Artasia’s Fall
The kingdom will fall–just as it was prophesied.
Prophecy foretold of armies to come who would bring Artasia’s downfall unless they turned from their wicked ways. Greed, violence, and pride twists the kingdom, and to it all King Exian adds another sin–he seeks the prophet Youri’s life.
With everything on the line, Prince Keegan sets out on one last desperate attempt to save the prophet’s life and keep the kingdom from plunging into a war that will only end in the slaughter of their people. But when betrayal strikes, will Keegan be able to save Youri and the kingdom, or will he meet his own demise?
Artasia’s Fall is a free short story available only to newsletter subscribers.
Prophecy Awakens
An ancient prophecy. A deadly hope.
Being gifted is dangerous. Gifted ones are either outcasts, slaves, or murdered. But they may be the kingdom’s only hope.
Gifted and outcast, Ava Girnam lives in seclusion and secrecy. But when a new gift emerges and bounty hunters stalk her family, the fragile veil of safety begins to fall.
An ancient prophecy has come to her door. To take her place will put everyone she loves in danger, but rejecting it will cost countless lives. And her very soul.
When everything is on the line, which will be chosen? To follow? Or to flee?
A Battle of Shadows
Ancient prophecy spoke of seven warriors.
Five are gathered; two are sought.
An assassin hunts them all.
The warriors must find the two remaining members of their group, but trouble finds them first. The bounty hunters have returned. They will hunt Ava until the job is finished, regardless of how many they must kill in the process. But they aren’t the only ones out for blood. A mysterious assassin is on their trail, and he means to win. Will the warriors reach their destination before death takes its toll?
The idea of the warriors is too much for Flynn. An ancient prophecy from a god he doesn’t believe in? No. He’ll make his own destiny. All he wants is to go home, but fate is not so easily swayed. When an accident leaves him trapped, Flynn is forced to face a battle within his very soul. Will he find the faith needed to fulfill his destiny, or will he run to his own destruction?

A journey with no turning back.
The warriors continue their trek to fulfill prophecy, but their path leads through the heart of the Range of Loss, the deadliest area in all of Artasia. Danger lies at every turn as troubles rise within the group. As secrets strain the fragile thread of peace, will they survive the journey, or tear apart at the seams?
