    The Duranaya Omnibus is here!

    A found family caught in a dying world. Unwanted powers and thirsts. Assassins of the mind and body, on the prowl.

    Twice a century, the world of Duranaya grows new surfaces from the top of its mountain, casting old ones into darkness and forcing a constant upward migration its peoples. But there are those who live in the pitch-black Undersurface ... and they march to conquer the sunlit world, commandeering the magic that once contained them.

    In the midst of the invasion, Whissen, a monk afflicted with a mind divided by magic, crosses paths with Reph, a huntress with a criminal past. They have little in common, but they do share a predator. One who has rediscovered their scents, and knows their hidden, guilty weaknesses.

    The invasion pauses for no one. Reph's aging father is trapped in a hopeless siege, and time is short. Together, Whissen and Reph must cross enemy territory before Reph's father is lost, chased by a killer who plays with her food. Can they turn their weaknesses into strengths before their pursuer does it for them?

    Book 2: The Tenebromancers

    duranaya2ebookcover.jpg

    The invasion of the Undersurface began in the proud lands of Ferilo. The minlings came not to dominate, but to exterminate the people of the surface. Old and young, women and men, all to erase a prehistoric curse. Or so taught the mages who awakened them.

    ​

    Triwalo is a Ferilo child made a refugee by the invasion. Her village is destroyed, her country decimated. In what was to be her final flight for her life, she is saved by the most powerful mages the surface has ever seen. But they are ruthless mages, whose power is matched only by their resourcefulness - and Triwalo is the best resource they have ever acquired.

    ​

    Reph, Grinla, Whissen, and their captive have nearly reached Gerulo when a child in a mask comes to their rescue. A child with terrifying power, under the control of an unseen manipulator. Can Reph push her abilities further still before it is too late for the warped girl, and the Ferilo land she once called home?
