Daryl Rothman
Young Adult Fantasy,
Literary Suspense, Magical Realism
I’m a writer. From childhood I kindled three dreams: to one day become a father, a writer, and a baseball player.
Two of three ain’t bad. (I shall neither confirm nor deny holding out deluded hope for the third.) Most of what I write is fiction, but not all. I write the occasional article and guest post, and conduct some interviews. I’m an English major, have a masters in social work, and have been an early childhood leader/advocate for many years. I’m sports-obsessed, love animals, and love to share the veritable treasure trove of pithy comments from my kiddos, particularly my little girl, about whom I receive regular requests for more “Rachelisms.”

“I loved this book! David Rose is an inspiring but true-to-life hero and a model for young boys as they navigate the twists and turns of early adolescence. Rothman’s writing is powerful and complex, much more so than you’d expect from a typical YA novel. And the story is just plain ol’ fun! Swords, castles, ancient legends, mythology, magic, and centuries-old duels – what more could you want in a YA fantasy novel?” ~ Amira Makansi (5 STARS)

It’s been less than a year since his fateful 15th birthday, but for David Rose, everything has changed. He’s learned of his immortality, discovered a sinister plot centuries in the making, and survived an attempt on his life at a medieval castle in England. Through it all, he’s more convinced than ever that his mother is alive.
David has been awakened to a wondrous new world, yet one fraught with peril. His awakening has served as a beacon to other immortals, some of whom view him as a threat to be dispatched.
