What if everything we imagine, every world we can dream up — is REAL — given infinite space and time? In THE STARGAZERS’ DAUGHTERS, Lilliea Graton discovers just that.
It’s hard enough being the stargazer’s daughter, harder still when everyone in town thinks you’re an insufferable know-it-all. And having a sister like Rose—a precocious eight-year-old with an overactive imagination and a frog for a pet—is no picnic either. But when a comet blazes across the noonday sky, throwing the superstitious townsfolk into a panic, the girls’ father, Merowin Mathonway, assures the hysterical mob the world isn’t about to end. And yet, for Lilliea and Rose, it does just that. For on that fateful night, Mathonway is whisked through a magic doorway, never to return, and Lilliea and Rose are swept into a cosmic, mind-bending adventure full of danger, magic, and mystery. They are joined by Kalima, a no-nonsense dwarf; Sekhmet, a thief of royal blood; and Ecthros, a would-be hero and archer with terrible aim.
To save their father, Lilliea must overcome her personal demons while questioning everything she knows about the man who raised her and the nature of the universe itself.
When famine sweeps across the lands of Ilmarinen, a young Thelana watches her eldest brother being sold to slavers for bags of grain — it is a moment that will haunt her entire life.
As her family continues to starve, Thelana travels far from her homeland to fend for herself. Lost and alone in the depths of the Wildwood jungle, she struggles to survive amidst ravenous dinosaurs, cannibalistic halfmen, hunger, cold, and the scorching sun, all while pining for her brother and the family she may never see again.
THE FERAL GIRL is a tale of survival, hope, and the perseverance of the human heart.
When THE PRINCESS OF AENYA was a little girl, she fell deathly ill. Desperate to save his beloved daughter, King Solon of Tyrnael called upon healers from far and wide. Thus, a man named Anabis arrived at the gates of the Compass Tower, offering to cure the princess, so long as the king adopt his teenage son, Zaibos. Solon readily agreed, and Radia soon became well again. But as Solon's adopted son grew into adulthood, so did his cruelty, and upon the king's death, Zaibos and his men slaughtered the princess's guards and usurped the throne.
Radia flees from the kingdom with the aid of her lone protector, Demacharon, an aging warrior from a distant land. Together, they journey beyond the Crown of Aenya Mountains to the idyllic land of Yefira. Separated from the cure given to her by Anabis, Radia soon discovers that she is far more than what she seems---that she was born with an empathic connection to nature and all living things---and to alleviate her own suffering, she must reclaim her kingdom and save her people from her stepbrother's tyranny. All the while, Demacharon seeks redemption by her side, tormented by visions of the afterlife and the ghosts of those he has wronged.
The foundational myth of the Aenya saga, AGES of AENYA follows Xandr and Thelana, the last of the Ilmar, wandering outcasts struggling to survive a world that has rejected them and their kind.
Their adventure begins in Hedonia, "The City by the Sea," where bloodthirsty merquid stalk the shores of Sarnath in search of vengeance. The High Priest Urukjinn summons Xandr to the city, convinced by a prophetic history book from the future that only a man of Ilmarin descent can save the empire from doom. But Xandr's allegiances are torn when he meets Thelana, a thief imprisoned by the zealous high priest, left to starve in the dungeons for desecrating the idol of the sea god, Sargonus.
In "The Serpent's Eye," Xandr and Thelana cross the inhospitable Dead Zones, where Xandr is poisoned by a mysterious merchant. As Thelana struggles under the scorching sun to keep him alive, his soul is transported to the time of the Septhera, where, millennia ago, snake men once enslaved the human race.
In "Flesh and Steel," the Ilmar rescue a young girl, Emma, from an abusive household. There, in the frigid mountains of Northendell, they encounter a giant of flesh and steel, a golem fallen from the stars, and, with Emma's help, they race to discover the secrets enshrined by the Ilmar to prevent a second world-shaping cataclysm.
