ⓘ About Peter North
Peter North is a bestselling author of science fiction and fantasy fiction who loves to call himself a hero by night and an ogre by day. “Elemental Empire I” by Peter North is the story of Logan Greenwood who would rather be anywhere than at Pine Ridge trailer park. When he had made the decision to go back home to help his mother out of a tight situation he never expected that things would get so bad. Things turned very ugly when there is a freak storm that sucks him into another world where the least of his worries is family drama. Peter North’s “Elemental Empire 2” is a brilliant follow-up to the debut of the series full of sirens, nymphs, and naiads.
