In the first book, young Taya Mindaerel and her mother must flee their home or face certain death at the hands of a dark hunter and his man-eating horse. They seek the aid of the Great Magus Olbinaar, who does help them for a time, but for his own reasons. On the way they meet three boys who will help Taya on her journey. Alex is a charming scoundrel, Brand is a dour soldier, and Ogger is a wild creature.
Throughout the series I want to emphasize strong characters above all else. Each is vibrant yet iconic, a new face on a familiar archetype. Each has his or her own voice and is so compelling that the very narrative itself (3rd person) is warped around whoever has POV in any given scene. Der'aevis's scenes read very differently from Alex's, just for example. I'm often told that dialogue is one of my strengths.
Thanks.



I published my first book in November but I still need more reviews for it. I can get free ebooks for reviewers.
I have also finished the first draft of book 2 in the series, Red Bird. I need beta readers for that. Again I can get you a free ebook of the first one so you're up to speed.
Thanks.
