In order to survive, some choose to join high-tech communities. Those who didn’t were left to fend for themselves on a hideous and decimated planet.

Delve into a world where dragons and mortals bind…
The realm of Drinnglennin is poised on the cusp of chaos, for their High King is dying and has yet to name an heir. Rumors abound that the Helgrins, Drinnglennin’s bitterest foes, are preparing their longboats to raid their shores, while the å Livåri folk, for whom the island kingdom is the last sanctuary, are mysteriously disappearing. And in distant Belestar, the fabled dragons are stirring from their self-imposed exile.
Drinnglennin’s hopes lie with the wizard Morgan, who must safeguard the king’s possible heirs, all of whom are coming of age. Yet a dangerously powerful house seeks the succession for one of their own, even if it means disrupting the fragile peace of the realm.
One thing is certain: whoever next sits on the Einhorn Throne will determine the fate not only of Drinnglennin, but of all who dwell in the Known World.

Twenty years after the pandemic that nearly wiped out humanity, seventeen-year-old trainwreck Bird Howsley is struggling to find her place.

In a world mostly underwater—beset not just by pandemics but by climate change too—sailing isn’t just a pastime: it’s the way of life. Unfortunately, Bird is a terrible sailor, with a drinking habit to boot.

But when a message from her long-lost brother sets Bird on a quest for answers about herself, she puts herself and her best friend Sargo in the crosshairs of a deadly underground organization.

Forced to flee, they sail into the Salt, where they battle treacherous seas, make shady deals with pirates, and discover that the organization they’re running from goes deeper than either of them suspected.

After bartering passage back to Alluvium, a step too far with Savage and a run-in with her brother Shale have Bird again fleeing for her life and wondering who she can trust.

When she learns that Sargo may have been taken to Grike, eight thousand miles west across the Salt, Bird decides to undertake a dangerous solo journey to get him back.

In the process, she uncovers a deadly secret that upends everything she thought she knew about Zenith, the Anonymity, and her place in the world.

Kyra Greene is a fae pest-controller with a soft heart can and an apartment full of rescues including a basilisk who thinks he’s a turkey, a banshee nanny, and a pygmy kraken. She might take care of them, but they fill her need for family. And when that family is threatened, she’ll risk everything to save them.

When she finds an abandoned baby dragon, she doesn’t want to bring him home, but until she hunts down the brute trying to kill all the dragons and start a civil war among the fae, she’s on babysitting duty.

Dragons Don’t Eat Meat
Dervishes Don’t Dance
