The world I know is flooded.

The water’s black. You don’t go in the water. You don’t touch it. If you do, it will get you, drag you down, and you’re gone. 

I believe the world wasn’t always that way – that once there was land that stretched forever, that there was no danger from the water – but that doesn’t set me apart. What sets me apart, makes me different, is I believe it can go back to that.

Without the Sundered, we die.

Harry Iskinder knows the rules.

Don’t touch the water, or it will pull you under. Conserve food, because there’s no arable land. Use Sundered slaves gently, or they die too quickly to be worthwhile.

With extinction on the horizon and a world lost to deadly flood, Harry searches for a cure: the Hope of Humanity, the mysterious artifact that gave humans control over the Sundered centuries ago. According to legend, the Hope can fix the planet.

But the Hope holds more secrets than Harry knows. Powerful Sundered Ones willingly bow to him just to get near it. Ambitious enemies pursue him, sure that the Hope is a weapon. Friends turn their backs, afraid Harry will choose wrong.

And Harry has a choice to make. The time for sharing the Earth is done. Either the Sundered survive and humanity ends, or humanity lives for a while, but the Sundered are wiped out.

He never wanted this choice. He still has to make it. In his broken, flooded world, Hope comes with a price.

Still In Progress

The Price of a Feather

A half-breed boy falls into a world where the magic is dying, and his new wings – he grew them just last night! – are producing feathers that might have the power to save everything.

The Price of a Dragon Scale

Uncovering a plot to destroy all the magic in north-western Europe is only half the battle.

No Place for Fay

This Seelie fay prince only pretends to be childlike. Falling in love with humans has gotten him in trouble before, but at least he had the good sense never to fall for a cop.

Notte

The autobiography (so to speak) of Notte, the first vampire. He had a long way to go before he became the perfect gentleman.

Witch-Hunter

Genetic research, magic, and irritable Sumerian gods. What could possibly go wrong?
