Liberation

Freedom to live. Freedom to kill.

A prisoner scarred by his past, suffocating in his desert hell.

A crown prince bound by his family’s tragedy.

A myrprincess stripped of command and promised to a human.

All must shed the shackles that bind them, but the darkness of the world is spreading quickly—madness in the streets, a ravaging sickness of the body and mind, and enemies at every border. Those gifted with magic, those bonded to dragons, those with a heart for righting the wrongs in the world must decide how to use their abilities.

For with freedom to live comes the freedom to resist, to fight . . . and to kill.

Their battles stretch across continents but are more intertwined than they can possibly imagine. Liberation is the first book in The Keepers of Midgate series, an epic fantasy set in a world of powerful elemental magic, sentient but reclusive dragons, and fearsome magical races.

  • Second Plot Line Finished!

    This week I finished the revision of the second of three plot lines in “Liberation.” I’ve been pushing hard for two reasons: 1) I’m hiring an editor who is ready for my complete manuscript in May, and 2) I signed up for Camp NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and said I would edit 100,000 words. …
