The Message was Only the Beginning....

A mysterious warrior hunted relentlessly for the message she carries. A restless swordsman who pledges her aid. As dark chaos spreads across the land, together they must face the vengeful evil at its heart.

 

Rowan Mor Lanyar is a swords-woman of extraordinary skill, trained from a young age to become an elite guardian of her island home. But a prophesy of hope and salvation sends her across the Eryos Ocean to the turbulent land of Eryos where order and stability are remnants of fallen empires and a forgotten time.

 

Rowan, unaware of the depth of her role in the coming conflict must deliver her message to the northern most kingdom where a an army of  legendary creatures are threatening to end the emerging peace.

 

Torrin Ralor, along with his brother Nathell and their small band of mercenaries, travel northward toward Pellar, answering a summons to help defend the kingdom. It is a homeland Torrin vowed never return to, and now he must face the ghosts of his tragic past.

 

In the forbidden Wilds, they discover the mysterious Myrian warrior, Rowan, wounded and hunted by the same frightening beasts. Remarkably, her mission aligns with their own, yet she travels with a strange and unlikely friend, whose true nature leads them to question all they have heard about the northern attacks.

 

As the danger grows, it becomes more apparent that they must get Rowan and her message to Pellar and the king, but it seems the message is only the beginning, for the true threat is much more complex and dangerous than they could have imagined.

 

Together, Rowan, Torrin, and their companions must face an ancient and forbidding magic, whose dreadful legacy fuels a terrible desire for revenge and destruction.

 

Traveling through spell-binding landscapes filled with danger and adventure, Rowan and Torrin face a destiny that will entangle them both and forever change who they are.

Welcome to Eryos

A chaotic darkness has consumed the lands of Eryos. The fall of the twin empires left a collection of lawless realms where quest for power and the might of the sword hold sway.

 

Only Pellar in the north has the strength and vision to foster an age of peace and prosperity, allowing the kingdoms to emerge from turmoil. But a legendary enemy threatens to overwhelm Pellar, extinguishing that fragile hope.

Into this turbulent land, swords-woman Rowan Mor Lanyar must travel on a quest to bring an urgent message to the northern king – along with a slim chance to stop the coming darkness.

Torrin Ralor, a restless swordsman traveling to answer a summons from his homeland, comes to her aid. Their fates, it seems, are entwined. Together they must find a way to save the kingdom or die trying.

Behind the Scenes – A Synergy of Writing and Art

Blog Title on Parchment by Kindrie grove_edited.png

As the world of The Stone Guardians develops, the cross pollination between the writing and the art creation has increased.

 

Sometimes scenes for the books have come through first as paintings and sculptures.

 

It is a rich and rewarding process and I am gratified to be able to share it with my audience.
