I can send them to you.
I can send them to a loved one. I don’t gift wrap, but I will write Do Not Open Until Christmas on the envelope and include your name in the return address as well as the message written in the book.

The Balphrahn Series

DAwn Before the Dark

Update:
I have paperback copies of this version. The rights to this book were returned to me in November 2023, and I am in the process of preparing it to relaunch with a new cover and title in April 2024. The story itself hasn’t changed, so feel free to read whichever version you wish.
***
An ancient curse keeps men in fear of dragons, so only women can ride them in Slan—while only men can perform magic. As a necromancer from beyond the edge of the known world threatens invasion, Briant appears—a young man who loves dragons. Wybren Tanwen must decide: Is Briant the dragonborn, the answer to prophecy? Will he save Slan?

Fire and Water

COMING BACK SOON!
When a water dragon threatens thousands of innocent lives in Balphrahn, Tanwen joins four other dragon riders for her first combat mission. Five fire dragons clash against one massive and powerful water dragon, with results no one expected. Tanwen must learn that sacrifice is a part of service. And that no one in the line of duty can leave personal business unfinished at home…
*A prequel to Dawn Before The Dark*
