The SCIONS & SHADOWS Series

IN AHNLISEN, OLD GODS PLOT REVENGE on those that displaced them, hidden cities hold ancient secrets, kings and priests vie for control of powerful relics, forgotten realms rise from ashes, spies and assassins of murky loyalties operate from the shadows, rebels and revolutionaries covertly arm themselves for discord, and oracles and scryers predict the rebirth of fallen immortals.

The world of SCIONS AND SHADOWS is one of magic and intrigue, spanning centuries of political conspiracies, divine machinations and conflicts of ethics, morality, and conscience. Swords and spells clash chaotically, forcing people to decide between what they want, and what is right.

SCIONS AND SHADOWS is a series of novels and novellas that share the same universe. There is an overarching plot, but each book can be read as a stand-alone and in any order. They are listed below in chronological order.

Stars & Soil

Nominated in the Queer Indie Awards 2023 for: Best Overall Fantasy, Best Epic Fantasy, Best Dark Fantasy, and Best Supporting Character

Caitlin's life takes a dark turn after a gruesome murder entwines her with fate and magic. Unintentionally caught an anti-monarchy riot, she joins revolutionaries aiming for justice beyond social divides. But unwanted attention from a spoiled prince then immerses her in a world of political intrigue and secretive religious orders. In this unexpected journey, Caitlin must navigate the maelstrom and confront the powers that shape the kingdom's destiny from the shadows.

Stars and Soil is the first novel in the Scions and Shadows series and is perfect for those who like their fantasy full of court gossip, political intrigue, shifting alliances, deep worldbuilding, backstabbing, betrayal, and sapphic and disability representation. Fans of Seth Dickinson's The Traitor Baru Cormorant and Tessa Gratton's The Queens of Innis Lear will feel right at home in this magical, queer-normative world.

Scorched Scars

When Kegan escaped the poachers that had hunted their clan and turned their village to ruins, they thought that they could find safety away from the verdant forests of their home and in the bustle of the capital city. But years later, it seems like the hunters have taken up the chase once again. Now a member of the rebellion forces, Kegan must go back to the woods they were born in, not to visit the graves of their family or to stalk the returning poachers, but to find a lost comrade and and determine what happened to the rebellion's missing spy. But time is not on Kegan's side as the poachers creep up on them from behind and the King's Sheild closes in on them from the front.

Will Kegan heal the long festering scars of their past or will their fears lead to the downfall of the entire revolutionary movement? SCORCHED SCARS is set during the events of STARS AND SOIL but can be read in any order.
