Young Pip must embrace his magical powers to rescue his family from slavery-or help the king save the realm-a decision that will tear his world apart.

Desperate to keep his family together when the slavers arrive, Pip hides his power so he can be sold with them. But when his father and brother are sold to different mages and the slavers attempt to separate his mother and sister, Pip loses control and injures a slaver with magic. The uproar catches the attention of the southern king’s druid advisor, Merlin, who quickly offers a place to Pip, his sister, and his mother. On the road to King Arthur’s court, bandits attack their camp, and his family is further torn apart. Pip has no choice but to work with Merlin-who may not be the evil mage Pip assumes him to be-to learn to harness his powers so he can help King Arthur stop Mordred.

Young Pip must embrace his power to become a battle mage so he can defend the Magic Realm against the fierce Northmen invading from the sea and from the dark forces attacking his kingdom.

While recovering from Mordred’s reign of terror and the departure of King Arthur, Pip foresees a new enemy breaching the shores of Britain: a fleet of Northmen led by the ruthless Halfdan Ragnarsson. Pip and Merlin fear Ragnarsson will fill Mordred’s void and bring demonic darkness and chaos to their realm. It falls to Pip, together with old friends and new magicked allies, to stop Ragnarsson, protect the magical barrier that separates the Magic Realm from the Realm of Faerie, and unite the mages of light to protect all who were scattered by the breaking of the worlds.

When Aldan discovers the power to burn someone’s blood, he is taken from his family, branded, and sold into slavery as an arena fighter. A painful life and an early death are all he can expect, until he listens to a supernatural voice coming from his own blood. Taking her advice, he uses his power to become the greatest arena fighter of the age, fighting year after year with one goal in mind. If he can purchase his own freedom, maybe a normal life with the woman he loves is possible.

And now, he needs to win only one more fight… against a rebel leader who people are calling “the chosen one.”

From the grueling training grounds where boys learn to kill, to the luxuries of the sinister Hawk King’s palace, Aldan’s whole life has led inexorably to this one day. This one fight.

The world has stopped turning.

Burned by a blazing sun. Thrust into eternal winter.

Life survives only in the Sunset Forest.

For untold millennia, mankind lived subservient to the dryads, forced into worship of the Earth-Mother, Astea. Then one man ventured into the Scorched Desert and returned with the secret of fire. His rebellion brought the dryad empire to ash. In its place, he founded the Kingdom of Heartsong.

Twelve years later, the new king is missing. The earth trembles. Famine ravages the land, and a mysterious illness creeps through the capital.

Plots of treason and revenge abound, but as the mistakes of the past bear fruit, men will reap what they have sown.
