Book One in the Legends of Anticuus seriesMagic is a powerful yet fleeting thing. Those blessed with its presence are given a choice: to do good for their fellow man or to be corrupted. Tobias has neither magic nor the pressure of its power and has lived a peaceful, secluded life because of this. That is, before he stumbles across the key to power: a spellbook. Desperate to unlock its secrets, he accepts it as the promise of something greater.Until the day a thief snatches the book out from under him. In an effort to get it back, Tobias is thrust out into the dangerous world beyond the comfort of his home. Dragons, secrets, and wild magic lurk around every corner he turns, and he has no hope of catching the thief on his own.In order to reclaim his book and safely return home, Tobias must learn to adapt to the shifting world outside. But as he is joined by others who volunteer to aid him in his search for the thief, he realizes there’s more to her than he thinks, and the spellbook is only the beginning.
Book Two in the Legends of Anticuus seriesMagic holds many mysteries—one being the fine line between life and death. Those who walk it pay the price with their souls, but the power they gain makes them fearsome foes.With the spellbook destroyed and their only lead on the dragonborn Aurum gone, Tobias and the others struggle to move forward. It’s only a matter of time before Aurum strikes again, but how can they hope to defeat such an ancient and powerful enemy?When a pair of young Dragon Riders appear with information about Aurum, Tobias and Eira make a deal with them: they will help unravel the mystery of the Shadowslayer, a ghost that may hold ties to the dragonborn, if the Dragon Riders will lend their power to kill Aurum.However, the Dragon Riders are not without their own share of secrets, and the lies they speak sow nothing but discord. If Tobias wishes to stop Aurum, he must make a choice: trust his allies despite their lies, or risk losing everything he holds dear.
In the Courts of Sun and Moon is a dark fantasy series of interconnected standalones set in the world of the fae. It is intended for an upper YA audience (ages 16-18) due to its darker themes and inclusion of mild gore.
A faerie without magic. A prisoner with everything. A monster that devours the moon.For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, and honor. For Vera Reite, a faerie born without magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything.But the moon is shrinking. Soon, the source of power for the Moon Court will be lost, and the fae will cease without it. When Vera learns the culprit is a monster that feeds off the magic of fae, she finds a glimmer of hope. Should she succeed in killing it, she may be able to steal its great power for herself and become a true faerie.The ancient beast is not so easily slayed, and Vera’s arrogance threatens to destroy her. The woods where the monster lurks abound in secrets and, at the core, they hide an even deadlier weapon: a long forgotten project and its prisoner. If Vera wishes to survive, she and the mysterious prisoner must work together to kill the monster before the Moon Court is devoured.Print versions of Crescent include 30+ illustrations by the author!COMING OCTOBER 2ND, 2026!
