Book Description
In this exciting follow-up to Shimmer and Burn, Faris has given up love to save her sister’s life and the dying kingdom of Avinea, but will her sacrifices be enough to overcome the poisoned magic and villains surrounding her on all sides? The fight is just beginning. Faris has been forced to give up the man she loves for a dangerous but necessary alliance. Her loyalty is bound by magic to his future bride, the villainous Bryn. And her mother’s powerful spell that could be the key to saving Avinea fights with poisoned magic for control of her heart. None of that matters though because everything Faris has done has been for Cadence, the little sister she’s been trying to rescue from the king’s slavery. Now they’re finally reunited, but Cadence has a gut-wrenching confession: she remembers everything from while she was under the king’s enchantment. She wants nothing to do with Faris. Heartbroken, Faris focuses on tracking Merlock, the king who must be killed to stop The Burn, by manipulating her mother’s spell through her dreams. Before long though, Faris realizes these aren’t normal dreams, they might just be real, and they may show her a way to kill Merlock herself. But there are things darker than poison that lie in The Burn, and not even the spell deep in Faris’s chest can stop them. Faris will again be faced with impossible choices. Does she risk everything to save Avinea, even if she might lose North and further betray her sister’s trust? Or does she succumb to the poison inside that begs her to think this time, finally, of herself?

Book Description
To save her sister’s life, Faris must smuggle magic into a plague-ridden neighboring kingdom in this exciting and dangerous start to a brand-new fantasy duology. Faris grew up fighting to survive in the slums of Brindaigel while caring for her sister, Cadence. But when Cadence is caught trying to flee the kingdom and is sold into slavery, Faris reluctantly agrees to a lucrative scheme to buy her back, inadvertently binding herself to the power-hungry Princess Bryn, who wants to steal her father’s throne. Now Faris must smuggle stolen magic into neighboring Avinea to incite its prince to alliance—magic that addicts in the war-torn country can sense in her blood and can steal with a touch. She and Bryn turn to a handsome traveling magician, North, who offers protection from Avinea’s many dangers, but he cannot save Faris from Bryn’s cruelty as she leverages Cadence’s freedom to force Faris to do anything—or kill anyone—she asks. Yet Faris is as fierce as Bryn, and even as she finds herself falling for North, she develops schemes of her own. With the fate of kingdoms at stake, Faris, Bryn, and North maneuver through a dangerous game of magical and political machinations, where lives can be destroyed—or saved—with only a touch.

Book Description
Dearkin, a 352-year-old wizard takes his three charges... Eric, 18, Amanda, 14 and Harry 11 back to Antiqueus, the homeland he had left 112 years earlier. Being located in the mid Atlantic, the vast continent is the home of the legendary city of Atlantis. Aboard Dearkin's flying sailboat, the Mazzergast, they pass through a time rift exiting into present day Antiqueus six hours, eight minutes and four seconds into the future. Completely cloaked from our world by the time differential Antiqueus has existed, separate from our world, for nine thousand years when a massive crystal meteorite struck the continent thrusting it into the future. Besides exploring the stunning wonders of Atlantis, the fanciful landscapes of Antiqueus and the diverse mix of species, Dearkin and his crew increase in number as they track down the crazy wizard who fled with parts of the life-giving Crystal, causing destructive Time Querks and advancing the Crystal towards its inevitable annihilation destroying all of Antiqueus. Not only fighting the Time Querk's bizarre phenomena, the protagonists must fend off the vile hoard of Psychnaughts: bat-winged creatures who, seeing the young Amanda as the fulfillment of prophesy, seek to kidnap and sacrifice her life for the fruition of the Crystals destruction. Through their continental quest of finding the crazed wizard and replacing the stolen crystals the philosophy of the Wizardry is revealed, a young romance is started as another long-term one is renewed and all of Antiqueus is rocked to its core fighting a climactic battle between good verses bad and destruction verses creation. Accompanied by 35 illustrations, 12 maps and an expanded Glossarium, Antiqueus, Quest of the Mazzergast is a compilation of over fifteen years of research, writing and art. It has, at times been the bane of my life, but all in all, getting the chance to share my story with readers, young and old has been the most rewarding joy my life.
