Damien of Bohemia was a legend content to live in obscurity. Weary from a century of human and Irin bloodshed, he took shelter among those who would not question his silence or the martial spells he wore over his body. Spells far too numerous for a scribe of his age.

Until an earth singer of raw power and no delicacy came to the village where he hid. Sari of Vestfold wasn't intrigued by the mysterious warrior or his moody silences. And she wasn't interested in listening for the whisper of his soul. Even when those whispers promised a connection that could tie them for eternity.

DREAMS is the first full novella of the four part book, The Staff and the Blade, but is a story that can be read on it's own. (No cliffhanger!) I'll be posting one chapter every Thursday. The full book is available for pre-order now and releases on July 12, 2016. 

The first three books of the Irin Chronicles, The SCRIBE, The SINGER, and The SECRET are all available from major retailers. For more information, please visit my website.

DISCLAIMER: Posted chapters are unedited advance copy. (There will be typos!) It is not for resale and changes may be made between now and publication.
