The Ghost Princess - Graylands vol. I (EXCERPT)
Graylands is where people go when they don't want to be found. A neutral, mostly frontier country between two opposing empires, it is a haven for drifters, pilgrims, outlaws, and everything in between hoping to build a new life, find adventure, or just disappear. Katrina Lamont is one such individual. Once upon a time, she was the Chosen One--a warrior charged with a great and heroic destiny. But when she finished her journey, there was no happy ending waiting for her. Now she lives as an embittered, alcoholic drifter, haunted by the ghosts of her past. But when an evil sorcerer, Jacob Daredin, seeks to fulfill an ancient prophecy that may grant him god-like power, Katrina will have to take up the sword once again as she finds herself caught in a race to find the young woman whose sacrifice is the key to Daredin's mad dream. Along the way, she will contend with Krutch Leeroy--an infamous outlaw who is not all he seems--and cross paths with Lily Blackthorn--a perky, but mysterious woman with a dark secret of her own. As Daredin's forces close in, they will traverse a haunted landscape of pirates, demons, killers, con-men, an immortal juggernaut, and worse in an adventure where the line between destiny and plain bad luck is razor thin.

The Song of Vallis
"All that is made must be unmade, And all that rises shall be felled." Before the rise of mankind, before memory itself, there was Ahm-the body of all that is-and The One, its spirit. From their eternal dance was born the world of Vê, a living realm of mountains, oceans, flame, and storm. Upon this world rose the dragons-the Nezulim-ancient beings of mind and fire, who ruled for ten thousand ages before envy and pride brought their fall. When the heavens split and the Bolide descended, it carried a new race: men, refugees from a dying world called Meä. Guided by prophets and enslaved by reptilian lords, humanity built its kingdoms upon the bones of dragons and the ashes of paradise. From this bondage rises Mosul, the Son of Antoc, a king who dares to defy the gods. His rebellion will ignite the last great war of Vallis-a war of dragons, men, and immortal prophets whose destinies are bound to the cycles of creation and ruin. Told as a translation of the lost scripture of the Neandilim, The Song of Vallis is a mythic epic that spans worlds and ages-a fusion of cosmic theology, heroic tragedy, and apocalyptic prophecy. Fans of The Silmarillion, Paradise Lost, and Dune will find themselves immersed in a vast mythology of fallen gods, eternal recurrence, and the unending pursuit of divine knowledge.Complete
