United to kill the oppressor. Frenc swords and mages.

The beginning ~ Summer Sieges

For years, Beren has defended Caldew Keep. Then the Watrani horde, allied with the Gitane Witches, attacked southern Mullen and besieged the Keep. They seek the Eye, a crystal that increases a mage’s power hundredfold.

Beren and a chosen few must take the Eye to safety. Yet dangers come not only from the blood-thirsty Gitane and Watrani and the monsters of the Shadow Path. A traitor journeys with them, and not even a magical encounter with an enchanted man can defend them

And Beren discovers that the road of honor is littered with death.

A Green mage encounters a keep swordsman while helping a captive red wolf, one of the legendary Prica. While drawn together, Saisha returns to her forest tower. Hethan returns to Senric Keep ~ where he falls under a spell cast by the sorcerous dame Neehla. 

The dame’s dark spells bring them back together.  Can Saisha disentangle Hethan from the sorcery?  Or will she be trapped and turned into a wraith while the dark dame inhabits her body?

Winter Sorcery ~ Book 3

The spies Rolf and Catal spent months in a Watrani garrison, hoping to discover OverLord Summa’s plans for his invasion of Frenc.  When their cover is blown, they stumble upon a greater secret:  the Kaerrefiorne, a blood-fed globe that will connect every sorcerous Gitane Witch across the vale of Sansward.  They steal the last orb that will complete the arc controlled by the Kaerrefiorne and escape into snow-smothered Arlas—with Watrani soldiers and a Gitane WitchMaster in close pursuit.

When Catal is severely wounded, two clerics at a Protectorate temple outpost become the Frenc spies only hope. The half-trained mage Niijai senses the evil following the two men. Legeeta has only a prophetic dread that increases.

And the Gitane Witch Keipven has found their trail.

The third Fantasy in an Alternate medieval World,

part of the Seasons in Sansward

Winter Sorcery

Book 3 in the Seasons in Sansward Quarternary

When a Gitane WitchMaster pursues two Frenc spies who stole a sphere of power, can a half-trained mage and a simple temple cleric help them escape?

Just as their cover is blown, the spies Rolf and Catal stumble upon a greater secret:  the Kaerrefiorne, a blood-fed globe that will connect every Gitane Witch.  They steal this orb that will complete the witches’ connection and escape into snow-smothered Arlas.

When Catal is severely wounded, two clerics at a Protectorate temple outpost become the Frenc spies only hope.  Legeeta and Niijai, a Green mage with unschooled powers, do not know they harbor Frenc spies.

Rolf takes the orb to the border to keep it safe from the pursuing Watrani.  He is not an hour from the temple when the troop arrives.

With the Watrani is Keipven, a WitchMaster.  He recognizes Niijai’s magic as a potent replacement for the orb.

If he can bend her power to his will, his own puissance increases.  If he can twist her to sorcery, the Gitane Witches become that much stronger against the Mages.  If he can neither control her nor twist her, then he will kill her.

Will Catal be discovered and killed as a spy?

Will Rolf stumble into the Watrani when he returns?

And will Niijai be destroyed by Keipven, alive and enslaved to his plans or bloody and dead on the snowy fields of Arlas?
