For some, dreams really do come true.

For Calum, dreams are his only hope.

Calum longs for something more than the life of slavery he has lived since the death of his parents. But his dreams, filled with light, echo with the voice of a mysterious entity calling upon him for release.

When a Saurian—a huge lizard person—named Magnus is brought to the quarry as a new slave, young Calum is faced with a choice: live out his days as a slave, or shed his shackles and embark on a new life of adventure.

Joined by his best friend Axel, Magnus, a Windgale girl trying to get back home, and a sarcastic wolf, Calum travels in search of a way to free the mysterious entity speaking to him in his dreams.

Madness burrows deep into the fabric of Hope, and Birdie Caldwell must rally herself to defeat a dangerous foe.

To add insult to injury, he finds himself inconveniently falling for the officer who brought him in–and who has an extremely rare power of his own.

The two kinds of magic have always been separate. Until now.
Vatar risked his life to try to save his friend–and failed. Now he has an implacable enemy in the shaman, who blames Vatar for the death of his only son. He’s forced to flee his home, at least until the shaman’s thirst for revenge cools.
Taking shelter with his mother’s people in one of the coastal cities, Vatar learns more than he bargained for. He agreed to learn to work iron and steel, but he never suspected to find a magical heritage as well.
And that’s a problem. Because unlike their own Spirit magic, his people regard the city magic as the work of Evil Spirits. If the shaman ever found out about this, it could be the weapon he needs to destroy Vatar.
And yet, finding a way to accept the other side of his heritage may be the only way Vatar can ultimately defeat his enemy and win more than his freedom.
