In the sprawling forests of the Dawnwood, the life of Valmyr's people has changed. Endless winters and brutal blizzards force them into deep burrows while, outside, the old kin haunt the long nights. His only chance of saving his young sister is to flee into the unknown east... Meanwhile, at the foot of the northern mountains, a mysterious prophet is building the first city of Men. Beneath the walls of An Cylas, Aevi must try to forget her past and become a leader, but just as a new warlord rises in the south, she discovers that their prophet is not who he seems to be. Shadow of Dawn is the first book of the Godmakers Saga, a continuing series set in the same world and featuring some of the same faces. Each book, however, can be read as a stand-alone and in any order.

One soul. Two lives. One destiny. ***** Torn apart by the gods, twin sisters, Sheala and Cassandra, are each anointed by the Fates to end the war raging upon Geiha. The sisters, one of the light and one of the dark, find themselves on the opposite sides of the conflict between the remnants of the ancient Kingdom of Hitithe and the evil empire of a vampiric Blood Lord. Their separate paths set them on a course where facing their destiny means ultimately facing each other. While one runs from this inevitability, the other has embraced it. And the fate of the world will depend upon which one shall ultimately claim it. Cover designed by Ray Gardener

Children of the God of War, the Seren of the Mountain believe in two things: might is power, and magic is sin. Yet in their hubris, the Clan has forgotten their most important role - to protect the most powerful weapons in all the realms from being unleashed upon the Mortal Realms once more. * * * Born with the Goddess's Blessing on her skin, the elders thought Eliah would be the second coming of Taiten, the greatest warrior the Clan has ever seen. What they got was a walking blasphemy. Eliah Taitenschild is short, skinny, and useless in a fight - and she's a magic-wielding heretic to boot. All she wants to do is pass her shieldmaiden training without having her magic exposed. Or better yet, complete the Rite and kill a demonic, shape-shifting Fal'mor to prove herself worthy of wielding one of the weapons that the legendary Taiten left behind. But a silent war between magic and might has been brewing on the mountain for decades. When new life is bled into the near-extinct army of Fal'mor in the name of proving strength, the Clan soon discovers that the weapons they were meant to guard were never the kind that could be wielded. Fortunately, for every weapon, there's a countermeasure. The magic that the Clan so detests may turn out to be the most powerful sword and shield of all. ============== 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: This story was formerly published as 'Crossroads' (Apr 2014).

Inspired by Machiavel's 'The Prince', this short fantasy novel follows prince Santhor Aysr as his father sends him to the barren province of Gales as a punishment for his behavior. There, he is to learn to rule and assume his bloodline in order to take the throne when his time comes. In this mangled world, the Prince will soon learn that not everything is as it seems as his father's hidden agenda comes to light. Darker forces appear, threatening the balance of his realm. In Gales, Santhor will have to become the man he was meant to be, guided by enlightened spirits and his father's vision. Kings and princes, pyrocrats and revolutionary minds, come together in a strangely familiar world. The boy must become a man. The man must become a Prince.
