But General Vard, wasp commander of the Black Watch, has other plans.

Two hundred years after Earth's destruction, humans are on the run from the Warrior Alphas, who have taken over the planet. Only old, leather-bound books pulled from the rubble tell the story of who once inhabited most of Earth. Calypso is one of the last survivors, hiding in one of remaining human safe havens.

She has always been warned about the large, merciless enemy, and that if they found them, they would be killed or enslaved.

I swear I saw something in the water the night they were both killed. But this is no chance occurrence. As the body count begins to rise, and as more tragedies unfold, I realize that something has to be done.

Civilization is getting a rare opportunity to witness a once-in-a-lifetime interview with a now well-advanced-in-years Lorewyn, to hear the untold tale of her and Rhianyn's enduring tenure on Earth following their exile from being immortal realm-travelers and guides, and how these two extraordinary women from a different existence, helped the human race to embark on a journey that took them past the stages of bigotry, xenophobia, and division, to reach out toward the stars in unity and with love, and explore new realms in the spirit of peace.

Will Rhianyn's love for and commitment to Lorewyn be strong enough to break through barriers of space and time and guide her into taking the sacrificial steps necessary to set things right and restore what originally was?

Dr. Richard Arden is a man of science, a renowned and respected forensic anthropologist who at the age of 80 and now afflicted with an incurable disease has seen a few things, had some unusual experiences, and done some “connecting of the dots” to formulate a rather unorthodox and a bit “unscientific-sounding” hypothesis: that we are not, in fact, alone on this planet.

Get ready for a leap into nostalgia and childhood dreams. Contained are four short stories from the Secondary Epoch, a time between wars, when Unicorns still frolicked in woodland glades, magical winged creatures still gracefully flew in the skies above, with Dark Lords still exiled in depths, and evil somewhere between a distant memory and a future that seemed far and remote. See the realm through hopeful hazel green eyes and experience the magic as if for the very first time.

The end of Where the Children of Wind Once Danced saw those adventures come to a finale for this heroine, at least in her home world. But the legacy of Lorewyn’s words and inspiration continue to live on through her letters, journal, and verse spanning over a millennium.

Long ago, the allied kindreds of Cordysia fought a costly war against the evil Pirryneus and his minions, Orks and Dragons, including his most formidable co-conspirator the mighty Elder Drake Brykkael. Pirryneus and his forces were defeated, and Brykkael himself was slain. But now, 300 years later, evidence has reached New Sylestia that the wealth collected and hoarded by that fallen serpent ages ago and thought long-abandoned and perhaps only a myth might've at last been found.

The realm of New Sylestia had enjoyed a thousand years of peace, protected by a powerful Sequestering spell.

A long time has passed in New Sylestia since the days of Tristyn, Arcadia, Talya, and others who once lived and fought for the future of the realm. Most have forgotten the stories. Humans and Orks live together in relative but uneasy peace. But the Seal of Concordys, which once separated the realm of Cordysia from others, has been dissolving, and is now at a point where certain barriers dividing regions of existence that once held are now traversable...and that has brought chaos, danger, and the return of an old clever adversary who is seeking a renewed opportunity at dominance.
