The Maer Cycle Series

Some Legends are true. Others have been twisted. Legends describe the Maer as savage man-beasts haunting the mountains, their bodies and faces covered with hair. Creatures of unimaginable strength, cunning, and cruelty. Bedtime stories to keep children indoors at night. Soldiers' tales to frighten new recruits. It is said the Maer once ruled the Silver Hills, but they have long since passed into oblivion. This is the story of their return. In Hollow Road, Carl, Sinnie and Finn, three companions since childhood, are tasked with bringing a friend's body home for burial. Along the way, they find there is more to the stories than they ever imagined, and the mountains hold threats even deadlier than the Maer. In The Archive, an expedition of humans and Maer seek out the legendary lost library of the Maer. A mystical surrogacy may bridge the gap between two peoples, and many hearts entwine as their adventure hurtles toward its bloody conclusion. In The Place Below, a young scholar and unwitting necromancer is drawn to an ancient mind felt deep beneath the earth. Her journey takes her to a place dark beyond her imagining where the long-lost secrets of humans and Maer are finally revealed. The Maer Cycle is a classic adventure fantasy trilogy with LGBTQ characters, perfect for fans of Dungeons and Dragons who want action, friendship, and empathy in equal measure.

Love is love. Death is forever. In Hollow Road (Maer Cycle book 1), three companions discovered the monsters of legend were all too real… Rumors among the Maer tell of an underground library called the Archive, which houses a wealth of knowledge and terrible magics that could be used to start the biggest war seen since the Great Betrayal. A mixed group of humans and Maer set off on an historic quest to find the Archive and protect it from those who would use it to destroy everything they hold dear. As the cold of winter bears down upon them, they trek through forbidding mountains beset by dangers they could have never imagined. They follow a set of ancient clues deep into the Silver Hills, forging surprising alliances and making new enemies. The humans and Maer are linked by more than their quest to find the Archive and stop an insidious war. A mystical surrogacy may bridge the gap between two peoples, and many hearts entwine as their adventure hurtles toward its bloody conclusion. This romantic adventure fantasy features feathered dragons, a diverse cast of LGBTQ characters and relationships, and an epic storyline that leaves no heart unscarred. Author's note: This book contains explicit violence and sexual content and is intended for adult audiences.

Some secrets are better left buried. It's been twenty-five years since the Battle for the Archive. Peace reigns over the Silver Hills, and humans and Maer are preparing to sign their first trade agreement. Even warring tribes of the Free Maer have set aside old quarrels. Sasha is a young scholar of mixed Maer and human parentage, traveling throughout the Maer lands collecting stories of the Ka-lar, the buried Forever Kings. She finds a reference in the Archive to a Ka-lar named Kuun, a scholar in life, who was laid down in an ancient brightstone mine, beneath a mountain said to be the home of the fabled Skin Maer. The lure of the tale is too strong to resist. Joined by some old friends, Sasha sets out to uncover secrets that have lain buried for over a thousand years. In The Place Below, the Maer Cycle comes to a close as the darkest mysteries of the Maer are at last brought into the light. This dark but hopeful fantasy adventure follows an unlikely pair of LGBTQ companions who travel far, wide, and deep below the earth in search of the ultimate truths about life, death, and their history. Author's note: This book contains dark themes, explicit violence, and grisly depictions of post-mortem rituals and is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
