The first installment of a new trilogy arrives May 30th

Magon Dross graduated his mage school, the Tower, with flying colors. Then his old schoolmaster burned his runebook and stole his magic. Now the Tower wants him dead.
 
To spare himself, his family, and his people from danger, Magon must find help and answers. His country is on the brink of war, and a school of rogue mages could topple everything.
 
Powerless and on the run, he'll find help through his childhood friend, his estranged sister, a tribal exile, a violent priest, and the daughter of King Terrus, Freytilia's most hated man. This makes for a precarious alliance, but it must hold. 

The Tower's pursuit spreads collateral damage, and as war approaches, it grows apparent that if the Tower isn't stopped, every country will fall. 

The Low Country Trilogy is Finished!

"The Best Indie Book of 2023" (according to Matteo of @matfromthebooks) now has its own COMPLETED trilogy!

Low Country is a land of bandits, mages, and monsters. It's a place where legacies die and legends are buried.

It's no place for a fresh start...which is exactly why Sharla stayed. She's tired of running. This is her home, and she'll fight for it.

She'll face monsters from her past and demons of her soul, but that's nothing new. The hard part will be finding some help. Perhaps she could try a local drug cartel or a crew of outlaws. In any case, it's best to keep things simple. In Low Country, more allies only heighten the chance of a future knife between the ribs.
