The Courtlight Series
When peasant girl Ciardis is chosen for a position at court, she travels across the empire to begin a new life. To survive, she’ll need to master intrigue, befriend a crown prince, and learn to control magical abilities she never knew existed.
Excerpt from the Courtlight Series:
When Inga finally
finished her meal a half-hour later, Ciardis was fairly bursting with questions.
She knew very little about frost giants but she did know the human mantra: They
were deadly, they were evil, and they were stupid. For a stupid, deadly, and
evil creature, Inga ate with a delicacy that rivaled that of most villagers.
Picking her teeth clean with a sharp bone and tearing bread neatly to soak up
the broth weren’t exactly high court manners, but her behavior certainly beat
the ravenous, bloodthirsty beasts Ciardis had always assumed a frost giant to
be.
And it wasn’t just Inga. The frost giant warriors
surrounding her ate, laughed, and sharpened their weapons just like a normal
group of soldiers. They also didn’t appear to be cannibals with sixty claws
like daggers on their hands. As she snuck glances around as she finished her
meal, Ciardis was flummoxed. She continued to search, but there was one thing
she didn’t see: frost giant men. Every single warrior in the encampment was
female. It wasn’t hard to tell with the skimpy leather and fur outfits they
wore; weapons weren’t the only things on display.
The Crown Service Series
As an unstoppable war breaks out between the mages of the Algardis Empire, young Sara Fairchild enlists in the empress’s army to find out exactly what everyone’s trying to hide. But there are secrets on both sides of the battle that will make her question everything…
Excerpt from the Crown Service Series:
Then the cloak fell. A man stood in
front of her. Ezekiel stood in front of him with a sharp knife held at his
throat. The man was gripping him tightly. Sara quickly spotted one other man
with his back turned to the three of them about six rows back.
“Nice trick,” she said. She
carefully took in the situation. She wondered if she was dealing with a mage,
but she didn’t think so. Her battle instincts told her she was dealing with a
normal man. Those instincts were almost never wrong. However, there was
something magical about him. Narrowing her eyes, she realized it was the
pendant around his neck. It was giving off an aura of old magic. She was
impressed.
Haven’t
seen one of those before, she thought.
