Dragons can be dangerous …

… if you don’t bond with them first.

Eldwin wants to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a Dragon Guard, but not for the glory. With his family dead and their lands dying, the opportunity to join the dragon rider school is all he has. But before Eldwin can bond with a dragon and guard the skies, he must pass three tests to prove his worth.

Compassion, magical aptitude, and armed combat.

He’s determined to pass, but his maimed arm is a constant reminder of his disadvantage. Will the obstacles Eldwin faces keep him from reaching his dreams, or will he finally see what it’s like to ride the skies?

Fans of Sarah K.L. Wilson’s Dragon School, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon and Anne McCaffrey’s Dragon Riders of Pern will feel right at home.

Trial by Sorcery is the first episode of the series Dragon Riders of Osnen.

“A fast-paced and gripping romantasy! This is the book that will cure your Fourth Wing hangover and give you everything you love about dragon riders, fae magic, and grumpy book boyfriends.” —Tessonja Odette, author of the Entangled with Fae series

Her life, or her love. Tahlia can’t have both.

When Tahlia’s commander dies under mysterious circumstances, the only suspect is… Wait for it—their new commander.

Fantastic.

If Tahlia accuses her without proof, she’ll lose everything. Including her soul-bonded dragon.

To make matters worse, something is wrong with her handsome and perfectly grouchy captain. Marius won’t meet her gaze, and he won’t utter one word about the new commander.

Like, not a syllable. As if maybe he isn’t able.

But Talia can’t just walk away from him. This is Marius we are talking about. He is about to set off on some secret mission, and she can’t let him go alone when he has that creepy, clouded look in his eyes. Especially with the fate of the dragon riders resting in such dangerous hands.

Dark magic and evil forces are rising in Kingdom of Spirits, and Tahlia is determined to uncover the truth. Even if it means risking her life.

This fantasy rom com is NOT a standalone! Check out Bound by Dragons Book One for Talia and Marius’s first encounter.

***This series is upper YA/NA and contains mature language and situations. There is a dash of spice here and there on the page.

Cover Artwork by Stephen Youll (A Game of Thrones, Dune)

Dive into a universe where the vibrant adventure of Indiana Jones and Uncharted meets the rich space fantasy of Dune and Star Wars. Welcome to the future of Mars—a realm teetering on the edge of discovery and disaster.

Earth is no more. Only the legends of the past remain, whispered among the settlers of Mars. The red deserts hide secrets, some ancient, some terrifyingly new. But for Raymond Redmin, a man from the 21st century mysteriously transported 200 years into the future, the biggest secret is his own presence on the planet.

The vast, intricate lore and history of this world is ripe for exploration. Walk the shifting sands alongside a medley of characters reminiscent of the American Wild West, the fearless soldiers of Starship Troopers and Halo, and the ageless courage of the noble heroes from Lord of the Rings. Traverse a terrain dotted with exo-mechs, towering humanoid machines echoing the majesty of Gundam and Mechwarrior.

Amidst the volatile politics of Martian factions, Raymond and his eclectic band—including a brave Frontier woman, a noble squad of superhuman soldiers, a brash gunslinging cowboy, a community of benevolent androids, an apprehensive drone pilot, and a loyal robotic fox—embark on a mission. Their goal? Keep the remnants of Raymond’s crashed spaceship from falling into the wrong hands, and prevent the peaceful town of Remnant from being swept up into a war that will embroil the entire planet.

Witness narratives intertwining, challenges escalating, and mysteries unveiling as the odyssey races toward a climax reminiscent of cinematic epics. Themes of honor, valor, and unforeseen romance are masterfully woven into the fabric of this adventure. And lurking behind it all, the looming question—what truly is the Red Tomorrow?

The Red Frontier beckons. Are you prepared to answer the call? Delve into a tale of duty, destiny, and the hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Raymond Redmin, a doctor from the 21st century, suddenly awakens aboard a malfunctioning spaceship. He has no recollection of how or why he ended up here, hundreds of years in the future, crashing down to the planet Mars. It has apparently been 185 years since the Earth went “silent.” The colonists of Mars have since created their own society. After centuries of war, the planet is now ruled by the utopian Zeltan Kingdom, a race of genetically engineered superhumans. However, all of the disparate factions of the planet are coming to descend upon the crash site of Raymond’s ship. Although his sudden appearance may yield some answers as to what has happened to Earth, war threatens to engulf the nearby peaceful settlement town of Remnant on the red deserts of the Frontier.

Raymond, along with a fearless young woman of the Frontier, noble Zeltan supersoldiers, benevolent androids, a quick-drawing cowboy, and faithful robotic fox companion, they set off on a harrowing journey to prevent the ship’s technology from falling into the wrong hands. Encountering menacing cyborg pirates, experimental hordes of the undead, savage evolved beasts of a treacherous dark forest, and giant robotic humanoid battle suits called exo-mechs, these heroes are the last hope for the red tomorrow…

Magic. Royalty. Power plays. Swords. Action. And a slow-burn romance with the bastard son of the enemy king . . .

There’s a bounty on my head, and it’s going to spark a supernatural war.

My name is Petra Maguire, and I’m a vampire hunter and full-blood Fae living among humans. My father would rather have me in Faerie serving his queen, but I want nothing to do with her tyrannical reign.

But when I discover I have a changeling twin sister who’s been kidnapped by the enemy King Periclase, I can’t avoid Faerie affairs any longer.

Plunging back into the Faerie world of magic, royalty, and power plays I’ve been avoiding for so long, I take on a dangerous mission to free my twin.

And then all hell breaks loose.

Periclase puts a bounty on my head, and he has unlimited resources to pursue me. And the rescue of my twin has pushed inter-kingdom hostilities to a tipping point. Suddenly, Faerie is on the brink of all-out war, which would mean almost certain death for my soldier father and a life of slavery for my new-found twin.

Fortunately, I have the power to stop the looming war. There’s just one little catch: I have to enter the Battle of Champions against Periclase’s best fighter, and it’s a fight to the death. I was practically born with a sword in my hand and spent my youth defeating opponents. But will it be enough in this battle with everything—including my life—on the line?
