A mother and father swinging their young daughter between them, all of us smiling and laughing as we headed to Cliff Park in Dubinshire for the Springsday Festival.  My father was a great dominus, a noble swordsman. Until that last battle which had left him crippled, he'd fought in many battles for the Temple, defending the Goddess from naysayers. My mother and I were both so proud of him. Or I thought we were.. My parents kept careful secrets hidden from the world behind well-chosen lies. I had the best schooling and was lined up to become a Temple historian. It suited my intellect and penmanship. Little did I know that I had the biggest piece of history right in front of me..." Annae Bytherhourn's life changes when she discovers her father is really a stranger. No, he is more than that. History says he's a thief, conspirator, traitor, and killer. He has manipulated her life to position her in as much danger as he would be in if the world found out he was still alive. But can she overcome her own personal anger leave the unbiased account of a life that needs to be remembered for a thousand years? History of a Dead Man chronicles the missing forty or so years in the life of Saint Steigan as told by the daughter he raised.

Manifest the Magic continues the epic fantasy saga started in The Three Books.

Long ago, Alityka said Steigan needed to find out who he was, what he was becoming. But what exactly was that?   At the time, he thought he knew. Now, failure travels at his heels. As Steigan flees on foot toward Dubinshire, tracking markers on the road lead him to a camp where several people are magic sick.

Now his enemies attack the gates of the ruined city of Lilinar to capture him. There will be no escape for him this time and no saving his friends. He has nothing but the debris around him. And the advantage of a lifetime to plan. Will it be enough to stop the threats retaking the land or to save his friend from turning to the evil powers that he knows will possess Martias?

Yet, the forest calls to him and makes him wonder how he can dedicate himself to this life when he feels so excluded.   After persuading his only friend, a young knight in training, to go with him for just one night, Martias longs for more, maybe even a glimpse of a centaur tribe. With some convincing that they might be able to see the knights they know in action, Martias and his friend head off toward a war going on somewhere among the mountains.   Being alone gets harder when running toward battle and perils around them grow.
