But Sofia has her own burdens.

Meanwhile, far across the western desert, Ain, a young Pathfinder, is thrust into the role of Seeker. Before winter storms close the way, he must leave his home on a quest to locate the Sea Shrine and take revenge on the people who drove his ancestors from Anaskar, the city ruled by the prince Sofia and Notch are sworn to protect, whether he wants their help or not.

Stepping Over Seasons
Stepping Over Seasons artfully depicts the finer details of life, encapsulating change within people and places as the seasons unfurl. In 'Overlook', Capes argues that it's much easier for great poets to romanticise the world's most classic cities by poetically and playfully ridiculing his own not-so-romantic Australian hometown. Asserting that, in this digital age, everything can be recorded in some way, the poem 'Late Night' claims there is no longer a need for people to appreciate things "in the moment." The poem 'Leaking' describes the love seeping out of two people with the momentum of a leaking tap.
War Heart
Envy can slay even the mightiest heroes. Kilek dreams of becoming a hero. Which is why when a goddess calls him and his friends to adventure far from their sleepy village, he’s ecstatic. But when his friends are transformed into adults with weapons, magic and more, Kilek gets nothing—except a divine mission and bitter odds. A hoard of giant insects and the agents of rival gods threaten the land, and it’s his mission to resurrect the dragons that can defeat them. Feeling cheated and adrift, Kilek does his best to be useful. But as his friends repeatedly risk themselves to save him, he slips further into bitterness. Can Kilek push past his envy and become a hero without the goddess’ gifts, or will his failures doom them all? War Heart is the first exciting fantasy novel in the Five Furies series. If you love epic quests, impossible odds, and underdog heroes, dive into War Heart!
Steampunk Fairy Tales
A toyshop owner builds a set of magic clockwork dolls that delight a factory town. A three-inch tall samurai faces a giant iron ogre with only a sewing needle and a coin.
