Darrienia (Forgotten Legacies Book 1)
Fantasy
It is said that the past always returns to haunt you. Yet some forgotten pasts have whispered names and a debt for collection. Dangerous curiosities stir a hidden darkness, one that patiently waits to seize control. Within the layers of a divine game the boundaries of reality change. Ancient creatures once again resurface from their slumber, and beings which should dwell only within Darrienia threaten to pierce the veil to the waking world. Darkness has a way of masking that which would otherwise be seen, and the god Night, orchestrator of this peril, is a master of such distortion. Nothing is ever as it seems, especially when every action is gently influenced to unlock an unimaginable terror as he guides those chosen to his true ambition. Their actions rousing something far older, and more dangerous, than the threat they first perceived. Its awakening would herald the end and beginning of all. Will they discover the truth in time? Or will those who should be heroes, become nothing more than the pawns of evil? |

The Severaine (Forgotten Legacies Book 2)
Fantasy, Adventure, Fiction
Civilisations rise and fall leaving only dust and legend in their wake. Kingdoms were lost, and races forgotten. Across the countless span of time one threat rises, heralding the end of man’s rule, and laying to waste those who defiled its mistress. It is known as the Severaine, a power that in vengeance could bring even the Gods themselves to their knees. Each era overcame this peril so a new world could rise from the ashes of old. Lost within such wisdom could be the answers our heroes seek, a means to stop the threat before a new cycle is born. But legends can lie and history can be mistaken. There is another tale, a fable on the lips of few, it speaks of the means to force this power into submission, and there are those who would seek to bend this devastating might to their will. Creatures rise, guardians wake, and sometimes even the meddling hands of man can turn divine plans awry. The prophesies of old were reforged by death and whisper now a chilling truth. If this path continues unobstructed there is only one conclusion. The end of man and god alike. But there are some secrets that should never be uncovered and paths which mortals must fear to tread. When revenge knows no boundaries there are some bonds even death cannot destroy. Sample The Severaine |
Remedy (Forgotten Legacies Book 3)
Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Heroic Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, Action, Adventure
Before there were legends there was war. Before fables came twisted truth and distorted tales. Things deemed too dangerous were sealed, and bound for all eternity. Or so it was believed. Whispers from an ancient realm threaten the peace, drawing a lone adventurer into The Depths of Acheron. He seeks something from within this sealed domain, and those banished want something in return. Something belonging to them. There was a prophecy forged of rebirth and death. But knowing what is to come can change what will be. And there is one who seeks to do just that. He intends to use every tool at his disposal, every distraction and manipulation, to ensure the future will be his. The time has come for the forgotten to be unveiled, and for the sealed to be unbound. Only then will the world know true fear. Each book in The Forgotten Legacies series reads as stand alone.

The Dream Walker (Forgotten Legacies Book 4)
Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Heroic Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, Action, Adventure
All which had come to pass had led to this. Prophecies and events, manipulated through shadows, had paved the way for his return. Sacrifices bled, gateways opened, and now The Father of Nightmares was free at last. This time there would be no mistakes; no force with the power required to stand against him. The Mystics thought by sealing him within The Forest of The Epiales, they had weakened him, but instead they had given him the key to victory. Lost races, sealed powers, ancient Spirits. All must unite to prevent the darkness which is to come. Should they fail, should darkness fall and unleash its ancient gaolers, then all hope will be lost. |
