A Thousand Years to Wait

by L. Ryan Storms

Published 19 March 2019

At eighteen, Moreina di Bianco is a young healer who believes in medicine, not magic, even while possessing a second sight she can't fully explain. So when the Faranzine Talisman chooses Reina to reawaken an ancient magic and end a war, she must reconcile her beliefs, unlock the talisman's secrets, and harness the magic within.

Reluctant to accept help, Reina agrees to allow two determined escorts to accompany her on her journey for truth, but each comes with a mysterious past of his own. Her estranged childhood friend, Quinn D'Arturio, left their village years ago and only recently returned, harboring dark secrets behind a solemn exterior. And despite his status as a perfect stranger, a dashing captain by the name of Niles Ingram is quick to fight by Reina's side at whatever the cost. That someone she's only just met would give his life for hers is a sobering realization of the ever-present danger Reina has jumped into.

There's just one problem with Reina's two companions. They, too, are featured in the talisman's prophecy--as potential suitors. But what woman wants a suitor, let alone two, when she's tasked with defeating a usurping general, ending a war, finding the true king, and rightfully seating him on the throne?

The Heart of Death

by L. Ryan Storms

Published 20 October 2020

What's dead is alive, what's alive is dead.

Now that the White Sorceress, Bringer of Life has been found, and the rightful King of Castilles restored to the throne, all that's left to do is live happily ever after...until another ominous prophecy disrupts the peace.

Rumors of undead things roaming the land and chaos tipping the world into darkness spur Reina and Quinn into another journey, but the new prophecy holds a nasty surprise. The two must travel to the Southern Plains with The One Who Failed, and that can only mean...Niles must join them.

They must locate the elusive Heart of Death and stop the Chaos Wielder from turning the world into the living dead, but combatting a deadly power stronger than anything they've ever known is no simple undertaking. To find the answers they need, they'll have to journey through dangerous, enchanted lands, make untold sacrifices, and retake control of the talisman's unexpectedly volatile magic.
