A LEGACY OF LIGHT (THE DRAGON WAR, BOOK ONE) -- a new fantasy trilogy for fans of A Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings
The people of Requiem, an ancient kingdom, can grow wings and scales, breathe fire, and take flight as dragons. For years, Requiem's holy stars have blessed the kingdom with light and magic. But now a darkness falls.
General Cadigus, traitor to the crown, has captured the throne. Bloodthirsty and cruel, he rules with an iron fist. He crushes his own people under his heel. He burns all foreign lands. The noble kingdom of Requiem fades; a dark empire rises.
In the wilderness, a small light kindles. Rebellion brews. The rebels are haggard, outnumbered, and desperate. They hide in forests and ruins. They fight for the memory of Old Requiem, for a legacy of light.
The Resistance is small, but its cry is loud: "The tyrant must fall."

Requiem [COMPLETED]
A fictional memoir of a brother and sister's intertwined fate and inner landscapes, Requiem explores dysfunctional relationships and their individual struggles to find what they can, and can't, live without. After the sudden death of their mother, siblings Sven and Sigrid face numerous upheavals. Sigrid recalls her perception of their losses--detailing the relative isolation in which they were raised--an atmosphere which precipitates a crisis that threatens the siblings' mutual survival. Only afterwards does she begin to piece together a clearer picture of their childhood, revealing both the extent of cycling violence and the secrets her older brother tried to hide from her. Random Excerpt: "Beyond excited to announce that I'm giving up! No dating for this guy, not anymore. I'm so grateful for this opportunity to restrict myself exclusively to one-night stands and can't wait to see where this decision takes me. Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I will start as I mean to go on: I plan on being as useless as the G in lasagna." He'd disappeared into his room, coming back with a large bottle of scotch. "Dear liver, it's going to be a rough ride till the end of the year. Stay strong my precious champion, stay strong," he mumbled, rubbing his beer belly. "Adulthood in general is bullshit." "Life is bullshit," I corrected him. "Aww, our dark little bundle of thunderstorm," Seamus fake-cooed. "Why did adults lie to us all those years about how great it is, making it sound like there's an obvious path, a life plan that's a matter of course."Complete
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

Shadows & Chains
book 1 of The Ashes of Edrathis Trilogy Blair Nightwyck remembers nothing of her life before the war-only screams, fire, and her uncle's rough hands dragging her from the ashes. The story he told her was simple: her parents were slaughtered by a dragon during the Great War between Shifters and mankind. That the monsters deserved their extinction. That her survival was a curse she would spend the rest of her life repaying. For years she's been his weapon, his trapper-chasing and capturing what others fear, selling the rare and the dangerous for his profit while she dreams of freedom she'll never taste. Until the crown makes her an offer. A job dangerous enough to kill her. Lucrative enough to buy her freedom. All she has to do is work for the king-hunt creatures the realm believes extinct-and in return, she'll finally earn her way out of her uncle's chains. But when she meets Lieutenant Malachi Ryerson, the man assigned to train and accompany her, her carefully built world begins to unravel. He's powerful, commanding, impossibly magnetic-and hiding something that makes the air around him hum with danger. Something ancient. Something that should not exist. The deeper she's drawn into his shadow, the more she begins to question everything she's ever known about monsters, about the war... and about herself. Because in Edrathis, truth is as deadly as magic-and the monster she's been hunting may not be the one wearing claws.
THE DIVINE REQUIEM SAGA : LORE
Before kings and empires, before mankind walked beneath the stars, there was a song-divine, broken, and eternal. From the first breath of Consciousness to the fall of gods and the rise of mortals, The Divine Requiem Saga weaves a mythic chronicle of a world forever caught in a cycle of creation and collapse. Across eons, civilizations rise from sacred flame and fall to ash. Ancient powers stir in forgotten realms. And as the Age of Conquest dawns, the echoes of a primordial war whisper once more. This is not a tale of heroes. This is the memory of a world-sung through time, bound by fate, and written in requiem.

Dragons have caught the scent of human activity, and every passing day brings wings closer towards Starlight. Hunting parties vanish. Fear grows. Paranoia has taken hold. As the nervous Whisper wakes from his slumber, he can't help but wonder... will today be the day their world is burnt to the ground?
