The Winter's Dance
COLD WINDS BLOW as winter comes, and the tundra of Empea calls to Raealyn as she and Persius head for the cavern in her dreams. Their journey is a symptom of the coming darkness, and even as their fellowship sets outs, growing tensions between rulers threaten to send the country into civil war.
Edrik stands at the heart, dealing with the fallout of the queen’s decisions. With his loyalty torn, he struggles between protecting the present he knows or aiding Eleonora. From Elventrind, where Bianca studies the art of Healing, to Sorn, where the cylen queen rules, banners raise to uphold Armea’s unity.
Known to few, another war looms on the horizon, and Anastasia is among those at its forefront. In the desolate future, she refines her abilities to prevent the coming apocalypse while growing the bonds she has forged.
South, where it is said the apocalypse will originate, Emma and Daniel gather armies of their own to march on New Ortaga and claim its vacant throne. Their forces are destined to collide, and the outcome of that battle will shape the course of what is to come. In the third book of The Armean Journals, loyalties are tested, soldiers fall, and the end begins.

The Stranger's Orphan
NEARLY TWENTY YEARS HAVE PASSED since the end of the devastating war between dragons and man. Following this conflict, the country of Armea has stabilized. However, when the city of Sorranon falls to flame and fury, panic begins to grow anew.
In the West, on a quiet farm, Anastasia Daren faces a decision. Torn between home and vengeance, she forges a new path, unfamiliar and exciting.
In the eastern capital, Edrik Greywine, guard to the king, is confronted by strangers claiming to hail from an apocalyptic future. Differing ideals brew trouble for both king and country as other threats rise.
And finally, across the Divide, Emmeryn Aylia is surrounded by danger. A young thief, she seeks freedom from her desolate home and the conflict brewing within.
As panic spreads, hope of survival, for both Armea and the world, unfolds across six stories and rests on the shoulders of one orphaned girl. The fifth anniversary edition of “The Stranger’s Orphan” includes a revised map of the world as well as ten original illustrations of the story and characters of The Armean Journals.
A NEW DAWN RISES in the wake of King Edgar Visenalia’s suicide. In his place sits a regent whose past is shrouded in secrecy. Her name, Eleonora, is spoken by lords and peasants alike with suspicion, and many remain skeptical of her reign. This division fosters cracks in the nation, allowing other threats to grow.
The Sviyali, the people of the desert, have been given a new leader. Chosen by their god and welcomed by their king, he is their Prince, whether they want him or not.
In the Chapel of the Divine, a Priestess, devoted to her faith, suffers from haunting visions of an icy tundra that plague her sleep. Living in the eastern capital, she is a witness to the disarray that their new queen brings.
Across oceans and continents, the Knight heeds the orders of his own regent. He is tasked with finding the lost heir of Tagar and bringing him home, but his mission does not end there.
In the sequel to “The Stranger’s Orphan”, these three join Anastasia, Edrik, Emma, Bianca, and Persius in shaping the future of their world. All the while, Eleonora’s rule could prove disastrous for a nation looming on the brink of war. Her actions might bring about an era of peace… or one of chaos.
