The Rise of
Ravan the Great

Book 1 of The Trilogy of Ravan the Great

Born into slavery in the fire elemental nation of Arderé, Ravan experienced an awakening the day he was torn from the shelter of his mother. After finally escaping captivity, he devotes himself to a singular dream: spending his life hunting the World Wonders.

But a series of tragedies changes the trajectory of his plans, twisting his ambitions into something far darker. Though his search for the World Wonders continues, his reason for pursuing them are more questionable. And as the years pass, a dangerous temptation begins to tug at his heart, promising to save time and ensure him success.

First introduced as the mysterious man in the silver cloak in "The Key: Book 2 of The Rose Tree Chronicles," "The Rise of Ravan the Great" delves deeper into the motives behind the man's actions. Fraught with loss, strife, and vengeance, the centuries which formed the slave-boy into the powerful man we fear in The Rose Tree Chronicles are brought to the surface within these pages.

Platinum Prisons

Book 4 of The Rose Tree Chronicles

What happens when multiple prophecies appear to contradict each other? When the bad ones come to fruition, and the good ones seem to grow less and less relevant?

The subtle battle between land and sea isn't so subtle anymore when secrets are exposed and evil only triumphs over and over again. Polaris still holds his title as Imperial Advisor to Empress Ariana, but his position in the palace is next to useless. Meanwhile, Ivanna loses allies left and right, and some even betray her.

Quickly, freeing the ocean princess Nadia from slavery becomes a hopeless ambition, especially when Rein Bow starts to experience prophetic dreams again, and they seem to contradict the Royal Dream with Nadia never seeing freedom.
