In a world of magic, dragons, and spirits of power, sixteen-year-old Claire serves as the feared and hated heir to a crumbling throne. In the dark of the night, a sinister force takes her mother, the queen that protects her people. Claire must travel untamed lands armed only with the very powers that her own people fear and a temperamental little brother who carries his own scars. They must face ancient threats to find the queen their people desperately need to survive. Can she return her mother to the throne? Will her people wither without a powerful ruler?

The only ones who can fix a broken world are those who have been broken by that world. A shadowy threat has emerged in a realm populated by serious wizards, pious elves, passionate humans, and hedonistic morphs. Several outcasts have been brought together-by fate or by design?-for what they believe to be an epic struggle against that shadowy threat. Yet if they are expecting a straightforward quest to slay some Dark Lord and bring peace to the world, the outcasts are disabused of that notion when a wise voice warns them, "It's not that kind of story." But what kind of story is it? Are these broken beings on an epic quest, or is someone guiding their mission under the aegis of a tired and traditional story? And is this "someone" benevolent or sinister? As the outcasts seek to mend their broken pasts, navigate the perils of love, and perhaps save the known world, we are left to wonder how much of the story is a lie and how much truth has been baked in to make the meal palatable. While "The Outcasts" pays homage to traditional fantasy archetypes, it also seeks to undermine most of them. In a story laced with ancient and medieval scenery, you will find yourself dizzy with the plot twists of this exciting debut fantasy novel. Book I, "The Lies of Autumn" introduces the half-Wizard Marcus and his dear friend Quintus, who find themselves unexpectedly in the company of enslaved Elf siblings Griffin and Gwendolyn, the disgraced Human soldier Octavia, and a Morph named Alexia who possesses abilities which have not been seen in 1,000 years or more. These disparate creatures must navigate love and jealousy, friendship and selfishness, as well as the unspeakable tragedies which haunt each one of their pasts in a quest to save an indifferent world. As Octavia notes, "It sounds like one of those epic tales of old, but it sure doesn't feel like one." Expect fantasy with a twist, as well as equal helpings of romance and action.

Just east of the border of the kingdom of Spring lie the deserts of the Mountain Wyld. There at the southern oasis, a village is destroyed and most of the people are either killed or captured. A young Fawnin named Jari must protect her younger sister, a rare spirit prized by both Spring and Summer. Rumors of the Contest of Champions lead her to the heart of the east. The sisters find themselves pawns in the Alder King's game. Can Jari keep her sister safe? Can she hold on to her humanity in the process?

Disaster can come in many forms. It has only been nine months since the coronation of Queen Claire, and in that time, Autumn has seen hope take root. Dragons once more soar the skies, the kingdom’s children are being cared for, and trade increases. All of this is put at risk when a new threat approaches. One that imperils the very people the queen has sworn to protect. Can Claire find a way to save her kingdom? Could she ever do it alone?

The kingdom of Summer holds the greatest military in the world of Fairie. It is a land of abundance and riches, ruled by Queen Fennine Firth. She sat invulnerable in the Great Arborium, an ancient tree at the center of the southern kingdom and the heart of the aspect of earth. Then Summer crossed the Demon Prince. Jack has gone rogue, rampaging through the jungles of Summer even as the Black March brings the full might of the horde to the world of Fairie. Queen Claire now must struggle against multiple enemies, all while trying to hold on to the fragile alliance she worked so hard to create. It will mean all-out war. Can the Autumn Prince survive against a kingdom? Can Fairie survive the Black March’s hordes?

The Summer War left Fairie devastated. Evan Daniels was one of the captured slaves rescued from the Arborium. Soon after arriving in Autumn, he’s sent to meet a man named Gray. Dr. Daniels is a trained psychologist and just the man the Wind Walker was looking for. Evan must learn to navigate a new world, cope with powerful children, and somehow prepare himself to confront the man known throughout Fairie as the Demon Prince. If he can survive the day, Autumn might have just found a new school counselor. Will the children of Autumn find a way to overcome the trauma and danger of the past? Can Evan find a place in a world of magic and danger?
