Cover for The Edge of Darkness

They called him the Volatar. He came from nothing. Found his power. Became a legend, then lost it all. Now he has all the power in the world but can't touch it. With war growing, an old enemy on his heels, his best friend by his side, only the north holds the secret to reconnecting with his lost power. But war has a way of pushing old heroes aside. Hevith Alaster knew nothing of the Hith when their dark magic took his family away. Life on the wagon train had been simple. Keep moving north, stay ahead of the war. But war found him all the same. Hurt, humbled, and left to rot in a northern prison, Hevith must carve out a new life for himself in the wake of tragedy--but only if he can find a way to break free before the Hith break him. Either he must rise to the challenge or he will be yet another casualty on the Hith's path to total domination.

Cover for A Power Awakened

The Great Powers must awaken or all will be lost. With power restored, and a tenuous balance now formed with his powers, the Volatar's work is not yet done. The Jahor have suffered considerable losses, but they now have a place to prepare. With strange attacks targeting his people, the Volatar knows it won't be long before the Trilan finds them and destroys the Jahor for good. Hevith leads his people north. Now a wagon master, he must find the place of safety promised to him, but the safety of the north isn't what he'd been led to believe. An encounter with the Hith gives Hevith a new target and a new goal. If he fails, not only the people with him will suffer, but all of the Jahor will fall.

Cover for The Bonds of War

War breaks old bonds while new ones form. The threat of the mysterious creatures that can drain different types of magic sends the Volatar and his friends on a mission to uncover answers from the tu'alan, but the last time he had visited them, they had refused to get involved. Finding answers poses a danger, and it involves him mastering his control over the great powers he possesses - or lose them altogether. With the coming threat, he begins to question if his new understanding of his magic will even be enough. After an attack on the wagon caravan making its way north with the Jahor, Hevith chases an old foe for answers. What he uncovers will change the complexion of his purpose, but he must have the fortitude to make the difficult choices to protect his people. War with the Hith is coming, and he must be ready.

Cover for The Raging Tide

The tide of war begins to turn, though all might be washed away. Hevith begins his initial assault and as the fighting brings him south, he calls to the Jahor, building his numbers. When he discovers a place where the Jahor have gathered, he finds those he'd thought lost and realizes the Jahor have known the dangers of the Hith far longer than he'd imagined. For him to end the fighting, he will have to unify his people, but that means hurting those he cares most about. While the Volatar searches for the tu'alan to understand the war he's waged since he was young, he finds a new challenge but thinks he might finally have a way to end the war for good. Chasing down answers leads him to new questions—along with a realization that even the tu'alan might have been wrong all along. How can he stop a war when he doesn't even know how to find those responsible for starting it?
