The Children of Man Series

Growing up during the chaos of the Nabosian War, Faela Durante and her entire generation never knew what it meant to live in a time of peace. Though the war ended years ago, the devastation has not. Every decision, no matter how seemingly insignificant, has a consequence and some consequences can never be predicted. But some are foretold. Less than a year ago, Faela, the first Tereskan mind healer in generations, disappeared from her family home in Finalaran scared and pregnant. Hunted and living as an outcast, Faela searches for a legend that might be her only hope of gaining atonement and returning to her son. When her journey collides with two strangers and a prophecy, she must choose between trusting those around her or accomplishing her mission. Haunted by her past, the consequences of Faela's choices will endanger more than her own fate

Just when Faela Durante dared to hope that her mission of atonement might succeed, it all shattered with the senseless massacre of the Tereskan healers in Kilrood. None survived the slaughter, not even her son. With her mentor, Ianos Wilkerson, missing and presumed dead, Faela and her new allies must heed Rivka’s dying prophecy in order to stand against the coming darkness. But old allies have turned into bitter enemies, and the darkness is spreading. Will Faela rediscover her path before it’s too late, or will her desire for revenge lead to her end?

Caleb Murphy is coming to the end of his first circuit as an avowed Daniyelan, and it can't end soon enough. Arbitrating judgments for horse breeders in Isfaridesh can't compare to his journeymen circuit riding the disputed Nabosian border, and his partner, Gisa Protz, can't stand him. His thoughts are with his troubled sister Ella as he arrives in the small town of Keman, but what awaits him in a luthier's shop will change his life forever. "The Luthier of Keman" is a short story that takes place twenty years before Shatter (The Children of Man, #1).

Kade Hawthorn was eight years old when the Nabosian War began. Kade is fifteen now, and the war is far from over. For the last three years, he has worked as a Tereskan battlefield healer. Wounded at the front, Kade is sent back to his hometown of Finfossing on forced leave, along with his partner Sheridan Reid. During their last night home, Kade's younger brother Liam takes them to explore the nearby ruins. Amid the ruins, Kade finds more than just the past.

After the Tereskan massacre and the death of her son, Faela Durante thought she had nothing left to lose. Then she nearly died at her husband’s hands because of her need for vengeance. She survived, but at what cost? Battered and bruised, Faela, along with Kade Hawthorn and Jair Rafferty, must now do the impossible. They must resurrect light magic, destroyed millennia ago in the Shattering, while the consequences of Faela’s mistake ripple across the world. Will they learn to work together in time? Or will Faela lose everything she’s gained?
