The first three books are available as a bundle!

Wynter is a half-elf torn by his dark and mysterious past and his love for the elf maiden Arianna. As their travels lead them through the twilight world of Aria, a prophecy speaks of challenging the gods. While evil, once asleep, will test his love for Arianna and the world he lives in. With every turn, their challenges grow dark, and hope seems to dim as the oceans and skies themselves threaten to overwhelm Wynter and Arianna.

As the chains of darkness close quickly and traps are set, Wynter must prove that his love for Arianna is stronger than ever. With a global war on the horizon, and the elves retreating from the world, Wynter realizes the great balance has shifted, and good is close to becoming lost.

With magic that hasn’t been seen for centuries and love that will test the power of the gods, Wynter enlists the aid of others and welcomes a prophecy that he was fated to lead.

Book One

Wynter is a half-elven warrior haunted by his past and love for the beautiful elven priestess Arianna. He must fight through monsters and the red dragon Brimstone while confronting the demons of his past and the mystery of a dragon inscribed pendent to not only survive the day, but save Arianna from the evil that surrounds them. It will take his skill with the sword Dragon's Bane, his innate use of magic, and Arianna at his side to conquer the darkness that threatens to tear him apart. Only the love of Arianna can melt his frozen heart and save him.

Book Two

A half-elven warrior-mage must embrace the power within him and his love for a beautiful elf priestess before retrieving the ancient artifact called the Dragon Mask to unlock the secrets of his past and save the world from an evil so great, even the gods are threatened by its power.

As Wynter’s love for Arianna grows, so does the danger they both are in. While learning about the mysterious Dragon Pendant, he uncovers the relic known as the Dragon Mask, which is tied to the pendant and the sword Dragon’s Bane, that he carries. In the belief that it will help him understand how he is linked to these items as well as his past that he carries, Wynter and Arianna are swept up in a mysterious Dragon Cult. Their travels take them to the Kraag Mountains that hold the Dragon Mask.

On the way to retrieve the mask, Wynter’s love for Arianna and his sanity are challenged as he must face the great serpent the Hydrus, suffer terrifying visions of the future, and finally face the dark elven wizard Szordrin in a fight that will force Wynter to embrace his magic in ways he never has before. The only thing he knows for sure is that his love for the elven priestess Arianna will keep him from giving up, and keep the world and the gods from falling into darkness forever.

Book Three

A half-elven warrior must battle the growing darkness in the world of Aria with the love of an elven priestess as he embarks on a dangerous quest to enlist the aid of good dragons to save the world.

Wynter’s love for Arianna has grown stronger, and so has the danger. Wynter comes to realize that the Order of Draconis is much larger than he realizes. Hearing a distant and unfamiliar voice, and having stalled the Order’s plans, he finds their troubles are far from over. With imprisonment in the city of Eden a fear and the king under the control of a necromancer named Jal-eck Thar, Wynter realizes that he must flee the city and get to the Twilight Isles to enlist the help of the good dragons as the elves withdraw from the world and before war ravages the lands. Wynter and Arianna must prove that their love is strong enough to survive as the safety of the world hangs in the balance.

In a dying world at war, a warrior must reconcile prophecy with his heart to save the one he loves most of all.

The world of Aria is dying due to the evil that spreads upon its land. In the elven city of Elraiel, prophecy awakens Wynter to his true calling. Traveling to Eden in possession of the L’atha’anar, the Twilight Stone, he finds the land dying and a world at war. Knowing he must bring the elves back from hiding, Wynter and Arianna must battle hordes of dragons. An old enemy has returned to fight Wynter, and it will take all his power to defeat him. Only his love and bond with Arianna will give him the strength to sound the call to victory. As enemies clash, decisions are made that will alter the course of events. Time is short as the gods’ judgment approaches and must prove to them that love is enough to save the day.

Book Five

A warrior must conquer his heart to save his people and the world.

The world of Aria is dying. A casualty of a war between good and evil. The war against the Order of Draconis is coming to a close, but without the elves, a victory for good will be short lived.

Wynter, the prophesized Great Dragon, and Arianna, High Priestess of The Keeper, must search out and release the elves from the prison they were put in by Varania, Queen of the Fae. To do so, both must search their hearts and conquer the turmoil within if they hope to have any chance of defeating the ruler of Celeste and rescuing the elves from their imprisonment.

They must also prove their love as Varania has set her eyes on Wynter, and the fae are a cruel people used to getting their way. As the sun reaches its apex in the heavens, Wynter and Arianna must join hearts and power to defeat this evil and make sure there’s a world worth saving. In the end, only love can save them.
