Drink deeply by land or sea. Earth comes only once.

This boxed set contains all three books in The Fisherman’s Son children’s fantasy adventure series.

The Fisherman’s Son is a children’s novel about the adventures of twelve-year-old Wiley O’Mara. On the back of a magical dolphin, he rescues six boys trapped in an ancient city under the ocean. Along the way, he fights both The Beast in the Forest and a Fire Beast guarding the city of old.

In The City of the Golden Sun, Wiley returns with the six boys to the ancient city under the ocean. Once there, Wiley takes a backseat to Keegan, the son of King Reginauld, and to the magnificence of the ancient city itself. As the city comes alive once more, Wiley and his friends immerse themselves in its daily life, exploring a world lost to time.

In Return of the Golden Age, Wiley travels with the group of boys from the magnificent ancient city submerged beneath the ocean to his own impoverished island. The boys, having been protected for thousands of years by a magical air bubble, must now adjust to life in a poor village at the turn of the nineteenth century. It’s up to Wiley to help them survive. He must also help his fellow villagers understand their heritage: that they are descendants of a rich and powerful people. This book is filled with magical beings and places, including golden rings and a mysterious cave.

REVIEWS:

The Fisherman’s Son (The Fisherman’s Son Series Book 1):

Piers Anthony, Author of the Xanth series, the Incarnations of Immortality series, the Adept series, and so much more:

Now I have read The Fisherman's Son. This is a nice children's fantasy, grounded in realism. Even the fantastic element is realistic, in that the dolphin doesn't abridge the rules just for convenience; the right introduction has to be made. It's not all right to make the excuse “I lost the cup because of a bear.”

James A. Cox, Editor-in-Chief of the Midwest Book Review:

The Fisherman’s Son is a delightful and colorfully narrated tale which documents Marilyn Peake as a story teller of considerable narrative skill.

Rebecca Brown, Founder of RebeccasReads:

The Fisherman’s Son is a complex tale simply written, with fascinating detail & unblinking reality borrowing from legends & sagas deep within our collective memories.

The City of the Golden Sun (The Fisherman’s Series Book 2):

Rebecca Brown, Founder of RebeccasReads:

One of the endearing aspects of The City of the Golden Sun is how the boys see Wiley's world & learn how to adjust to it.

Another grand adventure from Marilyn Peake that will keep young readers glued to the pages. Often intensely lyrical, gigglingly funny & always magical, with sea creatures galore, Humpback Whales, Porpoises & Turtles, oh my..!

Tracy Farnsworth, RoundTableReviews:

It is very apparent how much research was spent on the history of Atlantis...My ten-year-old son, an avid fantasy reader, loves these books.

Return of the Golden Age (The Fisherman’s Son Series Book 3):

Rebecca Brown, Original Editor and Publisher of RebeccasReads:

Return of the Golden Age is filled with magical beings & places (& any resemblance to the fabled green Isle of Erin is just a figment of your imaginings), including golden rings & a mysterious cave.

Once again, Marilyn Peake has penned a winner. Dive in & meet the boys & all manner of magical things.

Jennie S. Bev, Managing Editor, BookReviewClub:

I truly enjoyed Marilyn Peake’s Return of the Golden Age. This final book of The Fisherman’s Son trilogy is more than engaging. Its realism and surrealism elements are genuine and breathtaking.
