Valanandir's throat spasms as he tries not to choke. He spits out a salty mouthful of seawater and grips some nearby rigging one-handed as the ship rocks beneath him. Under skies devoid of moon or sun, Valanandir fights for his life alongside his Sea Elf crew. But his ship already burns like a funeral pyre in the middle of the storm-tossed ocean. ...And far more than he realizes depends on his survival. Lose yourself in the thoroughly imagined World of Lasniniar with this first novel in the epic fantasy series by the author of the Fatal Empire series, Jacquelyn Smith.

Lasniniar. A new continent the elves can call home after the fall of Ralvaniar. They hope to finally find peace under the leadership of Iadrawyn and Valanandir—far from the dark creatures they left behind in the magical cataclysm. A simple enough wish. But darkness comes in many forms. And not even Iadrawyn and Valanandir know the hidden enemy that lurks within the elves' midst. ...Or how far they must go to stop him. The elves' epic struggle evolves to a new level, drawing enemies and allies alike in this sweeping, second novel from the World of Lasniniar fantasy series by the author of the Fatal Empire series, Jacquelyn Smith.

Midnight. The world of Lasniniar lies in silence, except for the patter of the falling rain. Iarion walks alone on Traitor's Road. His elven eyes pierce the darkness. The Jagged Mountains loom over him. Their oppressive shadow adds to his unease. ...That, and the goblin arrow wound burning his shoulder. Goblins. In the heart of the continent, in friendly territory. In Lasniniar, that can only mean one thing. A warning of dark days to come. Meet a new generation of heroes in this third novel in the World of Lasniniar epic fantasy series by the author of the Fatal Empire series, Jacquelyn Smith.
