The Crown of Ash
Kaelen never imagined that a single artifact could change the fate of the world. When he discovers the Ember Crown, a powerful relic of fire and temptation, he is thrust into a battle not just for survival, but for his very soul. The crown grants unimaginable power-but every burst of flame comes with a cost. Its whispers tempt him toward domination, its energy tests his restraint, and its hunger threatens to consume everything he holds dear. Joined by a band of warriors, mages, and scouts-including the fierce Lira, the wise Fenric, the radiant healer Mira, and the cunning twins, Ryn and Elara-Kaelen must face Smoke, a shadowy enemy determined to seize the crown for his own dark ambitions, and the Black Hunter, a relentless predator stalking the battlefield. From the scorched plains to the heart of enemy fortresses, Kaelen's journey is one of fire, strategy, and moral choices. Every battle, every short breath, every flicker of flame tests his mastery, courage, and resolve. Will he succumb to the crown's seductive power-or rise above it to protect those he loves? In a world where fire can destroy or illuminate, the choice is his. The crown is his. And the ashes will tell his story. My first book (The Shadows Follow Me) will continue, as I have just been working on a Fantasy book.Complete

The Age of Embers.
The Age of Embers. In the shadowed dawn of the world, before mortal tongues sang of sorrow or glory, dragons ruled the skies as stewards of balance, born of flame and memory. Among them, Ignis, the Eternal Flame, bore the wisdom of ages, upholding harmony between sacred fire and the ever-changing world. But where fire glows, shadow rises, and mankind emerged from dust with the will to choose, forging a fragile place in a world not made for them. What began in awe twisted into envy. Reverence soured into fear. And from fear, betrayal was born. Thus fell the dragons, hunted and broken beneath steel and pride. The noble Solis deceived. The wrathful Caelum struck down. And at last, only Ignis remained-her fate entwined with a queen, whose choices would echo into legend. Told in eight short, sweeping books, The Age of Embers is a tale of war and wisdom, of legacy and loss. It is the passing of an age... and the uncertain birth of another. Yet even as the fire dims, one ember endures. A dragon hatchling, Vaelith, born into silence and guided by a lone sage, awakens in the deep places of the world. And with him, a question rekindles: Can fire, once broken by fear, rise in understanding?Complete
