About Crystal Dark

One hidden curse. One Monster. A whole world of secrets.

Ceia was born with the power to control ice, but her magic might as well be a curse. When she slips up after seventeen years, the elders in the village give her an ultimatum. Either face the monster in the labyrinth as a sacrifice or be exiled forever. Both are a death sentence, yet something in the twisted maze calls to her. Maybe she has a chance?

But nothing in the labyrinth comes easily. Especially its secrets. With the help of her new allies, she soon discovers that the fabled monster isn’t what it’s been made out to be. And the mysterious caverns may hold everything she’s been searching for.

Only time will tell, but time isn’t exactly a luxury Ceia has. Can she solve the puzzles of a twisted past to gain the key to healing her world or will she forever be trapped in the maze?
One-click today to find out if Ceia can gain the knowledge she seeks or if the answers will be as elusive as the monster no one can tame.

About Pathfinder: An Adventure Exploration Duology (Path of Mist Book 2)

The Exciting Path of Mists Conclusion!

Jermyn, now P’Jermyn, is a hero, though many of the Cloud Runners still don’t understand precisely what he does. Despite his name, P’Jer still has trouble finding Paths, and the Cloud Runners need them for survival.

Through the summer, tensions rise, and tempers flare until, by autumn, there is a clear split. When Jer is finally forced to make a stand against the Elders, he finds he has unexpected allies, but they are not enough. With winter on the doorstep, the future of the Cloud Runners is once more in his inexperienced hands.

About Ferryl Shayde – Book 4 – Storm and Steel

Pendragon is dead, and now Abel is thrust into the position of a true sorcerer, ruler of a demesne! It would help if he had any idea what that meant, apart from apparently having the power of life and death over the thousands of unsuspecting non-magicals living there. It’s time for Abel to come clean, and tell the Tavern just who he is, and what his blood link means.

The sorcerous and church communities know the Master of Castle House has claimed a demesne, now they want to find out more. Abel and his friends just want to get through the exams at school and market their new board game, Bonny’s Tavern. As news of the game, and its possible effect, spreads across the UK, powerful foes move to stop them. Helping all those partially-aware teenagers threatens to upset a balance of power that has held since The Accord.

When sorcerers strike back, the Taverners find that even Ferryl Shayde is outmatched, and need a new game plan. A few friendly faces and some fast talking isn’t enough. The confrontation leads to Abel facing a hundred sorcerers and sorceresses, including some of the most powerful in the UK. Beneath the streets of Oxford, the Storm meets the Steel to decide the future of the Tavern, and possibly the magical future of the country!

About Ferryl Shayde – Book 2 – A Student Body

When fifteen-year-old Abel discovered Ferryl Shayde, the disembodied sorceress, and freed her from her 200 years trapped in a pit, he never bargained on finding out about magic. Though when she moved into his tattoo and began the lessons, it all seemed like a lot of fun for him and his friends. They even added just a little magic to the board game Abel and his two best friends were developing. But magic is everywhere and a hint is enough to lead some people into casting their first glyph.

A growing number of beta players, fellow students testing the game, are discovering their own magic, leaving Abel and his friends scrambling to teach them enough to stay safe. As more and more entities look closer at Brinsford, Abel’s village, he and his friends desperately try to learn enough magic to protect themselves and their families. That would be much easier without homework and parents interfering.

The sorcerers, magical creatures and vicar Creepio Mysterio all seem interested in whatever powerful creature or artifact lies at the heart of Castle House, a big, spooky old house wreathed in powerful magical protection. Abel and his friends are the only ones who can pass through the magical barrier around Castle House gardens.

But what will they risk to get inside Castle House itself?
