About this series
An alluring stranger. A trail of destruction. Will Ferathan survive her charm?
When a stranger arrives in the secluded town of Ferathan, the townspeople are enamored by her mystique and beauty. Lonely farmer Gaethen Devorac is the particular target of Naliah Lunarra's affections, and he is oblivious to the strange occurrences in town since she appeared.
As the community endures famine, rare attacks by giants, and bizarre behavior by the local livestock and wildlife, the people of Ferathan turn to Naliah for protection. Gaethen's skeptical friend Jermaine Fielder follows Naliah's path of destruction that led her to the town. Will he discover who—and what—she really is before it's too late for Gaethen and the rest of Ferathan?
The Witch of Ferathan is a standalone story set seventy years before Gemma Calvertson and the Forest of Despair, Book One of the Aepistelle Chronicles. Chapter One of The Forest of Despair is also included as a special sneak preview.

- Gemma Calvertson and the Forest of Despair: The Aepistelle Chronicles, #1
1
A heroine's first adventure. A kingdom's last hope. Gemma spends her days studying a war her father fought in before her birth, but she realizes that not everything is what it seems. When she sets off to interview an aging hero, she learns about an emerging threat to the kingdom prophesied by the forbidden factions of magic and religion. Since she can't go to the officials without incriminating her new friend Richard, they must set off together on a journey through an uncanny forest to confirm and neutralize the threat. Can they forge new alliances and defeat the forces of evil without the use of magic or the might of a military? If they fail, everyone they love will perish. The Forest of Despair is the first book of the Aepistelle Chronicles, a new series of epic fantasy adventures following an emerging heroine and her team of sidekicks, including a witch with an army of children, a young homeless seer, a giant ogre, a boisterous stage performer, and an all-female crew of pirates.
- The Isle of Abandonment: The Aepistelle Chronicles, #2
2
She once saved a kingdom with her friends. Now she must do it alone. The nefarious King Davin has escaped captivity, bent on covering up his atrocious misdeeds by declaring Gemma Calvertson and her friends enemies of the state. Gemma is unable to publish her manuscript about Aepistelle's true history, and her friends have problems of their own. Marzele loses faith in his god, driving him to join a cult that employs dark sorcery for vengeance. A new vision gives Denny insight into the location of his parents and their impending deaths, and Arnem insists on aiding the rescue mission with the Royal Mystic Committee in pursuit. When a vigilante journalist promises to help Gemma get her story out, she worries that this new companion can't be trusted. If she rejects him, Davin will resume his rule unopposed, and Gemma's family and friends will never be free. Gemma and her crew were strong together, but now their paths must diverge, and Gemma must put her life into this stranger's hands. From a prison break to a train heist, The Isle of Abandonment takes Gemma and her friends on their most difficult journeys yet. And this time, they don't have each other for support.
