In the heart-wrenching tapestry of The Legacy of Sorrow, Kara and her family — her Counsel bound by heritage and unbreakable friendships — navigate treacherous factions from the depths of a concealed Vampyre city. Amidst the relentless struggle against warring agents thirsting for dominance over the Vampyre Virus, their internal battles mirror the very essence of humanity — facing addiction, loss, excruciating pain, haunting traumas, and precarious relationships.
Immortality, rather than offering solace, casts a dark shadow as the war they wage unravels into devastating chaos. The concept of natural death may seem distant, but the fears of each character intensify, transform, and slowly shift their motivations. This urban fantasy epic, a groundbreaking reimagining of the Vampyre genre, doesn't shy away from the raw and emotional core that infests humanity and its modern themes. The weight of each character's journey is not just felt; it's etched into the very fabric of the story. Every chapter unfurls through the lens of a distinct character, allowing the story to flow from those who are most impacted by its circumstances. The kaleidoscope of perspectives keeps the events vibrant and forces readers to experience the souls and minds of the protagonists in an innovative and immersive narrative.
The Legacy of Sorrow is a psychological rollercoaster, where the gravity of each new emotional plague is affected by moments of humor, soul-stirring (and occasionally spicy) romance, horrific tragedy, and supernatural warfare. This series is the beating heart of a larger franchise, spanning four volumes that each weave the main events and major characters into the epicenter of an unforgettable narrative and a much larger universe. Don't enter lightly into the emotionally-charged odyssey that defies traditional Vampyre mythos. The Legacy's bloodthirst awaits.
The chill winds of Autumn carry along the bitter changing of the world. The wheel of war has turned, crushing an empire into the mud. Shadows arise from the mire of time, drawn in by the wanton bloodshed.
The first of the Sagas of Odenseye, Conquering Autumn, is a tale of loss and reaction, grief and healing, trauma and recovery, and so much more. Written over a period of nearly a decade, this epic fantasy series is an exploration of what it means to be alive, as well as the emotional and mental impact of being a part of a world that is rapidly falling apart.
Follow Alauren, a small town blacksmith, as the mysterious appearance of a Dwarf named Valin upends the peaceful life she had grown accustomed to. Joined by her old friend and former soldier Edlevin, Alauren must face down a changing world while simultaneously adjusting to life among a vicious, tall race of peoples called the Northmen. Stalked across land and ocean, this wayward smith has little choice but to go where the world takes her, doing what she can to survive against a group of enigmatic and shadowy pursuers that keep themselves hidden behind heavy plate armor and concealing helms.
Meanwhile, the mighty Nirali military, led by a General named Morvin, thunders across the Elysian fields of war, overthrowing any who resist while securing territory for the nation of their birth. A darkness lurks among these eastern warriors, however; their Grand Marshal, Karsus, was killed, his heart stolen from his chest, yet he lives and breathes again. Many call him the harbinger of the end, while the Nirali see only a bright sunrise ahead.
