When a simple mission goes wrong, intergalactic space captain Jessa Arbelle nearly goes down with her ship. Her escape pod lands on Indemnion, a planet known for its raw, raucous societies, and Jessa’s top priority is keeping the few survivors with her safe while finding a way back home. That’s when she meets mysterious scrounger Kylin Enderson, a useful and attractive distraction she can hardly afford with so much at stake. Kylin resents Jessa’s silver spoon attitude, especially since Jessa has no idea what real life is like. Kylin has enough trouble keeping ahead of the creditors she owes for some of her more secretive undertakings, without having to help the beautiful captain who fell from the sky. But Kylin’s always been a sucker for a damsel in distress, and this time is no different. When Kylin’s secret comes out, it puts their growing attraction, as well as Jessa’s life, in danger. Will everything come crashing down, or can they change course before it’s too late?

They live in Ickne Noir's Home for Lost Children, but things are not quite as they seem. You see, Ickne Noir's may be a children's home, but it's also the place where neighbouring realms send their young spies and assassins. All the children there are deadly. Apart from Frankin… but you'll find out more about him soon enough. A beautiful song leads them all into the menacing and mysterious Woods of Waiting. That song will set all three towards fates they could never imagine. Dark paths and dangerous things await in the Woods of Waiting. Caution: This fiendish fantasy may contain monsters and swearing. Actually, it absolutely does contain both of those things. Prequel to The Volkdrow Chronicles.
Kieran's blood boils every time he hears about the abuse handed down by Teleria's nobility. But years of hiding in his father's smithy have taught him to avoid trouble. Content with being a blacksmith, the only disruptions in his well-ordered life are his disturbing dreams. It isn't until his twentieth birthday, when he receives a mysterious letter and sword from King Arathor - the man who claims to be his real father - that he wonders if his nightmares have become reality. If he believes Arathor, he will have a chance to end a twenty-year curse over Teleria, and free the people from King Rahnak's oppression. But it could also mean giving up his quest to find the mysterious woman with whom he shares an intimate heart connection.
One sword... a whole load of chaos! Part dungeon break, part magical sword heist, "The Blade of Absolution" kicks off "The Volkdrow Chronicles" with a hearty dose of monsters, magic, and mayhem. Set in the monstrous world of Venari, deep in the sprawling city of Red Fern, "The Blade of Absolution" follows Everfrost as she goes in search of adventure and her ever-so-slightly nefarious father. Things don't quite go to plan and, as chaos ensues, she meets Woodrow (a half-orc assassin), Pyggbe (an untrustworthy goblin), and Yelkrie (another untrustworthy goblin... but with a trick or two up her sleeve). Will they work together or will they be at each other's throats? For those familiar with Lou Yardley's Venari tales, this book will introduce you to characters and monsters, old and new. If you're brand new to this world, get comfy and prepare yourself for some epic fiendish fantasy, adventure, monsters, foul-language, odd humour, and a splash of gore.
