Anotech Chronicles Series

On the surface, Reshner is experiencing a time of peace and prosperity, but trouble is brewing. The Royal House faces threats from without and within. Even the anotechs - fabled god-machines - will be hard-pressed to save the royals this time. Includes books one to three: Reshner’s Royal Ranger, Reshner’s Royal Threat, and Reshner’s Royal Guard.

Crowns often come with a price. For Terosh, the Kireshana - or “renewing fire journey” - offers a chance to prove himself as a man, not just the spare prince. However, first, he must escape his father’s smothering presence. For Reia, a Ranger sworn to protect royals, the task of keeping the prince safe turns complicated when the fool runs away from his private guards. After an explosive meeting, the prince and the Ranger decide to travel together. Forces of nature and wild animals are expected dangers, but several predators come with political agendas.

Once upon a time, Princess Mavis chose love over a political marriage. Her father disowned her, stripping away any chance she or an heir would inherit Reshner’s throne. But her father is dead, and so are her little brother and his elder son. Thus far, Mavis’s nephew, Terosh, has turned out to be an adequate king, but Reshner cannot afford to be divided.

The king and queen are dead. Lord Kezem rules with an iron fist. The royal children have been separated for their own safety. Protected by an ancient charm that links her life to Kezem, Princess Rela lives in the palace. For a time, Prince Teven trains with the Rangers. He joins the royal guard and goes on the Kireshana, so that someday he can confront the usurper and take back the throne.

They lost one daughter to greed. They may lose the other to destiny. Sixteen years ago, the Anderek’s first daughter was kidnapped as a pawn in a brutal business feud. Now, a single anonymous message changes everything. It says: She’s alive. Go to Zopha. Sieri Anderek and her parents trade their comfortable life for the remote, sparsely populated planet, but Zopha is steeped in dangerous customs, ruled by reclusive families, and shadowed by a dark prophecy speaking of fire and war.
