The Sunborn
Return Again
Riah always thought her father was normal. The kind of single dad who worked hard, and went hiking, and did his best to bring her up on his own. Sure, he had some serious opinions on knives, and cared a little too much about good camping gear, but who didn’t?
So when an elf, a real, live, pointy-ears-and-bow elf appears in their living room with a call to arms, Riah has some questions that suddenly seem a whole lot more urgent. As it turns out, her father has been keeping some secrets. Mostly about how he used to be the hero of a different world, complete with a magical sword, and a destiny he can’t escape.
When disaster strikes, Riah discovers that maybe her father isn’t the only hero in their family. After all, what good is magic if you can’t use it to pick a fight with an evil sorcerer?
Leap Back
A year has passed since Riah dove between worlds, defeated an evil sorcerer, and fell in love with an assassin. With Zan and the Warriors of the Sun at her side, life is slowly settling down after the ravages of Kratch’s evil forces.
So when a ghoul appears in the wrong world, it’s clear that something is wrong. A new enemy is rising, and this one can cross between worlds.
Together with Zan, and her best friend Tracy, Riah arms up and heads out, ready to defend her world once more. But this time will be different. This time, the enemy knows what Riah is capable of, and they’re ready for a fight.
Jump Forward
After four years, an evil sorcerer, and a rogue portal, there isn’t much that scares Riah anymore. Her life with Zan, Tracy, and Melody is settled. They serve their king, keep an eye out for threats, and live their lives.
A call from Riah’s mother turns everything upside down. Someone has found another way between the worlds and they’re looking for the research from the portal. Unwilling to risk that knowledge to anyone else, Riah and her team pack up and answer the call once more.
This time, however, is different. A shadow from Zan’s past has reemerged, and with him, an evil unlike anything Riah ever imagined. She has faced many dangers in the years since she discovered magic, but demons are in a class of their own.
Slide Between
Riah thought that the business with the demons was the last of it. That her adventures with her team were finished. That was, until someone began shoving ghouls through portals directly on top of her and her team.
This time the enemy is one that should be familiar. A rival kingdom with a fondness for unconventional battle tactics. It isn’t until they discover ruins far older than anything the humans could have built that Riah realizes the truth.
The ancient war never ended, and they have an enemy who has been waiting in the shadows for his chance to strike again.
Dive Down
The onslaught was unexpected. A bolt of light out of a dark sky. There was no time to think. No time to do anything but react.
After surviving a devastating attack, Riah and her team are stranded in a distant land and surrounded by enemies. With no one to rely on, and no way home, they must make their way through the world with nothing more than each other, and what they have in their pockets.
But their enemies are not the kind to let them rest for long, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
Now, Riah must find a way to get her team home across a land that seems to want nothing but their deaths.
Step Ahead
When old enemies come asking for help, the time has come to set aside old grudges. The kingdom of Seahaven is in danger again. Strange earthquakes rock the city. The people cower from monsters that stalk the streets. An ancient weapon is waking, and it may just be enough to bring Queen Etaris to her knees.
Riah and her team must battle their way into the dark Undercity, and hope that they can find the source of the terrible power before it tears Stormcaller Port to pieces. After all, what sort of adventure would it be if they didn’t have enemies on all sides, and a terrible secret yet to be discovered?
Fall Away
The war between humans and faeries rages on. Between ancient weapons and mysteries that seem to rise up from every ruin, Riah and her team go seeking the workshops of her grandfather in the hopes of new knowledge that might turn the tide.
On the way, they meet someone from Melody’s past who brings with her the chance to strike a blow to their enemies.
One of the great Faerie strongholds is vulnerable, and there will never be a better time to bring it down from within.
The Wings of Oberon
Kingsguard
The greatest warriors among the goblins are the Shadow King’s Kingsguard. Each one is capable of incredible feats with their chosen weapons. They have to be. The Shadow Wold is a dangerous place, and their king is always under threat.
With the factions battling to claim the throne, demons on the eastern border, and faeries on the western, the Shadow Wold has never been more deadly. Now, with the Shadow Prince flying out to see the Wold, tensions are high, and dangers are everywhere.
Resin will have to learn fast, and hope that his future Kingsguard is up to the challenge. It will take all their skill to keep a traitor from sparking a war that will consume their forest home.
Goblin Armor
The army of the Shadow Wold is at the border of the Faerie Realm, ready for war. Goblins move through the trees, armed with iron and ready to unleash their fury upon their unprepared enemies.
Princess Snowbell is afraid. The rulers of the Wold have never been known for their mercy. This new Shadow King is young and willing to fight a brutal, bloody war to the very last. With a murderer running rampant, and war threatening all that she holds dear, it will take all of Snow’s courage to withstand the coming storm.
Faerie Silver
Although the war between the Shadow Wold and the Faerie Realm is over, there is no peace to be had within the Wold.
Now that the immediate threat of the war is settled, Resin must face the truth. The Shadow Kings who led the Wold before him have turned their eyes from the Wold’s real problems for too long. The Factions are angry, and with good reason. Their needs have gone unanswered for generations and they are no longer willing to accept a ruler.
Together, Resin and Snow will have to restore the trust their ancestors destroyed, and face down an enemy that wants nothing more than to destroy them both.
