The Elbionic race, also known as "elves," is all but extinct, forced to call a world dominated by humans home. Their culture dissipated, their ancestry only found in history books, and what's left of their magic is scattered across the globe inside material objects. Nico, an elf and a magic thief, has made her way to a small village town between two mountains called Pierce Valley in search of one of these mythical magic items. But after six months of searching, even a headstrong member of the once great People such as herself is finding the trial wearing. Luckily for her, there are rumors going around town about a witch that lives in the forest next to the Valley, and she comes out at night to feast on the flesh of the townsfolk as a sacrificial tribute to the dark gods she serves. It's just the lead Nico needs. In order to find this "witch," Nico enlists the aid of the only human friend she's ever made-the eye-patched enigma, Trust. But there's more to him than meets the "eye," and he's quite enthusiastic about helping Nico... As she digs deeper into the mystery of the witch, her discoveries will lead her into cataclysmic events that cross paths with monsters, machines, and gods alike. And when it all ends, her fate, as well as the world, may be changed forever.

The Towers were constructed to preserve both our species and our history. The earth has been exploited, mined, ravaged and polluted to the point that survival of the human race is threatened. The governments of the world collect, sort and their people accordingly. Some are used for their intellect, their strength and genetic superiority and then placed into hibernation. A select few, known as the Sisters become the guardians of the tower. The rest of humanity, a burden on our dwindling resources, are exterminated. These are the stories of those who fight the system, those who survive the hibernation, and those who inhabit the new world that is formed after the time of the Towers. In this collection you will find stories that range from twenty years in the future, to two thousand years in the future.

Welcome to the twin worlds of Ramnor and Rimnor: lush, beautiful, and magical. They are also the center of the Maker's universe, the cornerstone on which all of Creation is built. If one, or both are destroyed, then Creation itself will begin to unravel. And destruction of those worlds is the goal of the Lords of the Abyss, masters of the shadows that haunt the edges of Reality. To that end, they long ago gathered a vast army of demonspawn and made their war on Reality, defeated at the last possible moment by an alliance of mortal races and by the hand of the Creator themselves. Despite their defeat, the Lords have not given up trying to destroy all of Reality. And now, tens of thousands of years after their initial defeat, they once again threaten to destroy everything that ever was. Except this time even fewer will stand against them. And they themselves don't even know who they are, and what they are fated to do. Can this meager handful discover their destiny before it's too late and all of Reality dies in demon fire? Join heroes from the Humans, the Elves, the centaur-like Quada, the cat-like Muraan, and the fish-like Picea as they learn of their fates and struggle against the vanguard of evil that threatens to wash them away in the first book of the Sons of Ironstorm Chronicles, 'Griffon's Rise'. I hope you enjoy.
