Beyond the Dark Gate

 Ancient evil crawls from the dark. The great river of magic threatened. An epic struggle to prevail.

Wielding the strongest magic ever known to Astura, Crystalyn stands against the hooded man’s ruthless determination to annihilate a peaceful race dwelling within the vibrant beauty of an ancient vale.

Ultimately, she faces a desperate choice: hunt down a former dear companion who threatens everything, or save the lives of family and those dear to her.

As sibling Jade’s ability to read futuristic images whirling within a person’s aura grows strong, a dire influence emerges, robbing strength from others. Clinical and calculating, its supreme alien cunning has subjugated entire worlds with no one the wiser.

The creature seeks a suitable permanent host, a bright spot moving about the land that draws the supreme being to it. Its search brings to light a bounty: a human with an exceptional ability it did not expect.

Beyond Austra

One touch kills, but not at first. A single caress would steal your ability to wish it had.

As it closes in on Crystalyn Creek, it becomes undeniable that the One Mind exists, an unearthly creature of unimaginable power. As the only being—a mere human—that has ever thwarted its raw hunger to feed on the emotions and memories, it seeks her demise. With her sister Jade as the unwilling host, the parasitic entity is far stronger than it ever has been.

Defeating such evil without harming her sibling becomes a desperate trial of instinct and survival.

With the power of the great river of magic dwindling, Crystalyn’s symbol magic is crucial against the alien’s aggression, and its horde of controlled people and worse ... a black dragon.

Meanwhile, a young and untrained User of magic makes his way across the land unknowingly tied to Crystalyn’s fate. Even with their collective strength, it may not be enough for anyone to survive what came from the icy darkness of space.

Whether of Dark or Light affinity, human or nonhuman, all must stand against it or succumb to a state of mind worse than death…

Beyond High Reach

Tolkien meets Herbert and takes us on an incredible two world struggle for survival of humankind!

To avoid a confrontation with the Creek sisters—Crystalyn and Jade—a parasitic alien calling itself the One Mind, escapes to the land of Terra, and grows quickly stronger. Gorging on the brain neurons of organic beings, the creature scales up a planet-wide plan for genocidal control, using someone dear as a host. With a small band of fighters and magic users, the siblings track it into the lowest realm on the planet, a place ravaged by radiation storms and ancient battles.

There, Crystalyn’s unorthodox power with symbols might hold the key to the alien’s demise. Or make it unimaginably stronger…
