Brenna, Franklin, and Jerm are three normal children in Red Fern. Well… they're as 'normal' as things get in Red Fern. 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.
Creep
Welcome to the monstrous world of Venari... try not to get eaten... Angus Rutland has been to war and now it’s time to go back home. Battle has changed him and he knows that life is going to change for him in Red Fern too. And he’s absolutely right. It’s just not going to change in the way he has planned. Angus expected independence from his parents, a house and maybe a new career. Instead, he’s found himself up to his neck in monsters, treachery, and an invading army. This novella is a deliciously dark fantasy set in Lou Yardley’s monstrous world of Venari. Dive right in for monsters and gore! “Creep” is part of a small series that introduces the wonderful, if monstrous, world of Venari. The books can be read in any order, but there are little nuggets of fun that will be enjoyed if read chronologically.
Banished
Welcome to the monstrous world of Venari. Try not to get eaten. Elkbury is an idyllic village, hidden away in a rural area of pseudo-medieval Venari. It's a place free of death and disease due to a mysterious ceremony called the Banishment. It's a secret system that has worked well for decades. But, secrets rarely stay secret forever. When Hedwin's grandmother is about to undertake her own Banishment, he and his best friend Laura Beth decide to find out what their beloved Anastasia is about to experience. Just like disease, murder has no place in Elkbury, but it has wormed its way in. Wren Goodwort takes it upon herself to find the mysterious killer and clear her name in the process. Soon Wren, Hedwin, Laura Beth, and the rest of the villagers are thrown together to fight for their lives as deadly, monstrous, and hungry secrets are uncovered and Elkbury's delicate balance is destroyed. "Banished" will introduce you to your new favourite monsters; some human, some not.
Everfrost
Elkbury is all sixteen-year-old Beatrice Crane has ever known. Raised by her over-protective father, she dreams about leaving the village. When Grub and his fellow soldiers arrive in the Old Dead Oak, it seems like her dreams are about to come true. But dreams in Venari have a deadly habit of turning into nightmares. As she ventures out of Elkbury to journey to the mysterious Everfrost, Beatrice learns about monsters large and small, violence, death, and more than a little about herself. The Queen's Guard have been sent to Everfrost to find out why the settlements in the area keep failing. Why do no survivors ever make it back to Red Fern? The Queen's scholars and the Knights of the Green Fi...
The Blade of Absolution
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.
Darkened Wings Flutter
“The end is nigh when darkened wings flutter…” The small town of Crow’s Foot Hollow is thrown into turmoil when a local boy called Dwayne goes missing. For teacher Beth Harwood, it soon becomes clear that the nearby forest is connected to his disappearance.

But the forest isn’t the only thing you have to worry about in Crow’s Foot Hollow. Sometimes the dangers are much closer to home. Chuck Graves lives next door to a family with their share of problems - a couple that always argues, a little girl called Imogen who creeps the hell out of everyone - but they appear to be held together by little Ryan who keeps on smiling regardless of what’s going on.
