~ENTER THE COLLEGIUM IF YOU DARE~ It sits between dreams and nightmares, reality and fantasy, black and white. It sits upon magic, the magic of Merlin, and the magic that has been successfully kept secret from the world for centuries. It is the Collegium. It is sick. It must be saved.

The inevitable is coming: technology must evolve alongside magic. The earth wills it. After the Third Holocaust nearly extinguished life on her surface, the earth yearns for renewal and she hungers to guide mankind to its destiny ... but it may not be ready. Trained from boyhood to be protectorate of the only known community of survivors, Blaze's world turns upside down when he fails to protect the Order from an unexpected and devastating attack. Then, as he discovers his mentor has turned executioner, finds himself accused of treason while traveling to Moon 514, and falls victim to Toka's secret gene splicing experiments, Blaze's troubles seem boundless as space itself. His life is further thrown into confusion when he learns his legendary skills in weaponry are useless against the psionic powers of a small alien whose name no one can pronounce - at least, not without two separately functioning vocal chords. And while Evelia, his unquenchable crush, becomes the alien's unexpected apprentice, Blaze hearkens to the earth's call to lead mankind's last few survivors to the destiny she envisions for them: a technologically advanced civilization governed by magic.

Haven Orphans Widows and Strangers is the beginning of the exciting tale of Haven. A safe place for the worlds unwanted. Kept safe by the Mage Michael and his strangely powerful combination of mental abilities and magic. New allies and new enemies emerge to challenge Michael’s world. While an enemy long thought dead reaches out to threaten Haven once again. Michael is not the only one with problems. Brothers Cameron and Garrett have challenges and worries of their own that unknowingly effect more than just themselves, as their seemingly simple lives become entangled with Michael’s. The Drow Pirates, the Anii ‘Yaseem, the Yaguarete, and even the Seven Sects of Collectors all play a part in filling this epic fantasy with excitement, plot twists and action.
