Cordysian Chronicles

The realm of New Sylestia had enjoyed a thousand years of peace, protected by a powerful Sequestering spell. But the harmony that had once existed between Elf and Human society is now threatened from within, and Lorewyn, an Elven archer and war heroine haunted by her own past, is caught between her heritage and loyalty to her most beloved friend...and fighting for her human neighbors and a higher cause.

Dragon attacks for the first time in centuries. An elusive darkness rising in the east beyond the Crescent Mountains. A sinister plot to undermine the security of New Sylestia from within...and a pair of Elven warrior maidens caught in the middle of it all, with only their devotion to each other keeping them alive and giving them the strength they need to overcome such adversity, not only for themselves, but for their people and their realm.

Libryll’s encounter with Elves and Unicorns when she was a child growing up in the Woodman village of the Eldermark, far to the east, inspired her with a love for adventure, magic, and ancient mysteries. But now, 20 years after the events described in Two Flew at Midnight, New Sylestia and her allies are at war against Orks, Dragons, and the forces of evil. The young Deputy Waldgrave’s family is dead, her village destroyed, and Libryll is on the front lines with her Elven heroines, now not so larger than life, and learning about cost and what heroism is truly about.

The end of Where the Children of Wind Once Danced saw those adventures come to a finale for this heroine, at least in her home world. But the legacy of Lorewyn’s words and inspiration continue to live on through her letters, journal, and verse spanning over a millennium. The long-kept scrolls have been opened at last, the parchment uncovered, and with the help of a trusted Guild Mage, the Children of Wind dance again, with stories to be told that will enchant listeners who have found enjoyment in the Cordysian Chronicles trilogy. 

A strange and deadly plague, lethal to the Human kindred of New Sylestia, has taken hold in the coastal city of Fairport. While the Militia Commander Velyxi fights alongside the local magistrate to keep the vulnerable seaport quarantined amidst panic and internal forces, her daughter Lorewyn, a young and somewhat unseasoned Elven archer, along with Rhianyn and Shyntiel sail west across the ocean in hopes of finding the distant and mysterious Crown Islands, and the only hope for a cure.

Join Arcadia, Tristyn, and their comrades in this new adventure of the Cordysian Chronicles series and discover the secrets only known by the Guardian at the Gate of Tomorrow! 

A long time has passed in New Sylestia since the days of Tristyn, Arcadia, Talya, and others who once lived and fought for the future of the realm. Most have forgotten the stories. Humans and Orks live together in relative but uneasy peace. But the Seal of Concordys, which once separated the realm of Cordysia from others, has been dissolving, and is now at a point where certain barriers dividing regions of existence that once held are now traversable...and that has brought chaos, danger, and the return of an old clever adversary who is seeking a renewed opportunity at dominance. 

A group of adolescent Elven militia cadets from New Sylestia on a seemingly routine training exercise in Highvale. A puzzling power play involving a young Human heiress and her pending marriage to a young man that could unite a kindred in the region. An ancient teacher from Cordysia's distant past...and a novice archer's unexpected but necessary undercover mission, playing the part of someone who by appearances is essentially her identical twin!

Get ready for a leap into nostalgia and childhood dreams. Contained are four short stories from the Secondary Epoch, a time between wars, when Unicorns still frolicked in woodland glades, magical winged creatures still gracefully flew in the skies above, with Dark Lords still exiled in depths, and evil somewhere between a distant memory and a future that seemed far and remote. See the realm through hopeful hazel green eyes and experience the magic as if for the very first time. 

Long ago, the allied kindreds of Cordysia fought a costly war against the evil Pirryneus and his minions, Orks and Dragons, including his most formidable co-conspirator the mighty Elder Drake Brykkael. Pirryneus and his forces were defeated, and Brykkael himself was slain. But now, 300 years later, evidence has reached New Sylestia that the wealth collected and hoarded by that fallen serpent ages ago and thought long-abandoned and perhaps only a myth might've at last been found.

Rhianyn's mother, Traphaunes' wife, a student of Cordysia's greatest Elven teacher, a veteran of the First Sylestian War, one of new Sylestia's cultural architects, guildmaster of the War Mages, accomplished poet (although few knew), midwife, mentor to Elven cadets, and some even believed a prophetess.
