Erythleh Chronicles Series

Welcome to Erythleh; a world of politics, love, hurt, heartache and war. This is a world where farmers live side-by-side with werewolves, where soldiers fight alongside a cavalry of gryphons, and where your worst enemy might be the person that should be closest to you. Jorrell and Serwren are in love, naively and completely in love; in the way that only teenagers can be.  They have their whole lives planned out ahead of them and then fate, and Serwren's jealous brother, conspire to keep them apart.  Despite years of separation, through all the mortal challenges that they face, their love barely falters. They grow and learn more about themselves and the world around them.  When they are, finally, reunited, they realise that duty, responsibility and the fate of their nation may ultimately take precedence over their own desires.

Elthrinn and Gorren are not a match made in fate.  Gorren is the youngest prince of a family that rules a nation of shapeshifters. He is forced to marry Elthrinn for respectability's sake, to please his father, to forge an alliance. She is forced to marry Gorren to protect the people that she loves, because she has no other choice. Her uncle, ruler of her country, will imprison and torture anyone she holds dear if she doesn't comply with his demands.  Elthrinn, innocent in nature and torn from the chaste life of a priestess, has to learn to live in an entirely new culture, as well as adjust to married life. Gorren has to learn to accept her differences, and the impact that they have on everyone around him. Somewhere along that journey of discovery, they fall in love, but that love might not survive a treachery that threatens to destroy everything that they know and love.

For years, Athine stood firm with the rest of her countrymen, defending their home, their way of life, from the brutal invading army.  Even when that way of life changed out of all recognition, twisted by the pressure of living through constant battles and sieges, the people of Litt never gave up hope that they would win, that they would reclaim their country as their own. Cael joined the army of Felthiss voluntarily, he thought it would be a way to see the world, an exciting life, a way to escape the monotonous drudgery of life as a farmer.  In some ways, it was never a disappointment, but there were some aspects of army life that he hadn't bargained for. He's the consummate soldier, very good at doing what he's told to do, but he isn't a heartless drone. Litt inevitably falls to the might of Felthiss, but the viciousness of the war leaves scars on both sides. Athine's choice of sanctuary leads to an encounter that forces her to run again. Only this time, someone is giving chase.   She's searching for a new life, although she knows that safety and stability are too much to ask for.  Cael is looking to punish the person who endangered his dearest friends, who also happen to be the leaders of Felthiss, people that he's sworn to protect.   Their tale twists and turns through their adventures. Hatred and prejudice give way to a grudging respect, but if they want more, they'll have to heal their wounds.

King Kavrazel has been leader of the country of Vuthron for a long time, more than half his life. He was young when the crown became his, a burden borne on a wave of grief following the death of both his parents. He's tried to be a good king and a good man, but he's had to find his own way. He cannot boast many guiding lights in his life.  There are certain traditions that Vuthron embraces; traditions that have been the cause of wars in the past, but the country holds its customs sacred. Their practices have become more refined over the centuries, but they still require living bodies to fulfill them, and the slavers of the south deliver what the Vuthroans need.  Lyssia's home is in the unforgiving desert of Sannarrell, or at least, it used to be. She was almost captured as a child by slave traders from Veltharesh, so her family sent her away to safety. Now her home is with the other refugees and rebels in Sken, a city hidden under the baking sands of the Southern Wastelands. They raid passing trade caravans to survive, and do their best to save their people from the clutches of Vuthron.  A trap is set, and Lyssia is caught and sold. She finds herself in the royal castle, in the seat of the ruling power of Vuthron, beholden to her new master's whims. Her prison is not as secure as one might think, but the momentary break brings terror rather than freedom. Lyssia finds that, perhaps, escape isn't everything she thought she wanted.  And when all is said and done, King Kavrazel finds that perhaps he's the one who's been ensnared.
