The kingdoms of the Northwest were once unified under a single crown, but treachery split ancient Westervael in twain. Now, in a land long-divided by war, two kings chase different dreams for their people. The Black Falcon seeks compromise, independence, and loyalty to tradition. The White Falcon longs for reunification of the Brother Realms, no matter the cost.

An attack by assassins shatters a fragile peace, and caught up in the maelstrom are twin brothers ... (READ MORE)



The war between the Brother Realms reaches its bloody climax as the Falcon kings race to secure allies and vie for dominance of the Northwest.

As the Black Falcon’s army pushes deeper into Fieran territory, Kelyn must learn to bear the weight of the War Commander’s helm. Victory—and the lives of thousands—depend on his word alone. While he presses against the relentless tide of his enemies, he harbors a dark secret, one that may spell of the destruction of his family. Wounds of the flesh matter little when a man must battle his conscience and his own desires to reclaim his honor... (READ MORE)


As the kingdoms of the Northwest recover from a devastating war, Kelyn of Ilswythe is trying to put his life back in order. Adjusting to peacetime and life at home with a new wife and son is difficult enough, but he soon learns that all is not as idyllic as it appears. He receives troubling news of children disappearing, of dwarves locked in frenzied war against an unnamed foe, of travelers slaughtered by unseen monsters. To Kelyn, these disturbing events appear unrelated, but evidence soon proves that sinister magic is at work... (READ MORE)



The lands of the Northwest are laid waste, the people scattered. In the wake of devastating betrayal, the Sons of Ilswythe reel to find a foothold. With his home in ruins, Kelyn must learn fast how to fight a foe he does not understand. Refugees from across Aralorr flee Lothiar’s atrocities and gather to Kelyn’s banner, desperate for a leader willing to make a stand. But is his ragtag army enough to hold back Lothiar’s bloodthirsty horde?

In secret, Thorn Kingshield experiments with perilous energies in an attempt to develop a new kind of magic. Success will supply him with a new weapon that may enable him to decimate the ogre hordes. Failure may cost him the very thing that makes him avedra—and unleash the evils of the Abyss. (READ MORE)


The fifth and final volume of the Falcons Saga brings this sweeping fantasy series to its stunning conclusion.

With Kelyn wounded in an attempt to barter for peace and Thorn recovering from his struggle against forces from the abyss, defeat and despair encroach. The human armies are stretched to their limit, and Lothiar’s horde relentlessly presses against their last stronghold.

Amid the carnage, Carah is determined to mend the wounds sundering her family and risks a journey across hundreds of miles of ogre-infested territory. When Lothiar’s schemes pay off and Carah finds herself in the dreaded Pit... (READ MORE)

ANTHOLOGIES:

featuring "A Rabbit For Mister Revels"

Whether it’s Legos left on the floor, small, sticky handprints literally everywhere, or refusing to eat anything remotely green, our children have been a constant source of angst since time began.

And yet, driven by that innate, primal instinct to replicate our DNA, we still have them - despite all warnings to the contrary.

We’ve compiled 22 terrifying stories of young hellions and kids out of control to keep you wide awake in the small hours and watching over your shoulder... (READ MORE)

featuring "The Bone Harp"

Fairytales don’t always happen once upon a time. Fables don’t always have a happy ending. Sometimes the stories we love are too dark for nightmares. What if waking Sleeping Beauty was the worse thing the Prince could have done? What if Rapunzel wasn't in that tower for her own protection—but for everyone else’s?

Assembled by The Bearded Scribe Press, Twice Upon A Time combines classics and modern lore in peculiar and spectacular ways. From Rapunzel to Rumpelstiltskin, this unique collection showcases childhood favorites unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Both traditionally-published and independent authors will take you on a whirlwind ride through fairytale and folklore, myth and majick. Cherished stories are revisited and remastered into newly-treasured tales of hope and heartache, of adversity and adventure. (READ MORE)

featuring "A Mournful Rustling"

EXPLORERS: BEYOND THE HORIZON is a short story anthology featuring characters forever changed by their discovery of lands and worlds beyond their own.

(READ MORE)

featuring "The Witch of Mistletoe Lane"

ALWAYS FREE TO DOWNLOAD! Halloween - a holiday that evokes so much. Some say it’s a time when the space between worlds is too thin to bear the weight, and outer things spill over for a bit of Trick Or Treating. The stories found inside this e-anthology echo that idea, reporting back from a corner where the mirror has reflected a distorted image of this season.

Inside we’ll find a young man’s madness has driven him down a bloody path and the brutal folklore of the early 19th century clawed to life. We’ll see domestic bliss marred only by suburban lycanthropy and retail employees devoured by cosmic malevolence. Witches, monsters, and maniacs as written by authors of fantasy, adventure, mystery, poetry, romance and horror. We’ll dig deeper into a celebration now known for masks, candy and pumpkins while immersing ourselves in this anthology. Here, we’ll go past the patch and discover what tales lurk on the other side.
