  The door was already open. A soldier stood at attention in the doorway. When he spotted Navran his eyes grew wide and he bowed suddenly.

  “My lord and king, we couldn’t drive them off. Our arrows did nothing—”

  “I know,” Navran said. “The Devoured. Follow us. We fly to Virnas, and Ulaur help us to arrive before any of them take the gates.”

  The watch-tower was emptied and they marched down the road. The fire charged across the fields to the west, still driven by the wind.

  They saw no more Devoured that day. They passed two more watch-towers that day and emptied them of soldiers. They marched past sundown, until the moon was high in the sky and walls of Virnas glowered in the darkness. A night and a day of constant travel. Navran had never been so weary. They pounded on the gates, and at the sound of Navran’s voice the gates opened and the soldiers poured through.

  Virnas, Navran thought. Safety. For a little while.

  STORM BRIDE

  War. Peace. One woman with the power to choose…

  “[A] stand-alone secondary-world fantasy epic of the first order.” (Publisher’s Weekly)

  Saotse thought she was special. Once carried across the ocean by the Power of the Sea, the spiritual world abandoned her in a strange land with no way to return. When an army of vicious nomads threatens Saotse’s adopted city, a different Power begins to speak to her.

  Keshlik has tired of war. As his men pillage yet another city, the general seeks an excuse to make peace without taking himself out of leadership.

  Uya mourns her dead husband killed in the barbarian invasion. Forced into Keshlik’s service, she’s taken as a slave to the barbarian general’s pregnant wife. As she recovers from her grief, Uya must consider whether she should resign herself to fate… or let the bloodlust of revenge take hold.

  When Saotse gains an incredible ability that could level the playing field against Keshlik and protect her adopted sister Uya, she’ll have to decide between war and peace. Between life and death. Between the gods and herself.

  If you like unconventional fantasy settings, deep characterization, and edge-of-your-seat action, then you’ll love this gripping, beautifully-written epic fantasy novel.
