A young peasant battles a murderous tyrant and a deadly plaque to save the woman he loves.
Shows young people that magic, sorcery, and super-powers are not required to succeed
As though pulled from today's headlines, the eponymous title Scourge is a highly contagious and deadly disease
Will appeal to fans of George R.R. Martin who prefer a medieval adventure story with a "PG-13" rating
Fosters the concept that inward qualities eclipse outward appearances
Honestly explores the challenges of being different in a world that prizes conformity
Demonstrates that coming to terms with one's heritage-while sometimes costly-is ultimately freeing
This coming-of-age story illustrates that the journey to self-acceptance is often painful
Emphasizes the sine qua non of being true to oneself
"A wonderful story that takes you through every emotion imaginable!"
-Greg Gilpin, American composer
