Freedom is never free, but does its price ever become too high? This is the question a banished, reluctant heir must face when he returns to find his homeland slipping into the jaws of the dark elements that have infected it. The wisdom of the universe and gift of immortality lie embedded within the long-forgotten Creation Stone that is now in the grasp of a powerful sorcerer bent on releasing its secrets, and it is this young lord, Aidan, who is tasked with returning it to its rightful place. Time is anything but an ally as his desperate search for the Stone and its key lead him on a confusing path paved with murder and betrayal. Along this journey, while his people unwittingly strengthen the yoke of their own master, Aidan must prove that loyalty and courage are more than just words.

This is a synopsis of my first novel "...in darkness shalt thou conquer..." - the centerpiece of Project Stonefeather. I'll be posting new pages here each week, most likely on Sunday afternoons. All comments - good, bad, or ugly - are welcome.

Literally, her hair is gold. When Aria's father tries to marry her off to an elderly man, she takes her deceased mother's necklace and runs away with her servant, Tina. They stumble upon Torenth, a city hidden behind a waterfall, and the Guardians welcome her into their castle like family. Lord Deric tries to win her heart, but Aria's eyes are on Owen, the shy blacksmith. When Aria finds out she is the next Guardian of Torenth according to a prophecy, she must figure out a way to keep her father out of Torenth.

I should have known better. *** Elsie's world is ruled by vampires. Every year women across the country are offered in tribute.

In a world ruled by powerful magical families, where strength and status are determined by the mastery of magic and the ferocity of one's aura, King Ignis stands out-though not for reasons he would choose. Born into the illustrious Ignis family, famed for their fiery magic and physical prowess, King was expected to carry the family's legacy forward. But unlike his siblings, King was born without the ability to wield magic, a failure in the eyes of his father, Lord Ignis. But what King lacks in magical ability, he makes up for in swordsmanship, and with the awakening of a dark, forbidden power within him- the Demon Aura-King's journey takes a darker turn. This power, feared and misunderstood, enhances his physical abilities and grants him new, deadly techniques. Yet it comes with a price: a growing hunger for destruction and an insidious whispering in his mind, urging him towards violence. (I'm new to this so give me time)
