The King and the SlaveA stand-alone short story fantasy adventure
Torn from his family and his village in his youth, an anonymous man is recruited by a mysterious organization plotting regicide and revolution. With nothing left to lose, the slave carves history with the edge of his own sword, but he finds the last pieces of his own past along the way.
The King and the Slave is a modern short fantasy crafted from classical themes of good versus evil, the weak against the strong, and the oppressed against the oppressor. A slave, forged in fire and war, will rise to challenge a king. The world teeters on one moment—and that moment is the only chance for all of those who seek justice. |
A Land of Our Own
In a hard, dry land where they say so much blood has spilled that nothing green can grow, a child is born into slavery and orphaned at a young age.
In the course of his escape, he fights in open battle as a soldier, spies inside enemy castles in disguise, hides in rural villages, and faces starvation alone in a frozen wilderness. This boy's destiny, however, will cast him into a great and terrifying adventure, one that will remake the world and free a whole nation of people born into bondage. In The Shadows of Laeolin
This fast-paced political thriller features our heroes from the first book, who must travel to the hostile city of Laeolin for the first Council of Nations since the end of the Great Wars. Here dreams are born and given life. But dreams, like the heroes who pursue them, are very fragile things.
