Novels set in Thellian
Most of my epic fantasy is set in the world of Thellian. There are three eras in Thellian, with Key to Truth set at the end of the first era, and Immortal Hearts set at the end of the third era. I have future series and standalones planned in the second and third eras.
Please note: all titles and blurbs are “working” versions.
Immortal Hearts Series
Book 1: Echoes of Chaos
Preparing for querying.
In the peaceful land of the kitari, Eryn plots her revenge. Ever since the council of elders banished her father, they’ve seemed determined to take everything that could bring her joy. Her magic. Her title. Their archaic ritual even costs her the woman she loves, turning her into a beast Eryn has to kill to save a child. Only ousting the elders could possibly smother the anger that burns in Eryn’s heart.
So when Eryn stumbles upon a dragon imprisoned deep below the elders’ forbidden archive, she sees the perfect opportunity to rid herself of them. The dragon promises to tear down their reign, if Eryn can free her. But more than the elders’ chains bind the immortal. Most of the dragon’s soul is trapped elsewhere, and to release her, Eryn must solve the cryptic clues left for her by a goddess.
But Eryn’s not the only person trying to release an immortal. Another strains against his shackles, hungry for revenge, and nothing less than destroying the world will sate him. If Eryn can’t free the dragon, there may be no one to stand in his way.
Key to Truth trilogy
Book 1: Fire and Gold
First draft in progress.
Bronwyn is the only human without magic and an embarrassment to her family. She shuts herself away, until she learns her parents plan to marry her to a healer to solve their money problems. Everyone thinks he’s kind and gracious. But Bronwyn knows too well how he really gained his healing skills.
Fear drives her to hide in the nearby forest, where she meets the man who changes everything. Ash shows Bronwyn the only kindness she’s known in years and teaches her how to survive in the wild. She’s finally happy, even when she learns Ash comes from the forbidden lands. The lands of immortals. But immortals don’t know peace, and war calls Ash away all too soon.
Bronwyn thinks she’ll never see Ash again, but when she’s attacked by animals controlled by his enemies, Bronwyn must find him. Chased out of human lands, the world Bronwyn discovers is both beautiful and deadly. Her journey thrusts her into the centre of a war, and she is the key to winning. To escape being used to empower a rising evil, Bronwyn must gain immortal allies and finally face her lack of magic.
