Introducing Vintage Illustrations and Fine Art Royalty Free Images

As someone who occasionally buys royalty free stock images I know how difficult it can be to find that perfect picture. I've mentioned here before that I'm a bit of an estate sale and auctionaddict, and I've been collecting some vintage art prints and illustrations from old books. I sell some of them on Etsy, and I've been working hard the last few months to scan my collection and develop high... read more »

Tracy's Writing

Union of Renegades: The Rys Chronicles Book I (Science Fiction & Fantasy)

4 chapters — updated Mar 29, 2010 04:33pm

Description: Dreibrand Veta has killed for his country. At the frontlines of imperial expansion, he seeks to rebuild the fortune of his noble family. In his daring travels, he encounters the rys, a race far more powerful than the human empire that bred him. Dreibrand cannot defy the rys Queen Onja nor defend his companion, Miranda, and her children from the wicked tyrant queen. Desperate for help, Dreibrand and Miranda join Shan, a rys with emerging powers who plans to challenge Onja. In Shan's pursuit of the rys throne, he exerts his magical powers, gathers his allies, and incites rebellion among Onja's human subjects. Great wealth and power will reward the kings, warriors, and spies that align themselves with the rys pretender, but defeat could mean worse than death. Onja can imprison souls and her genocidal rage is legendary. Everything is at risk for Shan's Union of Renegades.
