“Every story begins with a single dream”
The Books
Stories that began as dreams and grew into worlds.
Book One — The Last of Ryn Dvarek
A Journey Into Dreams
Second Edition — February 2024
In Rensfort, dreams are just dreams — fleeting whispers that fade with the morning light. But for Cael, a blacksmith's son, the dreams do not fade. They pull him bodily into forests he has never seen, leave him battered and lost miles from home, and grow more vivid and more dangerous with each passing night.
When a Seeker named Landon arrives and reveals that Cael is a Dreamer — one born with gifts that can reshape the physical world — everything fractures. Torn from his family and joined by Wynn, an orphan whose own gifts are the opposite of his, Cael must journey across the Five Kingdoms toward the Academy on the Isle of Storms. Along the way, a storm at sea binds their minds together in a Joining that can never be undone.
But the road is hunted. Seekers recruit. The Sephalim steal children by force. And the Hunters — beings of storm and bone — pursue something they call the Aenari. As Cael and Wynn navigate their growing bond and the impossible things they can do together, they begin to question everything: Landon's secrets, the Academy's true purpose, and whether the dreams that brought them together are a gift — or a power the world would rather see destroyed.
Themes & Elements
Dreams & Power
Dreamers and the Dreamless. Alteration and Maruleth. When the boundary between sleeping and waking dissolves, the gifts that emerge are as terrifying as they are wondrous.
Coming of Age
Two young people torn from everything they know, bonded by a Joining that fuses their minds and senses — forced to discover who they are in a world that fears what they might become.
Epic Journey
A trek across the Five Kingdoms, from the forges of Rensfort to the tree-city of Ayverden to the grand Winter Festival of Oarna — and through the storm wall to the Academy beyond.
Magic & Intrigue
Seekers who recruit, Sephalim who steal, and Hunters who pursue. Everyone wants what Cael and Wynn carry — and not everyone can be trusted.
The Road Ahead
Three books. One world. A journey that began with a dream — and will end where all great stories do: with the truth.
Book One
A Journey Into Dreams
Where it all begins. A blacksmith's son and an orphan girl, bonded by a Joining that can never be broken, set on a path across the Five Kingdoms toward the Isle of Storms — and toward the truth about what they carry within.
Book Two
Title to be revealed
The journey deepens. The Academy's secrets begin to unravel. And the gifts Cael and Wynn carry will be tested in ways neither could have imagined. The Five Kingdoms are changing — and not everyone will survive what comes next.
Book Three
The End of the Journey
Every road has a destination. Every dream, an awakening. The final chapter of The Last of Ryn Dvarek will bring Cael, Wynn, and the Five Kingdoms to a conclusion that has been building since the very first page.
