Dreams of Magic

2022

They called him a war hero. The savior of the Islands. The greatest weather mage the Islands ever knew. But once, he was a lonely, misfit youth with some impossible dreams. Esavas Daruvias wants two things in life - to become a weather mage and to marry the girl of his dreams. But, bookish and awkward, his magical power stunted since childhood, he's a failure at everything a highborn mage is supposed to be, and life as a scholar at the remote, secluded Tower is his only hope of refuge from a society where he doesn't belong. Then his father offers him the impossible, an arranged marriage to the beautiful Pirazina, the girl he's always loved - who barely knows he exists. To win her heart and admiration, Esavas takes desperate measures to become the mage and man he longs to be, determined to make his dreams a reality even at the risk of losing his power, his freedom, and his future. Start your magical adventure through the Islands with Dreams of Magic, the prequel to the epic romantic fantasy series Mage of Storm and Sea. From an austere scholars' tower to sun-soaked beaches, from desperate hillside battles to seas full of danger, come discover a new world of wonder, danger, and magic. Contains strong language and mature subject matter, including drug and alcohol use and sexual references.

Sea of Magic

2022

For years, Leshi has been enthralled by her father’s stories of fighting beside the great war hero Honored Master Esavas. When a malign force from the sea brings tragedy to their village, Leshi knows they need the help of a mage. Though she has untrained magical powers, she can never reveal them or else the law of the mages will tear her away from everything she knows. So she goes in search of Master Esavas, to ask him to save her village. But what she finds isn’t what she expected… After his devastating losses during the war, Esavas is broken, bitter, and without hope, burying his pain in drink and hiding from everyone who knows him. When the daughter of Baros, his captain and good friend, tracks him down, begging him to come protect her village, all he wants is for her to leave him alone. But even though he has no help to give and the hunt for the evil that threatens Leshi’s home seems futile, how can he say no to his captain’s daughter? As they travel across seas of danger and magic, Leshi and Esavas discover they need each other in ways they hadn’t expected. Leshi must accept the power she has always tried to deny, and Esavas must open himself to a new purpose in life - and they must both resist the love growing between them, forbidden by the laws of mage society that have laid claim on Leshi as an untrained mage. But neither love nor laws will matter if Leshi and Esavas can't find a way to defeat the evil threatening the villagers of Leshi’s little archipelago before it grows strong enough to sweep over all the Mardavian Islands. Contains violence, strong language, and sensual content.

Storm of Magic

2023

After losing everything else, they found each other. Now Leshi and Esavas are ready to begin their new life together in Yevoruta, the city of the mages. But the battles of the past raised more questions than they answered, questions that themselves must be answered if Esavas and Leshi are to lay the ghosts of the past to rest and find peace in their new life. But beneath the mannered, elegant surface of mage society lies treachery, and the search for those answers could cost Leshi and Esavas everything as they face the difficult - and heart-wrenching - challenge of stopping the evil that threatens to consume the life of their beloved Islands. Storm of Magic is the epic conclusion of Mage of Storm and Sea. Contains strong language, violence, mature subject matter, and sensual content.
