Nicholas Mason is a fairly average teenager from the small town of Aberdeen, Washington, in his final year of high school. When an earthquake awakens him at a senior party he attends with his two closest friends, they find themselves face-to-face with a powerful starship created by an ancient civilization - a Caveship. Taken aboard against their will, Nicholas and his friends find themselves traveling farther and farther away from Earth, while the starship automatically pilots itself toward some unknown destination. Now, Nicholas and the ragtag group of teenagers must work together to find a way back home, facing incredible dangers on strange alien worlds, all while at the mercy of a starship hellbent on reaching its target.

Sequel to Black Ice | Deathsworn #1 "I cannot tell you to quell your anger because even I am simmering with it. Take care of that fire and use it to forge yourself further. Do not give it a chance to burn you. Never aim for revenge. Aim for redemption." Evy, Eren and Maun seeks refuge in the Temple of the Gods to prepare them for the vengeance of the evil they had repelled earlier--a disfigured empress, backed by an existence dabbling in unknown forces that may just tear at their whole world right through.

Tor's rebellion war against the Mindolarn Empire has delivered a crippling blow, the death of Emperor Mentas. Seeking aid from their allies, the Mindolarn Empire turns to the Principality of Soroth, and their society of mages-the Sorothian Magical Order. In an effort to aid their allies, the Order's council calls for an expedition to travel to the nethermost reaches of the world, the Abodine Wasteland. There they must venture to a reliquary of ancient tevisrals-magical objects-rumored to be hidden within crystal ruins leftover from a fabled war now long forgotten. Among those heading to the perilous wastes is Amendal Aremein, a conjurer with a quick-wit, keen mind, and a philandering appetite. Forced into this expedition, Amendal begrudgingly enters the depths of the reliquary. What he unearths will forever change his life and set the stage for the return of a Dark God. TALES OF THE AMULET Several millennia ago a war raged between the factions of dragonkind. With their world ravaged, the Kaldean Alliance forged the Amulet of Draconic Control and the Tethering Stone, and banished their foes to other realms, saving Kalda from utter destruction. Fearing the power of the Amulet, the survivors secreted it away. But now knowledge of the Amulet has resurfaced-and in the wrong hands, war could erupt anew. One of four stand-alone prequels to Tales of the Amulet, The Prisoner of Tardalim takes place fifty-five years before the quest to re-forge the Au'misha'k-the Amulet of Draconic Control. Update schedule will be erratic as this is a side project for the authors. *Cover Illustration Pending.
