Kenley Davidson answered Elizabeth's question: I’m super excited about book 4… How many books are in the Legends of Abreia series? The series will be six books in total... The Captive Throne will complete Danric and Evaraine's story, so the final two books will feature a new leading couple.

Quotes by Kenley Davidson (?)

“Maybe they were afraid. Maybe they didn’t think there was anything they could do.” “Maybe they never tried.” “Because they were afraid.” “Is that how you humans allow so many atrocities between you? By convincing yourselves that fear absolves you of responsibility?”
― Kenley Davidson, The Faceless Mage

Kenley’s Quotes

“Fairy tale does not deny the existence of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance. It denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat...giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy; Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
