Featured Work
Orb and Arrow, Book I: ExplorationBooks II and III are also available.
An imprisoned mage, the daring archer who frees him.
Brillar was expected to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a healer but she had other plans. Now a highly skilled archer, she has been forced to kill to release a bound mage. It may have been self-defense, but that is no excuse for a healer.
Releasing such a skilled War mage from bondage could get you killed…or apprenticed. Always independent and headstrong, she nevertheless chooses the latter and she and Elden set out to right the wrong done to him.
Her decision to apprentice herself to Elden has set her further from the healer’s calling. Still, her healing spells serve them both well as they face the dangers of the world outside the settled lands. Their explorations will take them through lands held by the Rovers - lands that hold unpredictable perils – and then to a meeting with the Ǣlfain.
All seems well . . . but what seems can hide danger.
