Book 1
A ranger’s duty. The rotten heart of a king. Rebellion spilled from the blood of family.
Rew, the King’s Ranger, accepted a role on the far edge of the realm to avoid the morass of intrigue and betrayal that bleeds from the heart of the kingdom. His only desire is to shoulder the burden he’s taken, to protect the village of Eastwatch, and to monitor the wilderness beyond.
When three youths are arrested for petty theft in the village and beg for his help, Rew’s oldest friend insists he take responsibility for them. By ties stronger than steel, Rew is forced onto a path he knows leads to chaos and death. Through a resurgence of monsters summoned in ages prior, war between the royal line, and back-stabbing treachery, the King’s Ranger will battle to grant the youths a life he never had a chance of.
But as they venture farther from the wilderness he calls home, Rew can feel the magical pull at the center of the kingdom, demanding he return to face his past and his family’s terrible legacy. Only he knows the secret of the king, and the risk it poses to the entire realm.

Book 2
A ranger’s duty. The rotten heart of a king. Rebellion spilled from the blood of family.
Rew, the King’s Ranger, leads his young companions on a deadly journey to find their father. On a path that twists across the Eastern Territory, they fight toward the prison where Baron Fedgley is held. The party will face bandits, assassins, treacherous noblemen, spellcasters, and Rew’s fellow rangers to get there.
Raif and Cinda, desperate to recover their kidnapped father, will risk anything to find him. Raif, equipped with his family’s enchanted greatsword, but forced to acknowledge he’s not as strong or as skilled as he once believed, will charge into a world he’s never experienced. Cinda, awakened to strange and dangerous necromantic magic, will have to control vast power she never expected.
Confronted with the truth of his past, and terrible knowledge he cannot ignore, Rew will choose between hiding and saving his soul, or sacrificing it all to protect those he’s come to love. Will the ranger’s path take them into the wilderness and safety, or into the heart of the kingdom and an epic confrontation?

Having fled Spinesend following a calamitous encounter atop one of the city’s towers, Rew and his companions face a long journey across a dangerous land to the city of Carff, the seat of Prince Valchon. The treacherous spellcaster Alsayer fled there, along with Kallie Fedgley, but finding them without attracting the murderous gaze of the prince might be impossible.

Book 5
A ranger’s duty. The rotten heart of a king. Rebellion spilled from the blood of family.
Rew’s sorrow clings to him like a cape. He’s wrought death and destruction in his quest to defeat the princes, but the alternative is worse. The Mordens have ruled Vaeldon for centuries, and every generation collects its tithe in blood. It’s time for it to stop. It’s time to raise the banner, and march to the final battle.
Anne has felt Rew’s pain, and she finally understands why he’s kept her at bay. Cinda knows the grim price for victory, and that she must pay it. Raif and Zaine grasp for a life they can understand, but it is beyond them. The rangers are broken and scattered, hiding from the king they once served. All of them must come together behind the banner, or Vaeldon will be lost.
The king and his sons have twisted the people of Vaeldon into shadows of what they were. They’ve used nobles and common alike to feed their ravenous hunger for power. The rot in the kingdom begins at the throne, but it does not end there. Will Rew and his companions have the nerve to cut deep enough to remove the horror that has infected all of Vaeldon, or will their quest be for naught?
