Bearing the will to dominate all life among the desert, a long forgotten stone of power harbouring the mind of Husam al-Din is unearthed. From deep in the ice caverns of the Meil’vohllen Mountains, its release acts as a beacon, calling Na’ilah, Husam’s true blood heir to claim it for her own. Yet in her way stand Ohrl and Faerl, two brothers unwittingly linked to the power al-Din once held, their connection coveted by the Brotherhood, the ancient guardians of the lost art of Harmonics. And so Na’ilah’s race begins, for to reclaim dominion over the desert she must first conquer all who seek al-Din’s power. Only one can claim al-Din’s mind, yet without each other’s strengths, Husam al-Din will have dominion over them all. The Madness of Hallen is the first of five parts in ‘The Khalada Stone’ series.

The
Triorion series follows the lives of triplet siblings Jetta, Jaeia, and Jahx Kyron. As human children living on an alien world, they
must resort to extraordinary—and oftentimes deadly—measures to survive. But relying on their secret telepathic talents comes at a high cost, putting themselves, and those they love, in danger. With death at their heels and an ancient evil at their fingertips, the siblings must decide how to use their gifts in a time of war, even if it means tearing apart entire worlds—or each other—to save the galaxy.
Triorion: Abomination,” the second book in the series, picks up at the end of the devastating war that has left millions of Sentients displaced and entire worlds obliterated. Torn between her duties as a military leader and fulfilling her promises to her siblings, seven-year-old Jetta finds herself succumbing to a dark voice that grows louder each day. The siblings, once inseparable, face new enemies as the true source of their talents emerge and threatens to tear them–and the galaxy–apart.
In “Triorion: Reborn” (part I), Earth is a planet ruined centuries ago by biological and nuclear warfare, its dwindling population forced underground to fight for every scrap that comes their way. However, the dead world suddenly becomes the focus of both ally and foe as a fabled terrestrial technology for planet resurrection becomes a beacon of hope in a war-torn galaxy. The Kyron siblings make startling discoveries about their link to this forgotten world as Jetta is slowly consumed by a malevolent force.
