by Terry C. Simpson


  Until now.

  Everything he thought he knew about the King, his people, and his world is coming to an end. At a time when there should be peace, he’s once again called to war. Torn between shocking changes at home, his family, loyalty to his men and his King, Stefan wishes only to enjoy life away from the battlefield. But with the new campaign comes a rabid, unforgiving enemy and a potential cataclysm.

  Follow him as he fights to save his family, his people, his honor, and his birthright from the grips of the shade. Can he save them all? If not, which will he choose, which will he lose?

  The Shadowbearer is a rousing and engaging prequel to Etchings of Power and a worthy addition to the Aegis of the Gods series.

  Book 2: Ashes and Blood

  The epic continuation of the Aegis of the Gods series.

  Ancel Dorn has gained the first of his power. And now he’s a wanted man.

  Ryne Waldron wants to teach him. The Nine want him to be taught before they kill him. Galiana Calestis wants him to live, and learn, and hopefully accomplish what she never was able to do: save their people. Irmina Nagel wants to love him again. Stefan Dorn, his father, wants him to lead and pave his own path.

  The Tribunal and the shade want him dead.

  All he wishes is to save his mother if she lives; rescue his father from the Tribunal’s clutches; find love again; help his people. And to learn how to harness his power before it drives him mad or kills him.

  Cities will burn. The innocent will die. The dead shall rise. Nightmares will stalk the land. Guardians will wreak havoc.

  Can he, Irmina, Galiana, and Ryne help to stem the tide? If so, at what cost?

  The Quintessence Cycle series

  Book 1: Game of Souls

  Your soul is your magic. The nobility will stop at nothing to steal it.

  Keedar Giorin still remembers the night when soldiers killed his mother. The Night of Blades. He was three, but the memories are written in his mind in blood, flames, scales, and his mother’s mad cackles.

  Assigned by his father to save two young noblemen or risk a repeat of the massacre on his home in the Smear, Kasandar’s most lawless district, Keedar dives headlong into the mission. He uses his most secret skill, a magic that could bring the King’s Blades hunting him, a magic that could be a death sentence if reported to the wrong ears.

  But even that risk is part of his father’s calculated plan. A plot to determine who was behind his mother’s death, while securing a new ally for their guild, and seeing their people rise from squalor and oppression to strive for the identity and power they have all but forgotten.

  Plans, however, do not always follow the path drawn out. What will Keedar do when a count takes interest in his magic? Where will he run to when the hunt begins? Can a young man now growing into his power find a way to defeat the most ruthless of assassins?

  The Arcanus Archives series

  Book 1 : Shadeborn

  If Death had a child, it would be Shadeborn.

  Mike’s a misguided thug haunted by bad luck, tragedy, and a psychopathic brother. Darius sits atop a world he’s ready to abandon. Sheila is just looking to make a meal of the magically gifted.

  What do they have in common?

  A slew of supernatural creatures, the Arcane Police, and the N.Y.P.D who all want them either dead or captured.

  Oh, there’s also Phil. But when Phil’s around, people die. Lots of them.

  So what’s to be done when death or worse come calling, and immortals decide to shape the life of men?

  Learn to accept what you are or die. Then again, death isn’t what it used to be.
