Michael Ross McLeod Debuts with 'Lenaber and the Zwitch Team'

Author Michael Ross McLeod makes a compelling debut into the publishing world as he releases "Lenaber and the Zwitch Team," a tour de force fantasy novel that introduces readers to a new dimension where wizards, witches and their magic are real. In this good versus evil tale, a young man steps up to inherit the knowledge and power of his grandfather-albeit unknowingly at first-and journeys to a place and time where strife and danger are inevitable.

In a new mansion in Bel-Air, architects plant the Siu-Mang tree in the garden. As little is known of the mysterious tree, people from everywhere travel to get a chance to see it. Not only does it change its colors every now and then, but unheard-of creatures started dwelling on and around it. Before long, they pose a threat to the community. Little do the citizens know that the tree is the place where the sinister Queen Jeje grows evil, gigantic lizards called Kwasi.

Meanwhile, old Jarrod Zwitch must prime someone to take his post. Innocently, through a game, Lenaber learns the arcane abilities of his grandfather Jarrod, who guides and leads the young boy into another world and unveils the mysteries and secrets of their land. The still naïve hero soon finds himself in the middle of a war-one fought by his ancestors against witches, fiends and beasts. What began as a game becomes a real-life battle that he must lead to save the people he loves. Lenaber now stands to face his destiny and deal with an evil force threatening to wreak havoc on his land.

McLeod melds fantasy and lore to create an unmatched fantasy plot certain to hook enthusiasts of the genre. Mixed with tension, action and mystery, "Lenaber and the Zwitch Team" not only entertains readers, it makes them feel like they are part of it.
