dark prisoner:

the kruthos key

Imprisoned for over a thousand years by the Diveneans of old, Lord Balthazar covets one thing: his freedom. Using his minion Isafel and an evil imp spawn called Ilio, they will search Etharia for the one thing that will set their master free and bring chaos to the lands—the Kruthos Key.

With underlords scheming to take the throne and demons roaming freely throughout the land, it's a race against time. Yet one Divenean still lives and with the help of an ex-General there may be hope left.

But will it enough?

Dark Prisoner: Ebbing of Tides, Bk 2

hellhound bound

It’s a helluva job, but someone has to do it, and for Rhune it’s a small price to pay for his past sins. He’s taken a new name and a somewhat normal life, except at night when he transforms into a hellhound to take souls to the City of the Dead for purgatories legions to deliver them to Hell.

For fifteen centuries he’s lived in happy solitude until Hanna, a paralegal with the most amazing eyes, rear ends him in the small town of Rio Morden. He’s seen those eyes before, but it’s been years since the last time.

Now she’s all grown up and involved in a murder trial that has its sights set on her becoming its next victim.

What’s a hellhound to do? Surely not fall in love—and certainly not with a Dreamwalker. And is that all she is?

Mix in a diabolical lawyer and his lover, some Voodoo magic, and it’s a recipe for mayhem and murder. Can Rhune keep Hanna safe, or is she destined to be Hellhound Bound?

The Tears of San'Ferath

A deadly plague has claimed the lives of every mage’ical entity in Allanoria save for Sertharuis Berthannia, the last mage, and San’Ferath, the mighty King of Dragons. In a final act of defiance, they sacrifice themselves to safeguard the legacy of mage’ic. Soon their names fade into myth, their memories into dust.

Five centuries later Cethland Mer’Merallis, a freelance mercenary with an insatiable hunger for knowledge, is summoned by the High Regent. His mission: find a girl the Regent claims is his daughter.  Locating lost items is second nature to Ceth. So why does this job feel wrong? And personal?

Anea Fieblekorn is fierce, quick-witted, and unyielding. She stirs something primordial within him.

Something dangerous.

Something ancient.

Something that has lain dormant for over five hundred years.

And as that power awakens so too does a destiny that could reshape the world.
