Heart of Dragons

2019

Searching for the elven King's missing Dragonheart is his ruthless Spymaster Dimitri, who has his own agenda to revolutionise Pelenor, and free it from the King's greed. Harper is thrust into a web of intrigue beyond her knowledge, and her newfound companions - a roguish elven thief and his ragtag band - might not be the trustworthy friends she thinks. When Harper and Dimitri's paths collide, the only thing more dangerous than lies might be the truth, but either might destroy them. Harper is forced to ally with the hated spymaster - and Dimitri is equally displeased his fate rests in her unworthy hands. Harper and Dimitri must join forces to ensure both of them survive the King's wrath in a court where betrayal is as easy as breathing. The Dragonheart is key to both their successes - but only one can possess it, and the king will not suffer its loss. Who will drown in deceit, and who will rise triumphant? Meg Cowley returns with a new dark fantasy quartet set in the same world as Books of Caledan series.

Court of Shadows

2019

Evil returns to Pelenor. The Court of Shadows will reign. The revolution has begun. Dimitri raised Saradon willingly; but now he realises that time, hate, and the darkest of magics have twisted a revolutionary into an evil that seeks dominion over all. Dimitri is bound to Saradon’s cause, no matter the abhorrent acts Saradon already commits. The dwarven realm of Valtivar shall be the first to fall to the feral scourge of goblins, followed by the crumbling kingdom of Pelenor, unless Dimitri can somehow twist his orders to avert the death of both nations before it is too late. Harper is thrust into the middle of the conflict when her dwarven companion Ragnar is taken by the goblin horde. But, the hands of fate play a melody she cannot begin to dream of. In the dwarven halls, she discovers her destiny, and her identity at the hands of a goddess-like prophetess. It could not be farther from what she imagines. The truth will pit all against her, for Harper holds great darkness within her, but in her hands is the only chance for success - and it is nigh on impossible. Now, Harper finds herself in a race to not only save her friend, but the future of Valtivar and Pelenor. Will Harper and Dimitri be able to work together to defeat Saradon?

Order of Valxiron

2019

Saradon rules Pelenor with an iron fist. The Court of Tournai is beholden to him. A new Order, loyal to the Dark One of Altarea, rises under his dominion. Trapped under his control, Harper and Dimitri are forced to ally to survive, but neither can protect the other from Saradon's orders. Harper finds herself drawn into a darkness from which she cannot escape. Love and friendship endure even in the darkest times, but they may not be enough to turn the tide. Her former companions cannot hope to save her, stranded in the dwarven realm of Valtivar. Korrin is determined to wrest control of the mountains back from Saradon and the goblin scourge, but the cost will be high, and the dwarves cannot prevail alone. Ragnar must decide where his loyalties lay; with the family he has chosen, or the kin bound to him by blood. The companions know Erendriel's edicts; the only scraps of faint hope any of them can cling to, but Pelenor is without allies and falls from within. Aedon only sees one choice. He must journey far to beseech help from an unlikely ally - one who would sooner see Aedon dead than treat with him. War comes for Pelenor. The Dark One of Altarea will have his dominion. Will Pelenor be the first to fall, or can Harper and her far-flung companions somehow avert catastrophe?

Mark of Fate

2020

Return to Pelenor for the thrilling climax of the Chronicles of Pelenor series. Valxiron rises. All else will fall. The Darkness of Altarea is come anew. Saradon has taken Pelenor for his own, but underneath his skin, Valxiron lurks, ready to seize control. Pelenor's forces are fractured and weak against the growing power of the Order of Valxiron, finally united underneath his leadership. Trapped within his ranks is Dimitri; to his despair, his father cedes the South to the dark king, paving the way for his forces to become unstoppable. All that stands between doom and redemption is Erendriel's cryptic prophecy, which only leads to more questions. Increasingly frustrated, Harper and her companions split to try and find a Dragonheart, an army, and the courage to save Pelenor before the final battle that will see it doomed without their desperate actions. Dimitri, Harper, Aedon and their companions risk everything to give Pelenor what slim chance they can - but some of them will not live to see whether the next age brings light or darkness. Who will give the ultimate sacrifice to save those they love and the land of Pelenor... and will they succeed?
