The Eden Tree

Book 1 of the Wyvern Trilogy:

Pelya Jornin rides away from Dralin, never to return.  Nightmares travel with her, haunting the lonely roads that threaten to drive her mad.  The dangers within her own mind outweigh the perils of traveling alone.

The Blue Wyverns are a mercenary group dedicated to providing safe haven to any woman who arrives at their door.  For centuries, they have grown and their power now extends throughout the Kingdom of Eddland and into bordering countries.  They protect the roads and merchants of the countries with waypoints and well-trained companies of women soldiers.

It is Pelya’s intention to join the Blue Wyverns.  However, things are not as they should be.  Rather than being welcomed, Pelya is regarded with suspicion and contempt.  The Recruit Program is unwelcoming and in disarray.

Pelya befriends other young women who also look to escape hidden pasts.  Rather than admiring her experience and knowledge, they find her to be reckless in her actions.  Pelya draws into herself, fearing loneliness even in the midst of company.

Will Pelya’s mind conquer battles that cannot be fought with a sword?  Can she escape the eyes that haunt her sleep?  Will her new friends discover the secrets of her past?  Who will turn out to be a true friend and who has deception in their heart?  Intrigue and danger surround Pelya as she learns the history of the Blue Wyverns.  Will the beginning of her new life bring about the end?

The Wyvern Trilogy is a swords-and-sorcery fantasy series following the life of Pelya Jornin as she begins her life away from the city of Dralin.

Astra knows what she’s good at: thieving, tricking, and hitting people with rocks.  Especially the mayor’s bullying son, after he makes fun of her.  She also knows what she’s not good at: being a girl.  Not the kind of girl that lives in the tiny mountain village of Theornin, anyway.

So logically that means making Wizard Jorphen change her into a boy.

But the mayor’s already pushing Wizard Jorphen around to do something else: stopping a mountain from growing under the village and pushing everyone out.  Except the only way to stop a mountain from growing might kill Astra’s only friend.

The Kingdom of Paruth is a country torn by centuries of civil war.  All young men are conscripted into military service by the king or the lords of provinces.  Women are left to care for children and trade on their own for the most part.

In an insignificant village, in a forgotten corner of the kingdom, lives a simple peasant girl by the name of Rain.  She wonders what the future holds for her, or if the future even cares about her fate.

Rain’s friend Verna has taught her to dance through the forest in the moonlight.  The colorful woman finds pleasure in nature and life.
 

Jacob is a young man conscripted into Lord Greffen’s militia.  He discovers Rain injured one day and seeks to aid her.

The world of Ryallon holds many places filled with magic and mystery.  How will one such glade change their lives?

There are monsters in the city. And one of them is her…

Ava Kalle's empty soul devours magic. And her hunger is deadly. She's sharp, quick and can live in shadow, making her work as a spy for the Mages a natural choice. She lives on the fringes of society and likes it that way.

When the man she loves takes another woman for his mate, the darkness in her heart unravels and she'll do anything to get him back. She makes a dangerous deal with a fire elemental, Heyerdar, who has a vested interest in agreeing: together they'll use forbidden magic, harnessing their sexual energy to drive the couple apart.

But soon their pact pushes them both into a dark sexual obsession. One that Ava may not be able to control…

Princess Anilyia stays as far away from Vevin as possible because she is certain he intends to nom her.  After all, princesses are not protected from his kind.
