DemonWars Series

"The battle against the hordes of evil reaches a fever pitch as Elbryan the Nightbird, warrioress Pony and elven Juraviel go head-to-head with the armies of the towering fomorian giant general Maiyer Dek and bloody-capped powrie general Kos-Kosio Begulne . Within their own ranks, Elbryan finds himself at odds with the champion of Caer Tinella, Roger Lockless, a struggle of wills that leads to combat by sword. And Father Abbot Markwart, aided by Brother Francis and two deadly new Brothers Justice, begins a campaign of torture and terror in his search for the stolen sacred stones of Pimaninicuit."

After an eon of dormancy, the hideous winged demon Dactyl awakens and calls forth an army of darkness to bring horror and devastation to the land of Corona. The only survivors of the ravaged village of Dundalis, young friends Elbryan Wyndon and Jilseponie Ault, are separated in the carnage and, unknown to each other, struggle through lives that will lead to a shared destiny. Avelyn Desbris, a pious young monk, also finds himself on a course that will intersect with the fates of Elbryan and Jilseponie and lead to a fateful confrontation with the monstrous dactyl.

The Demon Dactyl’s army is laying waste to the entire country and the only way to stop their organized takeover is to cut off the root of their army’s vast power: Bestesbulzibar, the Dactyl, himself. Elbryan, Pony, the Mad Monk Avelyn and Bradwarden the centaur, reunited with the elven Juraviel and Tuntun, set out to do battle inside the demon’s lair: Mount Aida.

After an eon of dormancy, the hideous winged demon Dactyl awakens and calls forth an army of darkness to bring horror and devastation to the land of Corona. The only survivors of the ravaged village of Dundalis, young friends Elbryan Wyndon and Jilseponie Ault, are separated in the carnage and, unknown to each other, struggle through lives that will lead to a shared destiny. Avelyn Desbris, a pious young monk, also finds himself on a course that will intersect with the fates of Elbryan and Jilseponie and lead to a fateful confrontation with the monstrous dactyl.

Elbryan and Pony—soul mates from childhood who grew even closer over time—fervently hope that the tide of darkness is at last receding from the land of Corona. Yet if evil is on the retreat, why are hordes of goblins and bloody-capped powries slashing their way ever-deeper into civilized lands? A sinister threat now looms over Corona, for the power of the demon dactyl was not entirely vanquished by the sacrifice of the monk Avelyn Desbris. Instead, its darkness has infiltrated the most sacred of places—as a once-admired spiritual leader rededicates his life to the most vicious, most insidious revenge against the forces of good. There may be no stopping the spread of the malignant evil...

"Under the leadership of the sadistic Bishop De'Unerro, the Abellican church begins a stranglehold on the city of Palmaris, confiscating all magical artifacts and harassing the dark-skinned Behrenese merchant class. This reign of intimidation is not lost on King Danube Brock Ursal and an historic meeting in Palmaris is arranged between the King and the Dalebert Markwart, Abbot of the Church. But there is an assassin lurking in the shadows and she could determine the fate not just of a leader, but of a nation.... Meanwhile, Elbryan Wynden, accompanied by elves, Bradwarden the Centaur and Roger Lockless, finds himself on the road once more to the distant Barbacan, former home of the Demon Dactyl. Little does he know that on his trail is none other than De'Unerro himself, possessor of the Tiger's Paw..."

"The specter of civil war haunts a ravaged land. And a specter even more fearsome gains power; for the demon, though defeated, was not destroyed. And now its vengeful spirit has found an unholy sanctuary at the very heart of the Abellican Church. As the elf-trained ranger Elbryan Wynden presses north to reclaim the savage Timberlands from retreating goblin hordes and his companion, Pony, mistress of gemstone magic, turns south to the civilized—but no less perilous—streets of Palmaris, they find themselves caught up in a ruthless power struggle to decide the fate of all Corona. A struggle that will push their courage and love to the breaking point...and beyond. Condemned as heretics, the two heroes are hunted by dangerous enemies. The leader of the Church boasts a mastery of gemstone magic that rivals Pony's proven might. And the Abbot's right hand, the Bishop of Palmaris, has claws so sharply honed by hate and magic that no man—or ranger—can withstand their killing stroke. Then an unexpected twist of fate forces Pony to make a harrowing choice, one that may doom the world to demonic domination."

Abellican Church leader Father Abbott Dalebert Markwart tightens his sinister grip with the aide of the deadly Brothers Justice and his treacherous compatriot Abbott De'Unnero. Markwart's venemous reach extends to Pony's own adopted family, as well as the centaur Bradwarden and the goodly Master Jojonah. As the war against the Demon Dactyl's minions winds down, the battle for the hearts and minds of the kingdom of Corona escalates and Nightbird, the elven Juraviel and Elbryan's other allies will all be affected.

"Elbryan, Bradwarden the Centaur, Roger Lockless and the renegade Abellican Monks arrive at the Barbacan, resting place of the defeated demon dactyl and his nemesis, Avelyn Desbris. And that wasteland will once again run red with blood in a cataclysmic battle. The showdown between Nightbird and the weretiger De'Unnero draws nigh and Jilseponie makes her final move to avenge the death of her parents at the hands of Father Abbot Dalebert Markwart."

"Years have passed since the great miracle atop Mount Aida—a miracle known as the Covenant of Avelyn. Corona is a different place. Avelyn is about to be elevated to sainthood by the very church that once proclaimed him a heretic. And King Danube has asked Jilseponie Wyndon—the outlaw hero of the Demon War—to become his queen. Jilseponie can never love any man as completely as she did the Ranger Elbryan, the father of the child she lost. But she cannot deny that she has feelings for the wise and kindly king. Yet danger looms. For the child that she lost never died--as she believes—but was stolen away by the queen of the elves. Raised in secret by the queen, he has grown to be a headstrong boy who shows every promise of being as skilled in the arts of combat as his father before him and as powerful with the gemstone magic as his mother. They call him Aydrian. Aydrian: a boy raised to be a weapon. A boy on a collision course with destiny."

"The long struggle is over at last. The demon dactyl is no more, its dark sorceries shattered by the gemstone magic wielded by the woman known as Pony. But victory has not come easily. Many lives were lost, including Pony’s lover, the elf-trained ranger Elbryan Wynden. Despite the dactyl’s demise, the kingdom still seethes in the same cauldron of plots and machinations. But when a deadly sickness suddenly appears among the people of Corona, Pony must undertake a pilgrimage that will test her powers–and her faith–as never before. Watching her every step of the way is the man she hates above all else: Marcalo De’Unnero, the villain responsible for Elbryan’s death... who would desire nothing more than to lead Pony down that same treacherous path to destruction."

"The wheels are in motion to begin the selection process to determine the new Father Abbot for the Abellican Church. Prince Midalis and Bruinhelde travel with the Ranger Andacanavar to seal their blood-brothering by confronting the monstrous Shaggoth. The Rosy Plague tightens its grip across the land and Marcalo De'Unnero uses the potent mixture of fear and panic it produces to further the agenda of his newly-formed Brothers Repentant. And in Andur'blough Inninness, Juraviel begins the tutelage of a new Ranger...."

The Rosy Plague has swept the land - even Ranger Andacanavar's far-off country of Alpinador has seen its blight- and it may only be a matter of time before the elven Touel'Alfar themselves fall to the deadly disease. Rioting sweeps the cities, instigated by Marcalo De'Unnero's Brothers Repentant and abetted by Duke Tetrafel's own Allheart Brigade. Can Jilseponie Wyndon find a way to conquer both the madness of men and the biological devastation of nature?
