Includes both books in the acclaimed Book of Astea duology as well as a companion novella.

Book 1: Riven Earth

The world has stopped turning.

Burned by a blazing sun. Thrust into eternal winter.

Life survives only in the Sunset Forest.

For untold millennia, mankind lived subservient to the dryads, forced into worship of the Earth-Mother, Astea. Then one man ventured into the Scorched Desert and returned with the secret of fire. His rebellion brought the dryad empire to ash. In its place, he founded the Kingdom of Heartsong.

Twelve years later, the new king is missing. The earth trembles. Famine ravages the land, and a mysterious illness creeps through the capital.

Plots of treason and revenge abound, but as the mistakes of the past bear fruit, men will reap what they have sown.

Book 2: Sundered Moon

The sun is rising…

And it shall raze the world to ash.

Astea’s Link is broken. Plague ravages the kingdom. Blood is made stone, and the fate of all life is sealed.

Kaido has finally donned the crown. In search of a cure, his army marches into Hecata’s Desert. Will they find his people’s salvation or their destruction?

Book 2.5: A Sojourn in the Sunset Forest

Four years before Riven Earth, the world is quieter, gentler.

Or so it seems.

Newlyweds Kaido and Jaswyn return home to find the Viceroy has already set their royal duties in motion.

Kaido must journey to the mountains with his father, drawn by the whispers of a forbidden faith. Jaswyn and Raia embark on the Oakington, the grandest ship ever built. Otto and Tilly plunge into the swamps of Tuno, hoping to rescue those left stranded by a flood.

Nothing goes to plan.

A Sojourn in the Sunset Forest is a companion novella to the Book of Astea duology. This story is best read after Riven Earth or even after Sundered Moon.
