Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A restless wizard casts a spell, stars move ominously, and the story of Pelenor, the lost prince, begins. The old wizard had known for ages that real magic comes to those who first relish the magic of simple life. True wizards develop an extraordinary interest in the ordinary. But the old wizard wondered: what then does it mean to be interested? What power calls us and takes hold of us when we feel an interest? How does one feel more interested in the simplest of things? How does one listen to the nature of life? The wizard is led through dreams to the story of Pelenor, the unsteady, orphan voice in our hearts that cries for awakening, the forgotten prince. Abandoned by his father because he was inconvenient, living on the edge of a decaying kingdom, he is forced to flee when civil war erupts. Replete with magic, swashbuckling, and questions about the purpose of being, the story follows Pelenor's vagabond journey as he seeks for awakening.

Book excerpt: A gripping Arthurian adventure of clashing swords and hearts, perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Judith Tarr. King Arthur lies dead, struck down along with Mordred, his son and heir, and the greatest knights of Camelot. Of that peerless company, only Lancelot survives, a broken man who has turned his back on Britain and his forbidden love of Guinevere. Yet one knight, scarcely more than a boy, fights amid the ruins to keep Arthur’s dream alive: Galahad, the son of Lancelot. Before his death, Arthur swore the young knight to undertake a quest: a search for the scattered treasures of an ancient king. On the recovery of these powerful relics – a grail, a spear, and a sword – hinges the future of Britain. But it is the past that torments Galahad. He cannot forget or forgive his father’s betrayal of his king. Nor can he banish thoughts of the intoxicating Dandrane, sister of his friend Percival, from his mind. But can he set all this aside in order to complete his sacred task? Weaving back and forth through time, from Arthur’s mighty reign to Galahad’s ultimate quest to preserve the destiny of a nation, The Grail Prince is an unforgettable epic of adventure and romance.

When we return home, we discover our parents are missing, our people have scattered, and every faction hunts the Knight twins. Some are obsessed with claiming our formidable power for themselves. Others simply want us dead. Still, I can’t believe we’re home for less than a day when I end up as Winter Court’s prisoner in Faery. And it only gets worse from there.
