NEW RELEASE

THE COVEN

Pepin has reclaimed his title as DragonMaster and his allegiance is in question - are his loyalties to Mere Odain or the elves? The timing of this political crisis could not have been worse, as the Crown Prince is to leave the next day on a diplomatic visit to Dalziel.

Once in Dalziel, things rapidly begIn to fall apart. Politically, Kyel and Jansson are at each other's throats, Vantann and Thomlin make friends in the wrong places, and Treyas finds out that his SoulMate and squire, Druce Sinclair, is suffering from a horribly painful and incurable disease.

To top it off, Treyas discovers that Dalziel has been overrun with Nydiri, who have the power of Illusion. He is no longer sure who is talking to – a trusted friend or an imposter.

When Vantann, Thomlin, Elecka Sylvain and a kitchen girl disappear, it becomes a cat and mouse game to find them without alerting the Nydiri that their deception has been uncovered. At least until Treyas can find a way to free the captives and destroy the Nydiri threat once and for all...

Swept into a land that demonizes the second born of twins, that forbids magic, and that is being terrorized by a coven of Nydiri, the twins very survival is threatened.

Any use of magic without a permit means death. And any contact with the Nydiri means the same, for they are actively searching for twins to complete a powerful spell set at the height of a mysterious orange moon.

The brothers, and young Shuri decide they are willing to brave the risks and prove themselves, but before they have a chance to really get prepared, they are sent to the caves by haphazard magic.

Once there, it doesn't take long before Shuri and Vantann are captured by war gnomes and Thomlin is lost in a dark swamp. His only consolation is that, somehow, he has snagged Jansson van Tannen along for the bumpy ride. And, where Jansson goes, so go his friends.

Treyas, Darosenim, Kyel, and Druce enter the caves in search of the wayward children. But once there, they find much more than they bargained for, and the question becomes -; who will be forced to stay in the Caves of Challenge forever?

NITESH

Although Thalassa, a sea-witch is captured when the warlord Rhaeven sends his troops to her small village, she views it as not much more than what her past life entailed. Married at a young age to a man she did not love, and abused during the relationship, she is secretly glad to see her husband die. Now, pregnant, enslaved, and stricken with a deadly disease, she only waits her own death to release her from her torment.

Terran, the elfin Crown Prince of Diraenia, must choose a mate and produce an heir before his 30th birthday, or forfeit the crown to his youngest brother, Unwin. And time is running out. Terran is 29. His fiance, Elise, is dead, and he believes Unwin responsible. Yet, there is no proof. To make matters worse, Terran's other brother, Sinclair, has disappeared, and Terran fears the worse.

Bothered by a strange, haunting beat of drums, which no one can hear save himself, Terran's thoughts continually turn to a brief encounter with a young woman from Zal. Three days he spent with her, walking her back to her village, and her pre-ordained life there. Three days he spent falling in love with a woman who could never be his. She returned to her village, her waiting husband, and he returned to the palace, and life of emptiness and despair.

But the drums continue to call, and at last, Terran sets out to revisit the village, to see the woman one more time, to bring a close to his questions.
