Every big old city has one: a neighbourhood where the houses are tiny, almost touching each other, misshapen and crooked from the day they were built. This one's called Mechanicsville. The Mechanicsville Monologues are based on the lives and stories of people from the Mechanicsville and Hintonburg districts in Ottawa, Canada.
The city of Caphedra long stood as a centre of commerce and a seat of conquest, until the murder of its king sends the land spiraling into a dangerous war of succession. Now, as the power-hungry zealots of a queen race to clash with the army of a prince and his vindictive Lord Marshal, this once grand city faces destruction. Can a nobleman's scheme to champion a tormented princess provide another path, despite her mysterious affliction? And what ancient forces might truly be contesting over the heirs of the royal kingdom? Drawn into the middle, three friends must navigate the perils of duty, devotion, and duplicity before victory can be declared, and the sought-after crown of this crumbling capital awarded. Ian Robert Ross is a fantasy and science fiction author living in Ottawa, Canada. Crown of Caphedra is his first novel-length work of fiction and marks his debut into the world of epic fantasy. It was written to serve as a foundation for his upcoming works to expand upon the Kingdom of Caphedra and the Path of the Four Pillars.

Petra and Daniel have little use for the quaint fishing Village their parents have forced them to visit on holiday. They don't know that this Village has a legacy of Dragons. Much more fun than exploring museums or picturesque ruins, a small stone on a lonely beach offers them the chance to perform magic, match wits with elementals, steal hearts, go to war, write poetry, escape from a pirate, and sail "The Laughing Princess." Their dull, rainy world will never be the same. From the pen of the celebrated author of The Astreya Trilogy, these fantastic and slightly melancholy stories are sure to resonate with the questions you carry deep down inside as you go about your everyday life.
