The Wrath of the Orphans

2013

Malwynn and his twin sister Umaryn live in a small town in northern Varrland. In idyllic New Picknell nearly nothing happens, and when their day to day routine is interrupted by a skirmish between an invading patrol of the dead from The Amaranth Empire and a defending force from Varrland, their world begins to come undone. With international war looming on the horizon New Picknell becomes the center of quite unwanted attention, and the twins have their world shattered. With nothing left to lose, they set out on a mission of vengeance that will take them to places they'd never dreamed of visiting, discovering mystical powers in The Way that will change their lives forever, and revealing dark knowledges best left undiscovered. Written by the author of the internet phenomenon Adrian's Undead Diary, The Wrath of the Orphans is the first book in a sprawling dark fantasy epic trilogy that is sure to thrill, charm, and disturb.

The Echoes of Sin

2016

With a mysterious key in hand, and their only friends by their side, the twins Malwynn and Umaryn race against the Amaranth Empire's Invasion. Chased from the capital city of Varrland, branded as criminals for the murder of their traitorous aunt, they begin the trek to the forlorn wilderness of Duulan. They seek a village where their parents had nearly perished decades ago, where an abandoned mine, protected by an army of the dead, conceals the darkest secrets of Elmoryn. Can the twins unveil the secret that hundreds died for before the Purple Queen's army overruns Ockham's Fringe? Will it even matter once they discover what lies beneath the earth of Duulan? Conspiracies older than memory are dug up and revealed, the echoes of sins long hidden in the darkest recesses of time. The worst may be yet to come. The Echoes of Sin is the third and final installment of Elmoryn's The Kinless Trilogy, a dark and wonderful exploration of dark fantasy and steampunk.
