Crimson Prophecy is a epic fantasy trilogy centered around Enara and her friends as they work to build a better life in Qetra.

Qetran Odyssey

Crimson Prophecy Book I

Fleeing from the soldiers razing her peaceful elvish neighborhood and imprisoning her neighbors, fifteen-year-old Enara stumbles into an ancient quest. Magic has gone missing, and only the prophesied hero can bring it back.

Haunted by dark and alarming visions, Enara is forced to partner with an unlikely crew, including a Minotaur and an enigmatic elven ranger, in order to save the elves, and the entire world, from destruction by a mysterious genocidal army that has cursed half a continent.

Achieving her destiny will force her to find her inner strength, but could mean sacrificing everything she’s ever loved.

Qetran Revival

Crimson Prophecy Book II

Mere days after her coronation, Enara, Rider of the Storm Wind, Warmage of Restoration, Shield Maiden, the last daughter of Caedar, and High Queen of Sevanl faces the first challenges of her reign.

Unrest is brewing in Qetra. Camps of armed soldiers are found on the fringes of Sevandil, dissent sparks in her inner circle, and rumors of her predecessor’s evil deeds are spreading.

In an attempt to atone for past crimes and garner favor with the new queen, Tiarsus, her former enemy, comes forward with new and troubling information. The curse that was used to cast the unsuspecting people of Qetra into magical sleep cannot sustain itself forever. If the magic is allowed to expire, the people will die.

Enara and Tiarsus, the former commander of the defeated Black Army, embark on a quest to learn the terrible truth. Several days’ journey from home, they stumble into a city filled with corpses and narrowly escape an encounter with a mysterious mage able to wield powers that shouldn’t exist, but soon find that they are being hunted.

Armed with the knowledge that time is running out, Enara must learn who to trust as she and her friends race to lift the curse before all of Qetra meets a grisly fate.

Berylis

Separated from her tribe and family, sold into slavery, and mistreated, fourteen-year-old Berylis exits alone in a city of thousands. If that means stealing in order to eat, where’s the harm in that? The aristocrats that she targets will hardly miss a few measly coins. She only takes what she needs.

That was, until her fence leaked information on what could be the take of a lifetime–the taxes of every merchant in the central market. Lightly guarded and openly transported, it seems too easy to ignore.

But nothing has ever been easy for Berylis, and nothing that seems easy actually is. Relentlessly pursued, she soon finds herself to be a fugitive, wanted not only for theft but for murder.

It seems that nothing could go worse when a mysterious wizard enters her life with an offer that makes her rich beyond imagining and sets her life on a completely new course.
A course that will test her resolve and her principles.
