The Ghosts
Series

Once CAINA AMALAS was the shy
daughter of a minor nobleman, content to spend her days in her
father’s library.

Then sorcery and murder and
her mother’s treachery tore her life apart.

Now she is a nightfighter of
the Ghosts, an elite agent of the spies and assassins of the
Emperor of Nighmar. She is a master of disguise and infiltration,
of stealth and the shadows.

And she will need all those
skills to defend the Empire and stay alive.

Corrupt lords scheme and plot
in the shadows, desiring to pull down the Emperor and rule the
Empire for their own profit and glory. Slave traders lurk on the
fringes of the Empire, ready to seize unwary commoners and sell
them into servitude in distant lands. Yet both slave traders and
cruel lords must beware the Ghosts.

The Magisterium, the Imperial
brotherhood of sorcerers, believe themselves the rightful masters
of the Empire. With their arcane sciences, they plan to overthrow
the Empire and enslave the commoners, ruling all of mankind for
their own benefit. Only the Ghosts stand in the path of their
sinister plans.

And the Moroaica, the ancient
sorceress of legend and terror, waits in the shadows, preparing to
launch a war upon the gods themselves. She will make the gods pay
for the suffering of mankind...even if she must destroy the world
to do it.

Caina Amalas of the Ghosts
opposes these mighty enemies, but the cost might be more than she
can bear.

The Frostborn
Series

A thousand years ago, the
last grandson of Arthur Pendragon led the survivors of Britain
through a magical gate to a new world, a world of magic and high
elves, of orcs and kobolds and stranger, darker creatures. Now the
descendants of the exiles rule a mighty kingdom, peaceful and
prosperous under the rule of the High King.

But a shadow threatens to
devour the kingdom.

RIDMARK ARBAN was once a
Swordbearer, a knight of renown. Now he is a branded outcast,
stripped of his sword, and despised as a traitor.

But he alone sees the danger
to come. The Frostborn shall return, and unless they are stopped,
they will cover all the world in ice and a neverending winter.

CALLIANDE awakens in the
darkness, her memories gone, and creatures of terrible power
hunting her.

For she alone holds the
secret that can save the world…or destroy it utterly.

The secret of the
Frostborn.

Cloak Games

In 2013, a gate to another
world opened, and Elves used their magic to conquer Earth, crushing
all resistance before them.

Three hundred years after the
Conquest, the exiled Elven High Queen rules an orderly but stagnant
Earth, with humanity forced to fight in the High Queen’s war
against the traitors on the Elven homeworld.

Nadia Moran doesn’t care
about that. She doesn’t care about the High Queen, or the Rebels
seeking to overthrow her. All she cares about is getting her baby
brother the treatments he needs to recover from his potentially
fatal disease…and those treatments have a steep price.

Fortunately, Nadia has magic
of her own, and she’s a very, very good thief.

Unfortunately, the powerful
Elven lord Morvilind has a hold on Nadia. If she doesn’t follow his
commands, her brother is going to die.

Of course, given how
dangerous Morvilind’s missions are, Nadia might not live long
enough to see her brother’s death…
