The Agents of Kalanon Series
Kalanon's Rising
Sir Brannon Kesh thought he’d left the name Bloodhawk (and the wartime reputation that went with it) behind but when the King’s cousin is murdered, duty forces Brannon to take on a dangerous task. Solving the crime is the only way to save his country – and himself.
The disturbing crime scene suggests dark magic and clues point to the Nilarian ambassador, an alluring woman with secrets of her own. Kalanon barely survived the last Nilarian onslaught. Another war will mean disaster.
As bodies pile up and political ramifications escalate, Brannon must join forces with a vain mage with a mysterious dragon tattoo, a socially awkward priest, and a zombie-raising shaman to solve the murders and prevent the impending chaos. The Risen are the greatest danger Brannon has ever faced. If he and his team of misfits cannot stop the killer then all of Kalanon – and the world – will descend into darkness.

Mercury's Return
The alley was dark and ominously quiet but for the measured beat of footsteps behind her. Hunting her. Ylani gripped the cold handle of the knife tightly. A voice she’d hoped never to hear again spoke from the darkness. “Welcome back, Mistress Mercury.”
Going home isn’t safe when your friends are more dangerous than your enemies.
Ambassador Ylani has been summoned back to Nilar where Brannon’s parents are accused of murder. If the team are unable to identify the true culprit, the fledgeling relationship between countries will crumble and take Brannon’s last chance to forgive his parents along with it.
But solving a case is difficult when you’re surrounded by former enemies and new relationships. While Brannon and Ylani navigate being more than friends despite coming from opposing sides of a war, Magus Draeson struggles in his unlikely new role as a parent and mentor. Can the investigators solve the murders and keep the peace between countries or will Ylani’s past break the team apart?
