A fugitive storyteller running out of time. A prince hiding from his mother. A kingdom on the brink of collapse. A search for a world of magic. Convinced his tales are true, storyteller Jinji is determined to find the legendary fae realm of Shinac to save his world from a dread lord trying to cross over--before a fatal illness ends Jinji's life. Prince Jetekesh is caught between a controlling mother and his affection for his dying father--until he's kidnapped and forced to journey with a delusional storyteller and a motley band of fugitives in search of a myth. Hunted by the queen, hindered by a malady, and invaded by an enemy empire, Jinji and Jetekesh race across a crumbling kingdom to find the alleged gate between worlds. But even if Shinac exists, how can a humble storyteller and deposed prince hope to stand against a devastating evil?

The Shattered Arch

Blood called to the stars.
Darkness will answer.

After facing the Wildwood's wrath, Lekore must set his sights on protecting his people from a threat descending from the depths of space. The key to safeguarding the cities of Erokel lies in an ancient shield system—if it can be repaired in time.

And the faraway threat isn't Lekore’s only trouble. Closer dangers draw near to claim him and his abilities for their own. Somehow, he must wrestle with his newfound right to the throne, while he fends off a Tawloomez invasion, a slave revolt, and the worshippers of the Night—with only four days until first contact.

Meanwhile, the evil beyond his world has other plans...

The Complete Duology

Wintervale

Read the exciting second installment of this humorous, thrilling, coming-of-age fantasy! Stripped of his memories, Key tries to adjust to life in the dreary castle he now calls home. While he's fond of his host, nightmares plague his sleep and he feels uneasy around the castle's Seer. Left alone one evening, Key explores his vast home and stumbles upon a stranger locked in a wine cellar, who claims they were friends. Though reluctant to learn more, Key soon decides he must remember his past, even if it hurts to discover all that he lost. But can he cope with the colossal truth: He's not the foretold savior of Paradise. He's a lie and a cover-up. Knowing this, can Key step up to defy the world's end or should he turn his power over to the rightful heir of Vendaeva's power?

Key of Paradise

Magic is against the law. He must use it anyway. The Crow King has outlawed magic. Despite the kingdom's edict, Gwyn plunges into the ancient and deadly True Wood to find a magical cure for his dying brother. Within the shadowed realm, he must fend off more than violent and fallen fae-like Ilidreth when he learns the king is out to stop him at whatever cost. On his desperate quest, he is joined by a unicorn, a quirky girl, and the maddest of the fallen fae. Together they must outrun enchanted crows and enemy armies, and face the ghosts of a shattered age, all while racing to save Gwyn’s brother. Meanwhile, war brews between countries, and a secret order of mages hunts Gwyn down. Yet none of this can prepare Gwyn for the harrowing truth behind the fall of the Ilidreth long, long ago, and what it means for his life and his homeland.

The Crow King

Magic is waking. War has begun. Down with the king. Fifteen months ago, Gwyn discovered he’s the rightful king of Simaerin, last of the ancient line of Wintervale. Now he leads an army against the tyrannical Crow King. But first, Gwyn and his ragged army of tradesmen, peasants, and escaped slaves must brave the cruel winter months without proper supplies or shelter while trying to rescue the residents of a port city sentenced to death and avoid the menacing mercenary forces of Hesh-Kasal. On top of that, Gwyn has to balance politics among his generals, defend against a dragon assault, and seize a keep filled with vile magic and a terrible history. Confronted with true loyalty and bitter betrayal in turns, Gwyn wrestles against his own doubts to find the line between trust and wisdom. As the death toll rises, and Gwyn struggles with the horrors and sacrifices of war, he comes to understand why the Crow King has fallen, and now Gwyn must face the same path and the same choice.
