Ammey McKeaf

by Jane Shoup

Published 1 August 2012
At nineteen, Ammey McKeaf is a golden-haired beauty that is beloved and protected, not only by her father, the most revered General in Azulland, but also by five elder brothers, all champions of the games that are held in the medieval island country. Her brothers have trained and challenged her all of her life, especially at swordsmanship, which will serve her well.

Trouble stirs when Marko Corin, the ambitious leader of Bellux-Abry, seeks to gain control of the country. His small bands of highly trained soldiers, known as 'wolf packs,' roam the country, reaping destruction and death. When a pack strikes close to the Forge, home to the McKeafs, Ammey is escorted to sanctuary—but sanctuary is a thing of the past.

As violence reigns, Ammey is rescued and taken into the mystical Vihlae Forest, where she discovers strength she did not know she possessed, and learns the art of survival from one of her rescuers, sparking an undeniable passion. As Ammey travels from one end of Azulland to the other, battling to survive and protect those around her, she will be tried and tested beyond anything she could have imagined, but will her efforts be enough to save herself and those she loves?

Heirs to the Throne

by Jane Shoup

Published 11 May 2012
More than one man in Azulland craves the ultimate prize-control of the fifteenth century island country. Nafino Zephyr, hand to the king of Bellux-Abry, is willing to sell his soul to get it. Denyson Folworth, heir to the throne of Qaddys, is willing to execute anyone who stands in his way, even his own father.

After months of bloody warfare, a respite is desired by all, especially Ammey McKeaf, daughter of the country's greatest general. Exhausted by the civil unrest of the previous year, Ammey craves normalcy and peace, but a king and a famed hero-assassin both vie for her heart-a heart that is torn between them. There is no time to rest and recover. The life of everyone Ammey loves is in mortal danger.

Into Shadow

by Jane Shoup

Published 2 April 2013
How many lives can be destroyed by one man's quest for revenge? A good number, when that man is power-hungry, self-proclaimed king Denyson Folworth. As suspicion mounts that he had his father murdered, circumstances change, control slips, and pressure builds. Folworth, who knows he must change public perception in order to remain in control, will stop at nothing to eliminate his adversaries, especially the renowned assassins known as Forzenay's Five. Forzenay and the others have no intention of allowing Folworth to dictate their paths, but that becomes increasingly difficult as their identities are exposed and a campaign of vicious propaganda gains momentum. Drastic change seems mandated, and difficult choices become the order of the day, but in a deadly game of vengeance, not everyone can or will survive.
