Honour Has A Cost
​
Power is a tool. It is a weapon and a shield.
It is also an illusion.
​
The Host has kept the peace between nations for a thousand years. General Thelia Ostani has the respect and loyalty of all ten thousand of her soldiers and takes pride in limiting the blood cost of human ambition. When a weak king invokes ancient law and transforms the Host into a hostile invader, Thelia must fight to retain control of her army and find a way to save uncountable lives, including her own.
​
Sergeant Primin Weil has been running covert operations for her kingdom for years, keeping her people safe by putting her team in harm’s way. When an unbeatable army is set to invade, she must undertake the mission that could save her kingdom, despite being saddled with untrustworthy allies and incomplete information.
​
Questions swirl, betrayal threatens at every step, and success may require the compromise of deeply held beliefs. When failure means catastrophe, how much is your honour worth?

The Hunt (complete)
​
A moment of serendipity sees Olsen dispatched for the city of Adar to begin his apprenticeship as a merchant. Escaping his claustrophobic village is finally a reality, but when he is kidnapped by a cohort of paid thugs he is caught in a lethal conspiracy.
As it turns out, the King has been assassinated and there is concern about the succession. While Olsen is mistaken for a possible illegitimate heir, other powerful individuals connected to the palace begin to move, some to secure more power and others just trying to survive.
Underneath it all is the magic. Rare, secret and powerful. How much is myth and how much is real?
A really good political intrigue fantasy.
