The Runed
4 primary works
Book 1
A WORLD TORN...
To be forgotten was inevitable, but to forget was not an option. A world once forged in fire and ice was now nothing more than violence carved from myth, but when a legend resurfaces and threatens the makeup of magic, time, and morality, a group of mages must act before their world crumbles to ruin.
A BOND TESTED...
Cateline, a since forgotten princess turned amateur mage, and Varin, a warrior with no fight to lead, must band together and choose between two sides. To believe in and fulfill a prophecy was heresy, and could cost them the world as they knew it, but to side with humanity and prevent a war of supernatural powers was an impossible task.
However passionately they may loathe each other, through their strife they find the line between hatred and love is thinner than they would have ever imagined.
AND A LIAR EXPOSED...
After surviving journeys of love, loss, and agony, this group of unlikely allies must decide the lesser of two evils and fulfill their promise. But, when a liar emerges, it pushes the boundaries of newfound love and resurrects dreadful rage that could turn the tides.
Book 2
Would you die for love?
A Realm Uncovered...
When enemies and unlikely allies crawl out of the darkest crevices of Denzethea, Varin and Cateline discover that history as they know is about to be turned on its side. Life, death, and war will forever have new meanings.
Blood for Blood...
As Cateline discovers how far her power can take her, the consequences of her own morality and sanity become a bigger issue than she could have ever hoped. Lies continue to blur the line between love and hate, and when a puppeteer strings the runed mages to a hidden tomb, their decision could test the boundaries that are already balanced on a thin string.
With death blossoming on the horizon, a sound mind becomes a fool's dream.
A Revival of Power...
Through blood, strife, and chaos, magic slithers across the lands in ways it never had before. It forms a divide between Cateline and the person she had come to love, and when it's time for her to face her decision, the aftermath serves to be more dire than she could have ever hoped for.
With war, there is loss. And with love woven in the mayhem of it all, well. . . all hope vanishes.
Book 3
A LAND FORGOTTEN...
Lost to a place long forgotten, Cateline must turn ash and soot into wealth and opportunity. The sun bleeds for no man while trapped in the wastelands of a fallen kingdom, and if she wants to make it out alive, she must master the things that terrify her.
ALLIANCES TESTED...
In darkness, there is hope. When Cateline is forced to work alongside the few people she'd ever consider an enemy, she finds that the divide between a friend and foe is as thin as love and hate.
Stuck with only her wits to guide her, she discovers that what she once thought to be evil could be the only thing keeping her alive.
A CROWN RESURRECTED...
When evil beckons, it brought forth creatures that should only exist in stories designed to scare children. Lost souls bow to a crown covered in the blood of the fallen whom each owe their life not to the king, but to the Queen of Death herself.
When Death requires a new reign, magic itself cowers at the sight of power.
Book 4
A BOND, BROKEN...
Separated from the woman he loves, Varin struggles to catch up with the speed of war, magic, and betrayal. A realm away from what he desires most, he must decide what is most important to him: sanity under the veil of love, or power under the veil of solitude.
ALLEGIANCES TURNED...
With the Firstborn resurrected, Varin forms an allegiance with old and new faces, rousing the alliances of powerful men all across Denzethea. When word of war bleeds red, he realizes he can't ignore his fate any longer.
A CROWN TAKEN
Eyes set on a crown that is not his, Varin fights against mortal men and women with magic that the world had not seen for over three-hundred years.
With power at his side, he will never have to sit idly by while those he loves most die.
But at what point does power turn to cruelty?
