Fifty years of silence. Fifty years of running from the past. Now, the past is coming back. A sorcerer haunted by dreams of a city he’s never seen. A blind woman who feels the pulse of someone she thought was gone forever. And a survivor waiting in the shadows, certain that something has been moving toward them all along. They don’t know why they’re being drawn back together. They don’t know what has been waiting in the dark. And after half a lifetime apart, they don’t know if they can survive the truth. Reunion of the Three is the electrifying beginning of The Ring of Worlds, a story of broken bonds, buried secrets, and a destiny that refuses to stay hidden. The silence is over. The call has begun. And some answers are more dangerous than the lies that hid them. These novels feature a diverse cast of characters of different ethnicities and orientations. They aren't standalone stories and must be read in order.

Isyr. Stronger, brighter, more beautiful than other metals. Once the most desirable thing in Ellasia, now it is priceless, the pure Isyrium needed to produce it mined to exhaustion. What’s left is controlled by the powerful mining syndicates, and such is the demand for their Isyrium that even kings do their bidding. Yet just as the beauty of Isyr hides a deadly secret, so too do the syndicates. A terrifying enemy is spreading a plague across the land, a sickness that kills or transforms everything it touches. Unable to contain the outbreaks, the king of Lankara recalls from exile his former friend and military commander, Alyas-Raine Sera, a man who has spent years fighting syndicate expansion and whose resentment over his exile makes him an unpredictable, dangerous ally in the power struggle between the rulers of Ellasia and the mining companies. Attached to the embassy sent to recall Alyas, apprentice surgeon Brivar finds his skills and loyalty tested as his service to his new patron uncovers secrets about Isyr and the plague that link it to the mining of Isyrium – and threaten the life of the man it is his duty to safeguard. In their own separate ways, Alyas and Brivar must take on the might of the syndicates and confront the greed, murder, betrayal and impossible choices of a crisis that has been decades in the making – and the price of their failure could be everyone and everything. The Many Shades of Midnight is a gritty political fantasy about friendship, sacrifice, and the fight for survival in a world where greed drives everything and no one can be trusted. If you enjoy complex characters, intricate world-building, and high-stakes intrigue, you’ll love this standalone grimdark fantasy.
