Many Reviewers) "A timely, relevant story." Kimberly Llewellyn "The philosophies and creativity this ebook was filled with were absolutely amazing, and the situations were intense. There wasn't a single break for Aries, who was met with adversity at every turn." Undiscovered Tomes "I highly recommend this book." Hanna Elizabeth, Author of 'Visions of Wool - A Silo Story' "Unique in a Sea of Generic Books." Will Swardstrom, Author of 'Dead Sleep.' "I have yet another book hangover - So worth it!" Mom of a Boy with Lots of Toys " I actually took a day off from fishing so I could stay in the cabin and finish the book." Joseph Felice "Fast-paced and stylish... I highly recommend it!" Richard Bennett "The mix of suspense, adventure, and emotion hooked me immediately." KellyLiz Contributor Bio:  Bolz, Stefan Born and raised in the beautiful Main River Valley in Germany, Stefan came to the U. S. in 1996 after attending a three-month long retreat in the Catskill Mountains. He studied psychology and creative writing at SUNY New Paltz. In his free time he likes to write poetry, shorts and screenplays, attend Karate lessons, read, go hiking and watch Lord Of The Rings. He knows this doesn't sound like much and there is a lot more to it but he thought he'd get at least some of it into this bio. He lives with his four girls-his long time girlfriend, her two daughters, and a black lab named Sophie (together with a bunny and an ever changing number of back yard chickens)-in the Hudson Valley, New York. "It was at the age of seventeen, when I first realized that I wanted to write. It took me twenty years to actually start doing it and another ten before I wrote my first novel. Never give up."
