No one believes she deserves to be a rider. Except for him. But he may be her greatest threat of all. 

Zaydah has dreamed her whole life of becoming a rider of the creatures in the sky. In a kingdom always at war, there’s no greater honor than joining their ranks. She and her best friend, Brev, have trained every day for the last ten years to earn their place and follow in their fathers’ footsteps.

In the Black Mountains, where the military sprawls over its hilltop base, not everyone remembers their fathers as heroes. The king has forbidden their last names to be spoken aloud. Enemies won’t forget the wrongs of decades past.

Zaydah and Brev vow to watch each other’s backs and do whatever they can to succeed. They’ve always been an unstoppable team, and neither of them can trust anyone.

But secrets thrive in the Black Mountains. Nothing can prepare Zaydah for what she’ll uncover, and everything could tear her and Brev apart, most of all, the prince and his unusual interest in Zaydah.

“Highly recommend for anyone who likes Pirates of the Caribbean with a bit more magic mixed in!”

Known as an adventurer on the seas, Shawn Carcerian has always been one slice away from the life of a pirate. As a breathless, he can swim without the need for air. Others of his people possess this same strength, but no one else can dive quite like Shawn or dismantle a ship from its keel single-handedly.

He’s developed a reputation across the seas, and every merchant and pirate knows he’s not a man to double cross.

But in one way, he’s never been a scoundrel. One woman has held his love for years. She’s his home port and the song that keeps him sailing back to the islands where he grew up. And finally, he’s asking her to marry him. He’ll do whatever he can to build a life with her, even if that means spending more time on shore.

A few hours before he proposes, Eloise comes to him with devastating news. She’s dying of a rare sickness of the lungs that only breathless can develop. Her mother died of the same disease.

Shawn’s coming journey to explore the Southern Seas with hurricanes and masses of pirates just developed a far more important and personal motivation. He’s going to find a way to cure her, whether with the unusual jewels of an island in the south or through the medicines of an emperor.

Shawn will do whatever it takes to save the love of his life, and he won’t spare one moment away from her, not when her days are numbered. He and a circle of old friends embark on a new journey, one that lures storms and dives deep without a need for breath under the seas.

A whole new world awaits them.

A tropical island cozy fantasy.

Can you love someone you only see once a year?

Shawn Carcerian is building a name for himself as the most famous captain of the Trysanthem Isles. But he has an old reputation as a heartbreaker that precedes every visit home.

That’s never mattered to him until the day he meets Eloise and steals a kiss that he doesn’t want to be their last.

Join them on their islands, away from the adventures on the high seas, and find out what happens every year when Shawn comes home.

The Breathless works both as a prequel to The Legendaries Series, but also as a standalone cozy fantasy.

The raiders came, they took her father, and they left her for dead.

In the heart of the Northlands, the Varg is the greatest warrior of his clan. His daughter, Valaria, has trained all her life to follow in his footsteps.

The morning after her initiation as a warrior, an enemy clan ambushes the Varg’s hunting party and leaves Valaria unconscious. When she wakes, her father has disappeared. 
When the clan refuses to send men after the Varg, believing him dead or soon to be, Valaria leaves on her own. He’s alive, and she will not rest until she rescues the father who gave her everything, no matter the cost.

The warriors who captured him won’t be easy foes, most of all Culland Jarlsorn, the son of the enemy warlord. Rumors say he is better with a sword than even the Varg.

But during her mission, Valaria discovers a new force beyond the clans that threatens them all. 

Valaria must unite the clans. If she fails, their way of life will die.

None of the clans will heed the call to unite. Old enemies are hard to form into allies, and Valaria, caught in the middle, is honor-bound to uphold her oath to two rival clans. Navigating politics has never been her strength. She’d rather wield an axe and have it all done with.

And uniting the clans feels impossible when Valaria can barely find her place among her own people. Opposition comes from all sides. The worst are the leaders who never wanted a female warrior in the first place and believe she’s more trouble than she’s worth.

When they meet again, Culland is the ally she needs, but his father is the greatest threat to her task. No one can trust Grannd, who’s more power-hungry than all the clans put together.

But the Hundar attacks are far from over. It’s only a matter of time before full war is waged. The clans have little time to prepare. They must either unite or face the Hundar alone, an impossible feat.

The solution is far from what Valaria would conceive on her own. But she and Culland may be the union that could bring them all together.

The Hundar are coming. War and destruction will follow.

Valaria and Culland have little time to train a new army, and the Hundar could arrive any day. But the clans are blind without scouts reporting. No one has heard from them in weeks. They could all be dead, killed off by the Hundar, and the clans refuse to send anyone else.

The clan leaders don’t feel the same urgency to track the Hundar as Valaria. But they aren’t leading the united army, which must be ready wherever the Hundar attack.

Valaria is tired of waiting. That’s when she decides to take matters into her own hands and scout the Hundar herself. But she doesn’t go alone. Culland will risk his life to go with her.

The knowledge they find is enough to set their world on fire. War with the Hundar will do exactly that.

The Hundar are coming.

Jane Austen meets The Jungle Book in the midst of a colonial rebellion. 

Jundi is a land of mystery and wonder. Deep in the jungle, legends of the White Tiger swirl. Some say he is a beast who rules the other animals. Others claim he symbolizes the rebels who refuse to come under colonial rule.

Gillian has lived in a colonial villa on the edge of the jungle her entire life. She has never known another home beyond the land of Jundi. When her mother decides to leave because of the stirring rebellion, Gillian will return through the only means that she can find, marriage to an officer in the military.

Max, burned by love in the past, will only consider marriage if it enhances his military career. When the old colonel’s daughter shows interest, he will gladly secure Gillian as a means to further his chance of promotion. But he doesn’t expect his heart to become entangled with his ambition.

Gillian seals her future in Jundi, but even that will not be enough to answer the call of the White Tiger within the jungle’s beating heart.

Will Gillian’s and Max’s paths align, or will the rebellion tear their lives apart?
