Tesser

A Dragon Among Us

2014

From the creator of Elmoryn, and the author of the smash hit horror epic Adrian's Undead Diary... Welcome to Tesser: A Dragon Among Us, the first Reemergence Novel. Imagine for a moment that you are a Dragon. A creature of unimaginable power, unending intelligence and strength, and you've just woken from ten thousand years of slumber. Worse yet, you've awoken underneath a city; Boston, an alien and strange place that defies everything you've ever known. Your last memories were of primordial forests, erupting volcanoes sculpting a developing world, faeries, witches, vampires, krakens, and monsters that feared where you turned your eyes. But all that is gone. Humans, only barely coming into their own in the world from your memory, have taken over. They have erected cities made of stone and steel erupting from the earth like stalagmites reaching for the high blue sky, and developed sciences that have overshadowed even the glory of old magic. This was not the way it was supposed to be. Meet Tesser, the Dragon. He who walks in any form, and flies the skies free of fear. A Dragon Among Us is Tesser's story. Walk with him as he learns the human way, and discovers the dark truth about why magic has really faded from the world he calls home. And just maybe, humanity will remember why dragons were most noble, and most savage creatures again. Welcome to The Reemergence. Tesser: A Dragon Among Us is a mythical journey into urban fantasy. Set in the modern day but filled with elements of wonder and magic, it is sure to please enthusiasts of both action, adventure, and romance.

Ambryn & the Cheaters of Death

2015

The long awaited second book of the critically acclaimed, best-selling Reemergence is here. With an important diplomatic visit to the troll nation just days away, Tesser receives a phone call with dire news from Sin City. A bus is found in the desert; filled with the husks of dead bodies killed by something far from human. Unable to break away from the crucial meeting with the ancient troll kingdom he dispatches his brother Ambryn; the dragon of death in his stead. Ancient mistakes are finally ripening like rotten fruit, and the black dragon must rush to the December desert of Nevada to harvest his own missteps before they transform an entire city into a necropolis before the world's eyes. And this time Ambryn doesn't have the help of his sister Kaula, so his task may be nearly impossible. At least now he has Mr. Doyle, Spoon, and a dark man with darker deeds in his past from old Europe on his side. Not all change is good. Welcome to the Reemergence.

Fyelrath & the Coven's Curse

2017

Welcome to the Third Novel in The Reemergence. Baby Astrid and the magic that she is grows older, and around her all things ancient awaken, changing the modern world, and not always for the better. Abe Fellows—recent graduate of Quantico and newly minted agent of Tapper—is sent to London to investigate a series of bizarre mutations that seem to have been infected by an arcane virus. All creatures great and small flee the waters of the eastern Atlantic, fleeing panicked and mindless to escape an unknown threat that comes from an unknown place and time, and Fyelrath brooks no assault on her domain. The dragon of water joins Abraham in his hunt for answers as threats emerge from the city as well as the deep. And it's only a matter of time before the eldritch threat rises up from its slumber, and consumes Earth. Again.

Tesser

A Father Enraged

2018

Tesser, dragon of life, immortal force of Earth, has his hands full. He's a father to a dragon child that's about to turn one. A dragon child that smiles, laughs, knows a few words, and is the source for all magic on Earth. So long as he has Matty—Astrid's mom, and the love of his very long life—everything will be okay. So they're gonna party with the trolls, who celebrate Matty's distant troll lineage like she's one of their own, and you best believe they celebrate the dragon child that shares a tiny bit of their blood too. But not all trolls are happy with their situation beneath the Jotunheimen Mountains in Norway. Some of the ancient monsters want change; some hate it. All are nervous, and excited. But some forces in the caverns of Ygg'rasgard want change that requires blood to be spilled, and for a little girl to be taken from her mother, and father. And deeper still, other forgotten forces stir.

Abraham and Spoon bring Zeud to Japan to investigate, and are dragged into a unfolding catastrophe at the hands of those responsible for the Fukushima incident. You see… they were trying to fix Japan’s scar with their magic, but in the process, unleashed something never before combined on Earth; The power of magic, mixed with the power of the atom. Time is short before what they have done will destroy far more than Japan, and it’s a race for the two Tapper agents, and the Dragon of Fire to stop them.
