The Nebril Riverland Chronicles Series

My life has certainly changed since I left home. I have almost drowned, flown on the back of a man-bat, and been paralyzed by an Orlog. And now, we have learned a ghastly secret linking these dark creatures with Nebril City. Only the Guardians can put an end to the spiritual corruption that threatens our home. But unfortunately, most of them have mysteriously disappeared, and those of us that are left, are hunted down for reasons unknown. And now we must wait in the Beyjerones caves until our army amasses before making the journey to Mernwick’s prison to find my bei clu va. The Beyjerone soldiers, the Varsak giants, and the other warriors of the Twelve Clans will make a strong fighting force, but I fear they may not stand a chance against the massive military of Nebril City. I’m also worried about Ashel. He has been severely weakened by the effects of the black bei and is being tempted by the voice of a powerful foe. His feelings for me are becoming obvious as well, but I have a duty. There’s a man out there who holds the other half of my soul, a man to whom I am profoundly drawn, a man who must be by my side if we are to save the Riverlands. But how can I choose someone I’ve never met over a lifelong friend? Clan of the Ancient Minds is the second book of The Nebril Riverland Chronicles, an ongoing young-adult fantasy series. Book Three is due for release in the summer of 2024.

Ancient villains...Mythical creatures A city of dark immortals...A misfit farm girl Heroes with severed souls trying to save a broken land... My name is Emerin and I have always had a compulsion to wander.

Something out there has been beckoning me and I have spent a lifetime longing to answer its call. But the elders have their own plans for me. I have just turned seventeen, which is when girls are matched for marriage. Unfortunately, being married to Callum is not how I envision my future. But little did I know, a chance meeting with a strange creature would change my life, causing me to question everything I have ever known. Nebril City, on the other side of the Riverlands, is a sprawling metropolis that I have never seen, but it is rapidly taking over the lands that surround it. This growing city has a dark secret that threatens everyone, and only a select group of people are able to right the wrongs that have been committed. And, unfortunately, one of those people is me. Now my best friend, Jalya, and I must leave home for the first time and embark on an epic journey. The world outside of our village is full of unimaginable horrors—horrors which we have the power to stop if only we can follow through on this quest we have been given. Our mission is clear. Jalya must find her missing brother and I must find a part of myself that I never knew existed.
