“Know this: there are those who can see ahead, just as you do also, they see the future. Yet they use it to gain power over those who seek them out so they may control them, and not in love to guide and warn as the servants of Dominio use it. They are mystics who garble strange gibberish that they pass off as knowledge, diviners who call on evil spirits that they may see what lies ahead.” The Valeriun Empire has fallen into the hands of a violent man who seeks power above all else, and declares himself divine. The persecution of the Alexandrians intensifies, spreading fear throughout the land. Marcus Maximus mourns the loss of his greatest treasure, but receives enlightening information regarding its theft. Dag Adalbart suffers for the cause of the Kingdom, and faces an uncertain fate.

In Eirinia, a web of wickedness is spun around the villagers, with the Adalbart family the selected prey. Around them, the Tuadan increase in power, making their presence known as terror mounts through the countryside. And it is up to the seer Kyrene to piece together the puzzle that is Melisande, and to break her hold over those under her spell before it is too late.

“The very structure on which the Valeriun Empire was built had crumbled, and a new kingdom was rising in its midst. But not Dominio’s Kingdom of Heaven: no, the Emperor was taking the name of Dominio in vain and implementing a terrifying abuse of power that would bring death to untold thousands, all in the name of God.” In Valerium the Emperor Iacomus implements a terrifying regime that destroys the foundations of the Empire, and sets himself up in the place of God. Marcus Maximus is forced to hide from the wrath of the Emperor, with help coming from an unlikely source, as his children face difficult choices that will decide not only their destinies, but the survival of the Kingdom.

“I am Sir Verion,” the knight moaned. “And I and my fellow knights have been laid under a dark enchantment. For all of these wolves that you see around you were once knights. We were valiant, we were true, and we were brave. “But we broke our vow to our overlord. We pledged to serve Lord Kinellan; we vowed to be faithful and come to his aid whenever he called. But we broke that vow. We took what was not ours to take. He commanded us to set out on a quest; our task was to bring back a treasure. But we lusted after the treasure and we stole much of it instead and did not return to him with it.“We were not aware that there was a spell on the treasure; a dark enchantment that brought evil on all who stole it. Whosoever would take it unlawfully would be changed into their true form, and so we became wolves, greedy and lustful. “And so here we are. And we will remain in this state until that dark enchantment is broken and we are set free.”A pack of wolves under a dark curse, an evil wizard, and a missing wife lead Abelard on another exciting quest into adventure and enchantment.

Godfrey’s voice dropped to a sudden whisper and he looked at the floorboards and muttered as if for his own ears alone.“Long has this evil afflicted the kingdom, yet none have been brave enough to confront it. Is this now the time of its end, I wonder?”His eyes looked unseeingly at the wall opposite his stool as if looking at a vision perceptible to his eyes alone. So long was he silent that Abelard cleared his throat to recall him back to their presence. Godfrey looked at him and blinked his eyes. Abelard ventured to address him, and what he mistook as a slip on Godfrey’s part.“A long time, you say? Yet this cloud did not appear over Merdyce until just this morning as the citizens rose from their beds.”Godfrey gazed at him, until his chest heaved suddenly in a deep sigh.“Oh, Abelard,” he murmured.“Many shall be the weapons of warfare that come against you,” Godfrey intoned solemnly. “Yet, you shall be equipped to overcome them. Everything you need for success lies within you or shall be provided, although you do not yet know it.“When evil assails you, know that there is a way to combat it. You shall see what is unseen, hear what is not audible, and speak words you do not know. You shall become aware of what is hidden from knowledge, and have the sudden wisdom to solve whatever problem you face. You shall know good from evil, and discern the presence of either in every place you set your foot. You shall receive power to deliver from evil, and the gift to heal whatever has been afflicted. Even nature shall be subject to your command, and you shall understand the tongues of men and be able to respond in their own language.“But proceed with caution, for these powers do not belong to you for your own purposes, but must be used for the good of others: they are gifts only and can be taken away as suddenly as they are bestowed. If you attempt to battle evil on your own in your own strength, know that you shall fail, and your mission be aborted. The consequences of that failure shall be grave, and the lives of many impacted and imperiled.”The merry Kingdom of Merdyce is enchanted under the curse of an evil witch. Only Abelard, the simple farm boy who became a knight in Abelard and the Dragon's Vapor, dares to pursue the witch and force her to break the spell. But the road is filled with surprises, danger, and marvels as he ventures into the perilous realm where few dare to go, and those who do are never the same. From L. M.

"It had happened again. He woke up in a cold sweat. The nightmare had returned. The nightmare of hands reaching out to clutch him, hands coming from a grave, hands that seemed to transcend the tombstone, the tombstone whose name could not be read. He tried to run but the hands came after him, clutching him, threatening to stop him. He woke just as he fell while hurtling over a headstone, the wind knocked out of him, turning behind him to find the hands ever nearer, coming closer, determined to catch him. Mike Matthews sat up in bed. He woke with a gasp, sweat pouring from his forehead, and his heart pounding in his chest. His breath came in short sharp stabs. Why, why did he always have this dream? Why did it come upon him, haunting him, making him afraid at times to fall asleep?And lately it had been worse, it had come more often. It used to only come upon him once or twice a year, since he was fifteen years old. But it was coming more frequently, and always it seemed after he had fallen, after he had given in to the temptation of the uncontrollable urge.Mike was a thief. No one was aware of it, because he was very good at covering his tracks. No one knew when there was a theft of jewelry, that it was he who took it. And always it was a green stone. He could resist any other kind of gem; pearls, diamonds, costume jewelry, silver, or gold. But something about the color green, particularly emeralds, always caught his eye, and he found himself reaching out with shaking hands to take it."Mike Matthews is haunted by a dream and a curse that threaten to ruin his existence. Until one wild night when he and his brother and their friend discover a mysterious cavern where they find themselves hurtled back in time and encounter a smuggler, pirates, and other nefarious characters who uncover a past that creates as many questions as answers...From L.
