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.

The search for the Keepers of Truth and Might have set into motion events that herald the return of Hemran'na. His harbinger, The Unspoken One, has awoken and shown himself to the Faithful of Cherisium. Elsewhere, secret societies band together and powerful wielders of necromancy conspire, all while ancient texts detailing the whereabouts of the Crimson Eye resurface. Haunted by the written words of Dusel Nadim, Cornar Dol'shir leads the survivors of his adventuring band from Dalgilur. What he thought was a final venture now seems a greater quest that could decide the fate of Kalda. After fleeing Mindolarn, Iltar the Son of Adrin laments the tragedy which befell him and his acolytes at the empire's palace. Marked for death by the Mindolarnians, Iltar must find a way to keep himself and his pupils safe. But no place, not his homeland nor an island long forgotten, is beyond the empire's reach-not even the Translucent Fields of Vabenack. Meanwhile, a sinister plot brews within the Principality of Sororth; aristocrats have been assassinated or abducted. Many blame the Baron of Sereth, whose ambition knows no bounds. Among those who have vanished is the husband of Countess Elsia Scurn. Determined to discover the truth, she will not rest until the count is found and civil unrest is abated.

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

Night marches on the Everburning City. The life-killing mist enshrouding the world, the Gloam, clings to the walls. Golems, towering monsters of stone, shake the earth as they march. And the dead rise again, puppeteered by some distant, titanic power. For Corporal Valen Redgrave, on the watch at the outermost walls of the City, the night marks the end of the military life he has known. The idyllic simpering of the watch has ended, and Valen finds himself the pillar upon which his companions' courage rests. For Gwendolyn Aranhall, stewarding a work rehabilitation camp for youth guilty of petty crimes, the night heralds the dismantling of everything she has known. As the Gloam claims the world around her, and she becomes the last thing standing between children and monsters, she finds in herself a heart unbroken by her fear. And that resilience will see darker responsibilities laid upon her. For Crafter Olivia Polden, the fire she commands and the red coat she wears represents the single greatest power in the City. Weirder of a power that could doom the City as surely as the foes marching upon it, she will stand first among those sent to halt the invasion. And only then, begin to learn how to live with despair. There is no night in the Everburning City. There can never be. (Cover courtesy of Mahana258)
