Original Novels

The Bright Day has come. Magic returns to a world that has all but forgotten it.

The Order of the Magii rejoices, for their prophesied chosen child will usher them from the cruel misrule of Hakon Fyrro, the Pale Jarl, and into into a world of peace and light.

Yet, with their hope come evil omens. The once-banished Devourers stir in the wilderness, eager to restore their pantheon to supremacy and plunge everyone back into the mythic Dark World. The magii know only the chosen child can stop them, but where there ought to be one born with the power to defeat the Devourers, there're two, and not even the Ancient, their leader, knows which is the prophesied victor.

Sasyo Ahant, giftless and outcast, is forced from the safety of the Magii's libraries into a divided, chaotic world for fear of influencing the twin girls marked for greatness. To survive, he must become everything the Order of the Magii told him he was not.

And always he dreams of the Screaming Man upon his crimson stair into the heavens.

And he knows, deep down, that his part to play isn't done.

The magii are gone. Their temple and libraries ash. The survivors in chains.

Anari and Anura, prophesied saviours, are separated, fleeing Hakon's wrath with only their teachers for protection, and while they live, their is hope. Yet all around them, the jarls of the Pale Realm nurse their grievances, watching Eina and Brynjar's quiet contest and waiting for Hakon's grip on the Jagged Crown to slip...

Cast adrift from the broken fleet and dreams of the Admago Astegal, Sasyo languishes in the prison of his people in Til Athan, all he hoped for snatched away on the winds of the storm.

And somewhere in the Wildwood beyond the forests of Folke's home, darkness stirs.

Hárkóróna burns. The fires of the Red Mountain still rage through the ruins of the capital.

And with Hakon gone, Eina and Brynjar's game of succession turns deadly, for all the jarls of the Pale Realm know that their moment of opportunity has come. Yet, for Eina, one fear looms above all. The Man with the Sword of the Moon is coming.

Drawn into the struggle, Anari offers her aid to Brynjar, who arranged her escape from Hárkóróna and smuggled her with him to the crumbling Southern Realm. And in the East, Anura rouses her allies to seize the Jagged Crown for her own. 

Fleeing the bloody schemes of southern nobles, Bruska follows Gustav North to the safety of Grænthlið, where the new leiðarlyjós warns the faithful of the dangers of the Neytendur. Folke, too, knows of these dangers, and as he and his companions near Alath Aman, former stronghold of the Forest Queen, the true threat of the necromancer becomes clearer.

Betrayed in Hárkóróna and left for dead, Sasyo turns down the mysterious offer of Maní, the Tilan Queen, and returns to Anura's side, to fight for the one person he still has faith in.

But once more, Sasyo dreams of the Screaming Man, upon his stairway into the heavens. And once more, Azha, Priest of Assat, slips through the fingers of Sasyo's friend, Drauj.

And somewhere out there beyond the flames of civil war and the conflicts of men, the children and servants of the Neytendur are stirring...

Bruska is dead. Executed alongside the leiðarlyjós and his hárkyndylinn for the horrors perpetrated in the name of faith. But Neisti survives, spared by the word of Aksa Haaskal and imprisoned.

Across the Pale Realm, the civil war worsens. With Helka Torvun's treachery dealt with, Irling rides south, seeking his wife, the last of the Jarls Vangur, and her scheming kidnappers. Newly wed to the sly Asta Himyn, Eina grapples with aftermath of Audun Torvun and his mother's treachery in the East. Now bereft of his thane, Vern, but with the Man with the Sword of the Moon slain, he finds himself trapped under the increasingly abrasive rule of a mistrustful, furious Anura.

In the Crownlands, Brynjar marches with all his strength to confront Eina, refusing to aid Anari in the investigation of the mysterious standing stones Azha is certain are important to the Neytendur's return. And when the dagger of Brynjar's duplicitous thane is found in the back of the head of Anari's teacher, Anari begins to suspect he has never been the ally she believed.

At Alath Aman, the Forest Queen has taken all that Folke holds dear. Yet Bjart's master, the Devouring God who led him all the way into the Wildwood to die, is to blame too. But for Folke to survive, he must flee the Forest Queen's reach, for even shackled, she is a god amongst the trees.

Sasyo, bitterly grieving the loss of Yzebo, now holds the Jagged Crown. Bequeathed to him by Hakon, so that he might do the duty of the Pale Jarl that Hakon failed, the circlet that will one day belong to Anari or Anura rests upon his head. And though all he has dreamt of has now come true save for the vision of the Screaming Man, he will try, one last time, to do what a magii is meant to as best as he can.
